While I was typing up that new blog post (that I was simply driven to write) I was also seeing things through social media that grabbed my attention. (A line from a particular song keeps playing through my head: “Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go”). . . and it brings that question to mind: Is it that things happen for a reason, or is it the reason we make out of things that happen? Regardless, it was truly about moving forward.
I saw a post from Andrea Tucker of Baltimore Gluten Free about a special screening of Michael Frolichstein’s documentary The Celiac Project. I was fascinated by the fact that she offered a local screening in her community.
I was pulled in and wanted to learn more. I NEEDED to learn more. I had seen the film and LOVED it. I had viewed it 2 or 3 times by that point, actually. And each time I saw it I thought, “THIS needs to be seen by everyone!” It never occurred to me, however, to provide a local showing, (until I saw Andrea’s post, that is.)
While I was writing the article about Michael’s daughter, Jessica, and their interview, I was also feeling this tug towards doing a community screening of the documentary. Life had brought me to a stand-still in one direction, but immediately put me on this other amazing path. (My GPS, as I now call it.)
