I decided that this year would be the beginning of my love affair with uncomfortable situations.
Scott Schuldt, in conjunction with
Anchor Art Space, was offering a mapping workshop. I knew at once that I would do it and it scared me to death. I am self taught in the math department and so, needless to say, I am capable in the basics and what I've had to learn for my business, anything else is foreign territory.
I must admit that when we began, I was totally lost then, with Scott's able instruction, I slowly began to make sense of it all. By the time the workshop had ended, I felt empowered with a skill I never knew I needed.. and I'm still wondering what exactly to do with this new information.. it will be useful, I think, when in the woods. I will use it somehow, sometime.
There's a lot to be said for leaping out of the comfort zone!

My finished product: I now know, without being able to get there,
how far it is to that tug boat. |
