ideas living outside of your head

Bringing ideas to life is addictive. 

I can't describe what it's like to dream up a concept and see that same concept come to life. It's the closest thing to magic and brings to mind Elizabeth Gilbert’s quote about creating “whatever causes revolution in your heart." 

These dinners cause that revolution. But even though these events stir up my soul, I feel incredibly nervous at the beginning of each one. I used to think this nervousness was because I was young and inexperienced, but I'm realizing it's just part of the game.

With these events I'm constantly pushing myself outside of my comfort zone and I think this nervousness is always going to be along for the ride. I once read that feeling uncomfortable means that you're growing -- I like that. It means I've been growing a lot lately.

Below are a few more shots from the evening, courtesy of Kenzie Wyatt. It was a wonderful night and I can't wait to do it all again soon. It's strange to see these pictures and realize that every single person came to an event that I helped to organize, that I helped to manifest, so to speak. I’m in the business of making memories for other people, I guess.

Life is unexpected, weird, and spectacular.
