Taking this photo was a big deal for me. It sounds incredibly silly, but as an introvert, I find it super hard to just “be” in public. I’m working on coming out of my shell, owning my space in public, and working in places like coffee shops. Here, oddly enough, my imaginary audience is helpful – spurring me on to actually get working, and not to scroll through social media feeds. I sit on the bar – computer facing inwards for ultimate accountability.

I pushed myself out of my comfort zone last night. I sat in a hall, surrounded by creatives at a local creative entrepreneur event in Victoria, BC.  Why would that be out of your comfort zone, you ask? Wouldn’t you be right at home, and among “your people?” The answer is - I don’t know. If you’re looking for conclusions, read no further. All that follows are the strange thoughts and feelings provoked by attending such an event.
