Are we waiting for a formal invitation?

I was thinking this morning about what I’m often willing to put off until I am: better prepared, thinner, rested, educated, mentored…you name it.  What if a formal invitation arrived in the mail to do some of the things I want to accomplish in my lifetime?

I know the invitation is pretty absurd.  What are we waiting for though?

Maybe a formal nudge from the Universe is what’s needed now?

Thank you Emily Post Institute (headquartered in Burlington, Vermont) for helping me with the language for my formal invitation from the universe.  Here’s the link for your etiquette questions.  http://www.emilypost.com/

I always find that when I am in the mood to clean and sort my studio and it brings me joy instead of dread that it’s good for me creatively.  It means that I am making room for new possibilities.  A little extra real estate.  A clean surface with a sketch book and pencil on it just makes me swoon.  I don’t know exactly what is coming next, but 5 bags of garbage and 2 bags of recycling out the door is a great way to start a new year.
