The Hamptons In Flip Flops and Kevin Bacon

It’s time to haul out the address books. Yes, if you missed last Monday’s post you will know I have a challenge. And by post I mean, oh man can I say this out loud in public. I put my heart and fears and foibles right out there and asked for help. And by challenge I mean, getting what I really want. So yes, exactly time to haul out the address books. Offline and on.
It’s time to play Kevin Bacon.
You know the game don’t you? The idea is that it is a small world.That we are separated by fewer degrees than you would think. And we are. This step is a key step in any successful thing I have every done.
Because one of the most valuable things you can ever have in life is a good little address book.
Ask any successful person. Go on, I’ll wait…
( the aritst makes another cup of tea)
Oh you’re back?
They agreed didn’t they?
My dream galleries ( what I want) and I are separated by fewer people than I think. So the address books come out, my noggin goes to work making connections and possible maybe’s in all directions. Before I am finished I will have combed them for every possible friend/acquaintance/colleague in common that we have.
Look up there at the photo. I had to laugh again at the things I pick for those photo still lifes. The choices are totally random and visual, but I trust them more and more. Because for each one of those pictures and stories in the photo, there is a phone number and address in the little books beside them that puts me right into the heart of each one of them.
“The Hamptons in Flip Flops”? – Sue, Dee Dee and Howard ; The Preakness?- Ned and Randy; The Daniel Boulud restaurant story ?( in between the two)- Ti and Ella and Carter. “But those aren’t galleries”, you say?
No, but I am putting the pictures of those galleries in front of me. Funny thing, the same thing is happening.
It’s Organizing Monday and this is fun.
How about you? Do you keep your address books in the picture?
