It turned out that Monday, February 8, was a new moon, the Chinese New Year and the start of &#8220;Random Acts of Kindness Week.&#8221; Made me smile. New energy, new beginnings, expressions of kindness. It seemed perfect.<\/p>\n<p>I am feeling so grateful for the support and response of the site so far. It&#8217;s been an exciting day for us! Sometimes when you get your head deep into something it&#8217;s hard to see it for what it is, and too easy to focus on the nitty gritty details. Launching was like setting it all free, and stepping back with a little bit of distance has given me a chance to acknowledge all the work we&#8217;ve done and to see it as a whole. While on the one hand it&#8217;s just a web site, on the other it&#8217;s what feels like a new beginning. I feel that so many fragments of things I&#8217;ve been working on are coming together and sometimes it just takes having the right space to <em>bring<\/em> it together.<\/p>\n<p>This bench scene I came up to in the studio today &#8211; the works in progress left from the day prior &#8211; created a similar feeling for me. Wood, cloth, leather, my thoughts being organized on paper &#8211; many parts in progress coming into a unified whole.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I finally settled on a date to launch the new site, I went to mark it on the calendar.
