            <title>a Big Fat YES</title>
            <link>http://nicolagordon.com/blog.html/a_big_fat_yes</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: medium;">A few months ago I realized that it was time to  leave my residence of 17 years.&nbsp; It was summer. I had the time; I'd been  contemplating this for a while.&nbsp; Every time I felt into it if it was  time, I got a big fat YES, so I gave notice.&nbsp; A few days before it was  time to leave it suddenly dawned on me, this was a way bigger event than  I had imagined.&nbsp; Why did I decide to do this?&nbsp; I have WAY more stuff  than I thought...there is so much to clean... I'm never gonna get this  all done on time...what was I thinking?</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Then I remember that big  fat YES I had to doing it in the first place.&nbsp; I returned to that  initial inspiration:&nbsp; Yes, it's time.&nbsp; I opened to that YES.&nbsp; It all  flowed graciously from that point on.&nbsp; Angels (my friends) helped,  things fell into line, I got out easefully with two hours to spare.&nbsp;  Magic.</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Around that same time I decided to move, I bumped into  Robinson, the engineer of my past CDs.&nbsp; It had been awhile since my last  CD of original songs, 7 years to be exact.&nbsp; I'm always writing, and I  had oodles of songs screaming out to be recorded.&nbsp; Robinson told me he  had the time.&nbsp; I had time too (what's alittle moving?!?), there was that  big fat YES.&nbsp; I decided to go for it.&nbsp;</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Money? someone told me  about this Kickstarter thing, I checked it out and here we are rolling  along.&nbsp;&nbsp; the past few days, I've been getting scared. We are getting  near deadline, not quite cutting the mustard... what was I thinking?&nbsp;  This will never work! Why did I decide to do this now?&nbsp; Last night I  went for a long walk/run and howled (in my head) at the full moon.&nbsp;  Released my fears, remembered once again that big huge YES I had to  doing this project.</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Well guess what?&nbsp; This morning a friend  emailed me.&nbsp; He and his wife are going to take up the slack on Sunday if  I haven't made the goal.&nbsp; It's working out.&nbsp; More than anything I'm  amazed at the magic of listening to the big fat YES and taking the leap.</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Thankyou all for sharing this grand adventure.&nbsp; You got any big fat YES's wanting to happen?&nbsp;</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Jump!!</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Nicola</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;">p.s. check out this video:</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://vimeo.com/25496723" target="_blank">Hell Yeah or No</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/sivers" target="_blank">Derek Sivers</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/" target="_blank">Vimeo</a>.</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><img alt="" /></span></p><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p>Everyone says I should.&nbsp; Blog that is. OK, I will.</p><br /><p>I was running on the beach and my friend Lisa called the ukulele a 'portal of innocence'.</p><br /><p>Wow, I love that.</p><br /><p>The concert last night was phenomenal. Defintely a portal for me. Thankyou all who came.<img title="DSC08057.jpg" src="http://nicolagordon.com/images/DSC08057.jpg" alt="DSC08057.jpg" width="314" height="209" /></p>]]></description>
