I am friends with my massage therapist.

&nbsp;

<strong><a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2010/12/23/day-86-tis-the-season-for-a-home-massage/" target="_blank">You've met her before. </a></strong> She's the greatest.  If you live in my fair city and need some TLC, write me and I'll give you Melody's number.

&nbsp;

Anywho, since Melody and I have become friends through many massages throughout the years, we talk a bit before I pass out on the table and drift to lala land.  We share the latest and greatest in our lives.

&nbsp;

Melody is not only World's Greatest Massage Therapist, but also Volunteer of the Century.

&nbsp;

It's true!  The woman is always volunteering.  She's either at <a href="http://www.fmsc.org/" target="_blank"><strong>Feed My Starving Children</strong> </a>or leading hospital patients in song or showing patrons around the historic Orpheum Theatre or you name it!  She's there!  Melody makes the world a better place one volunteer gig at a time.

&nbsp;

Melody's latest massage table announcement was that she applied to volunteer for the <a href="http://www.sundance.org/" target="_blank"><strong>Sundance Film Festival.</strong></a>

&nbsp;

Wow.

&nbsp;

She then proceeded to tell me that she convinced our mutual friend Sarah to apply.  Would I consider applying as well?

&nbsp;

Double wow.

&nbsp;

Honestly, I'm not sure I even knew that one could volunteer for Sundance.  Did you?  I suppose that I never stopped to think about it.

&nbsp;

But when I heard that the opportunity exists and I'm on a mission to live playfully and curiously and all that jazz, how could I NOT apply?

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Can you say, "OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME???"

&nbsp;

By the way, application doesn't necessarily mean you're "in".  Volunteers are handpicked.

&nbsp;

Melody and Sarah have already been interviewed phone.  I am next.

&nbsp;

Sundance January 2013 or Bust?

To be continued . . . .
