My Heart Was Stopped; I Cannot Be

As you may or may not have seen, over the past couple of months, I’ve been all – “The announcement of my next project is coming soon.”

I kept pushing back the date, then pushing it back some more.

I thought I’d be making you a fun video with big smiles since I’d know a definitive answer by now. I have no cute official announcement video for you (yet) ’cause I don’t have an answer (yet).

But I’m gonna go ahead and just tell you what I’m working on. You can get caught up on the ride thus far, and come along on the journey.

And now… after all that way-too-much build up -

I’m trying to be approved to be an altruistic kidney donor. (And then, of course, run a big marathon event (I’m thinking Goofy Challenge) while fundraising.)

Why do I want to give a kidney to a stranger? What all does it entail? We’ll start diving in to that tomorrow.

Spoiler alert: This is still not the announcement.

And if you’re annoyed by that, you’ve got company. I’m a little annoyed that I can’t tell you about it. And I’m so sorry that I can’t!

Basically, last year’s project was completely in my control. I said I wanted to run a bunch of races – that anyone could do – and I did it.

This year, I am working on something that is a bit beyond my control. I have to be approved by other people to make it happen.

I’ve been taking notes every step of the way. So, once the secret’s out, we will be talking about it at length with multiple blog posts. Until then, we’ll just hang out and talk about other stuff. I don’t want to announce something just to say soon after, “Nevermind. It didn’t work out.”

I thought I’d know by February. Then, I learned that didn’t happen. I thought I’d hopefully know today. Nope.

As of now, I am really, really hoping for next Thursday (and that seems like a very likely possibility).

Know I have been diligently working on this since December. I’m gonna try not to let you down.

I promise that even if I face failure and this does not come to fruition, I will absolutely let you know what it was going to be, and why and how I failed. But I want to know one way or another before I share it with the world.

Thank you for your patience. Please know I am absolutely dying to share all of this with you, and I will the moment I can!

xoxo
