Being in action, on fire, and unstoppable

Today was such a great day! Some of the things below that made it great would not have happened without the Team Management Leadership Program - 2.

Last night I had a teary completion conversation with a guy I've been dating and really would like to be with, but I woke up this morning present to completion and acceptance versus sadness.

I started the day with a long coaching call with one of my coachees and did that while walking up and down and all around a beautiful hilly park by my house, getting good exercise on a beautiful day. On my way out of the park, I passed an absolutely gorgeous guy sitting by himself on the steps of the park, playing the guitar. I got home (about 2 minutes away) and decided I needed to go back and ask that guy out! I was present to our homework of a) making unreasonable requests (hopefully it's not *that* unreasonable for him to go out with me, but it sort of is given that he's never met me before), as well as b) giving up withholding.

So, I went back over to him and asked him out. He told me he has a girlfriend, and I was about to leave, but he kept talking to me, and we ended up talking for like half an hour and had a great time. I asked him for his contact info before I left, which in the past I have avoided doing in hopes the other person would ask me for it. It was totally exhilarating.

Then I went to a protest that was organized as a result of my game in the world. I caused effective leadership of a whole bunch of people through causing an Activist Showcase last weekend through the Bay Area Animal Rights Network www.sfbaarn.com, where people who care about animals shared about what they're up to or interested in. Out of it several teams have formed around different campaigns, and I went to a protest at a KFC organized as a result of that event. (There's a campaign against KFC at www.kentuckyfriedcruelty.com.) I went to cause the leader to be successful -- I wanted to make sure there either was a good turnout or that she wouldn't be disempowered by a bad turnout. When I got there (I was late because I was talking to hot guy in the park), she was there by herself and almost near tears, and she was so happy to see me. I started reassuring her, and within 5 minutes 4 other people arrived. It was great, and she was so happy with the outcome in terms of turnout and people's responses.

Then we went out for lunch and I enrolled and made several requests of two activists to take on a project to work with that I started a long time ago and have been making myself wrong for not working on. The project involves reviving the www.VegSF.com website I created and creating a community campaign reaching out to vegetarians in the Bay Area to work with restaurants to expand their vegan options. These activists were totally enrolled in the campaign that I don't have capacity to do myself, and said yes to my requests. Sweet!

I got home at about 4:00 knowing that I'd already created a great and full day, even if it ended right then. A whole bunch of other great stuff happened after that but you get the idea.
