I've been realizing for weeks now that this is a huge project, a very large undertaking. Yet, that's also why I'm taking longer to move forward, or get things done. I do not want, nor will it be just another information website or web presence. I also, don't want to take up a bunch of time trying to explain what it is, or organizing in words what it is, when I can show everyone what I mean by doing it. But, then again that takes time too, and I end up hoping to get paid for the work after the fact, which is not good business practice, from what I understand. Suffice it to say, I can not donate my work on this project, and I can not not do it either.
Over the decades, I've trusted my gut or intuition, for the most part, and it's served me well. Especially, in regards to where I come from. Yet, I still find myself needing to be more organized about the work itself. There are so many parts and priorities. That's the other reason for not being very organized right now, things are happening now. Things in government, like the balancing of the Minnesota state budget, unfortunately on the backs of the poor and homeless. Events that are important and relevant to this project, or just interesting to me. But, I think it's okay to be right where I'm at, in regards to this project. My vision and momentum can set my expectations a bit too high, try to do too much too soon.
I'm at the library, downtown Minneapolis, and it's closing in 10 minutes, so I need to wrap it up here. I'll just end here with noticing that this is a good start at blogging about this project, and hope to continue. One more thing on the list of things to do for this project.
Another very important aspect to this project... enjoy the process... don't stress about it. At least, not more than what's normal or healthy.
