I trip over things (once I tripped on a step and ended up doing an impromptu Elvis impersonation. Another time I knocked over the podium, including the jug of ice water sitting on it), I laugh at my own jokes, and I spend so much time getting feedback and ideas from the audience I barely have time to say what I came to say.Bonnie Grovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377519561074174038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360410252358941163.post-18138941530695614582012-03-10T07:23:17.731-08:002012-03-10T07:23:17.731-08:00Yes!

I...Yes! That's it! I am a bright idea junkie.<br />I have never been successful at living on love; but I thought it was faith, hope and trust to live on bright ideas - the adrenaline led me to believe grand things. Oh, Bonnie, this is the stuff opening sessions of writer's conferences should be made of. Have you videoed it for Youtube yet? Go big. Spotlight. Burnished wood speaker's podium. Be sure and show thousands in the darkened auditorium laughing at the cliff-hanger cartoon on the big screen.Cherry Odelberghttp://einefeistyberg.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360410252358941163.post-51354829450510544102012-03-09T19:24:39.392-08:002012-03-09T19:24:39.392-08:00Ha ha, Steve.

We're a jumpy lot, aren't we? Always forgetting where we are, and being startled back to reality. So prefer the playground in my mind.Bonnie Grovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377519561074174038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360410252358941163.post-10117670001219318292012-03-09T07:24:08.403-08:002012-03-09T07:24:08.403-08:00Ah, yes, the inspiration induced wedgie. Excuse me...Ah, yes, the inspiration induced wedgie. Excuse me while I...just...ah. Much better.<br /><br />Last week, inspiration tugged me along right before church started. I wrote like a crazy woman in my journal. When my friend approached and said "hi" I nearly had a heart attack! I'd forgotten where I was for a moment.<br /><br />Great post, Bonnie!Susie Finkbeinerhttp://www.susiefinkbeiner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360410252358941163.post-7541659694688531902012-03-09T06:39:19.091-08:002012-03-09T06:39:19.091-08:00Oh you know I love this line: "Inspiration is...Oh you know I love this line: "Inspiration isn’t the satisfactory click of things falling into place, rather, it’s a precipice from which we launch ourselves. It leads us, not into answers, but into better questions."<br /><br />That second part is what I vlogged about. Oh, yes I did. Just not brave enough to post it yet. :D<br /><br />~ WendyWendy Paine Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136235074351188350noreply@blogger.com
