Two Months Later. (Part 2)

Brad - whom you might remember as the Handsome Rugged Outdoorsman - and I had talked back in August when Katy and I went to see a live music gig at the Boulder Lodge. Back when we had dated, I had mentioned to Brad that he and his crew should really be on a reality TV show. He's the Peter Pan to a crew of handsome, devilish, and daring Lost Boys (also known as The Musky Tribe). All of them are ridiculously good looking (seriously, Lucky Porter looks like Brad Pitt from Legends of the Fall. I mean, COME ON.), charming and charismatic, and they spend their days living the red-blooded male's equivalent of the American Dream - fishing for water monsters in the Northwoods and getting paid for it.

So when we ran into each other this past August, we talked a little more about some of my ideas for the Musky Tribe and Brad's career. It was one of those subjects where the mere thought of the possibilities got me ridiculously psyched up, even though it wasn't even my career. So when he emailed me about taking all of that over, I knew I couldn't turn it down. Even the things that were totally outside my realm of expertise didn't scare me, because I believed so much in the potential Brad and these guys had that I knew that enthusiasm would be enough to sail me smoothly through the uncharted waters.

And the funny thing is...it all fit in. I went back to the vision book I had created only a day before and flipped through it and  realized that almost everything I had put in there...it fit this.

"I really feel like the universe is watching out for you right now," Erica emailed. And I couldn't disagree. Nothing was locked in yet, but it just felt like...this time in my life when I just desperately needed some peace about where I was going to go and what I was going to do, it was as if plans were falling from the sky and landing in my inbox. And even more than that, they were the kind of plans that made me feel like I wasn't just going to be okay, but better. That there might be a reason to get excited about the future.
