Nervous!

I am participating in this year's Vagina Monologues with our Women in the Law Society. I will be one of three women reading "In the Room" a poetic piece about witnessing birth. Our dress rehearsal is tonight, and the production is on Friday. I'm excited and a wee bit nervous as this is my first time participating in the production. It's not my first time on stage, or speaking in front of crowds, thankfully. So I'm more excited than nervous about this part.

What has me a bit nervous is that I have offered to curate a small exhibition of my own art and poetry to be displayed for the cocktail hour and during the production. I have seven poems that fit the theme, and have a handful of artwork to display as well (about five pieces). I am also taking part in a photo exhibit about survivors of domestic and sexual violence. This will be my first exhibit of my own work since my college years (ten years ago now). So this has me a little nervous. I am proud of my own work though, and think it fits into this project very well. So I'm going to take the chance and show it off.
