What a GREAT day. Seriously...a great day.

You ever have one of those. Where things just click. Where the answers just come. Where the last 40 years start to make sense (well...that might be stretching it a tad).

So...by the afternoon I figured out my "project" for the year. The one thing I want to do this year. Once I figured that out...the other answers just came.

1) I'm going to start the writing program at UCLA. Not for a degree...just take the classes I need to help me with my undertaking.

2) I'm going to travel this year to get some of the data I need for my project.

3) Inspire people somehow. Even if it is starting and finishing the project. No matter what happens...whether the project is a success or not...I want to inspire by the attempt.

4) Learn the lessons quicker.

5) Make the special people in my life proud. My family, friends, and significant others who taught me so much about music, charity, storytelling, compassion, integrity...I want them reflective in my work.

6) Spend more time with the people that inspire me. Whether it is teachers, entrepreneurs, storytellers, visionaries...these are the people I want to spend more time with. Hopefully my project brings me closer to them.

This is what I am going to do. More details on what "the project" is later.

So...by 7PM all I can say is that I am on my way.

8 more days to finalize some loose ends...a little time away to see family and friends...and come back to my new life.

I have a direction. I'm ready.
