Celebrating our fabulousness

Meeting 2: July 13th, 2008

The theme of this month's meeting was how to find fun and value in work. As Cara wrote long ago, it can be hard to follow through on our ideas, not just because we lack a community of sympathetically minded people but also because our end goals can at times seem so very, very far away. We all know that our work is valuable, but frustration can be disheartening, and, to speak personally, when I get disheartened, I get disillusioned with the entire point of my project. Finding ways to rekindle the fun will hopefully rekindle our motivation, enjoyment, and sense of value in our projects.
