As I was on my way to Portland last Friday getting ready for Ladies Rock Camp, I had my stash of requisite reading (Us, People, and The New York Times*). It wasn't as much fun as when Beth and Stefania were with me to provide color commentary but nonetheless, I love me some celebrity gossip.
I was reading Drew Barrymore's profile interview and she said something that I loved. In fact, it became my motto for the weekend. So I thought I'd share it with my bloggy mamas. My new mantra...a la Drew.
"Let your freak-flag fly, and if someone doesn't get you, move on."
It was the perfect thing to read right before I walked into a room of 50+ women whom I'd never met...yet I would be learning the guitar from scratch, singing, and performing, in front of all of them. Over the weekend, one of my best friends watched our rehearsal video and she IM'd me saying, "You are so in your element." And she was right.
I let my freak flag fly -- and I may not ever let it fall.
*The NYT sat in my hotel room, unopened, all weekend.
