I actually hesitated back in September when I was first invited to be a resident artist at SBCAST in Santa Barbara. Honestly, it was old programming for me to assume that my life couldn’t handle a 3-6 week commitment to be away from home somewhat suddenly. But then it snowed the next day. So here I am. Snoopy-dancing happy. I would say “pinch-me” happy but truthfully, everything about being here feels right. The timing, the peeps, the place the project. No pinching needed. Just belief and gratitude.
