For the first time since 2003, I'm not going to the Burn, either. My reasons: a nagging hip issue, my cat has a health issue and my biz is starting to blossom and I'd miss an important event related to it. Also, I'd love to move out of debt and not more into it. LOL!
The idea of missing a Burn after 22 was affecting me more than I'd like to admit. I realize it's the hubris of saying "I've never missed a Burn since I started" or "I can tell you what each Man base was since 2003!" Well, guess what? I HAVE missed burns: The ones leading up to 2003. And the photos are great! I can viscerally feel it because I've been 22 freaking times!
It's time to take a break, to take stock, to Burn without the playa. Truly burn without the burnout. Burn in my business, burn in my personal life, burn with my beautiful kitties, in my beautiful town brimming with a beautiful community. Just simply BURN in life!
The number 22 symbolizes the Master Builder: the power to manifest dreams into reality. Burning Man gave me a gift of 22. I'm going to take a break and build something beautiful in all areas of my life and infuse them with that Burner magic. Then I'm coming back for 23 to get dusty!
This post has really gotten me excited!

You have no idea what reading this means to me.
