Wow how cool & apropos is this?

Let’s face it, change, even the good kind, can be really scary. Taking a leap from the known to the unknown can unsettle the best of us. But isn’t there a quote about the only consistency in life is change, or something like that? Things change every minute so you would think we’d all be accustom by now.

Tomorrow is my last day at my current job. It hasn’t been the easiest job, but I have learned more than I could have imagined in two years and worked with some of the nicest, kindest people around. We laughed and joked around a bit…and I will have some fond memories to take with me.

Yes, that’s my boss and yes, we were working!!!

Can’t you see I’m busy?

Next Monday (well really Friday afternoon), I start my dream of working from home for a company that so shares my values and ideas. Add an incredible, smart team there and a side of an amazing freelance project and it’s looking like the summer’s shaping up quite nicely. My office view may or may not look like this…

Even still, it is a change. And there is always that touch of uncertainty. Leaving what you know and venturing into this new world is going to be really exciting. I’ve been working on manifesting this amazing set up way before I started this blog to unload my angst and theories on Law of Attraction. So it’s really exciting and very fun to get to see these changes take effect. Some will be amazing, some will be interesting and some will be surprising. But all will propel me forward in exactly the direction I’m supposed to be. So here here to that! Let the celebrations keep on coming…Stay tuned for the next chapter♥

15 Excuses of Why I’ve Been a Writing Slacker

Happy Tuesday! Yes, it’s me, and yes, I’ve been slacking in the writing department. I have some really great excuses and some pretty flimsy ones. The best excuse is that I’ve had 2 root canals within a week. They’re right next to each other too. And I have one more appt next week to get it all done (hopefully) for good. So that’s pretty legit. Unfairness aside (I floss and use my waterpik and Listerine at least 2x a day), I definitely put off having my old childhood fillings replaced. And because of that, I have only me to blame. Don’t put it off if you hear the same words from your dentist. A filling is expensive, but not nearly as pricey (both financially and emotionally) as a root canal!

My other big news is that I’m taking a big leap, quitting my current job and going to work for a fantastic new company! 2 companies as a matter of fact…Yippee!!! More on that later.

For now, here are excuses! I’ll be better now that I’ve got some new material to write about xoxo

Excuses, excuses

Airport Adventures!

Written Thursday night…I’m sitting in the call lot of San Diego Airport waiting for my Mom’s flight to land. Watching the planes take off is a daydreamer’s paradise. A huge Virgin plane is cruising down the runway as I type this.  My brain just hopped onboard, ordered a dry martini and reclined my sumptuous first class seat as purple ambient lighting pulsed and the flight attendant ran through the details fabulous flight to London. Did I mention Richard Branson’s sitting next to me and that for the next several hours we’ll play cards and swap travel stories? As we part ways at baggage claim, I get his card and a confirmed, official invite to Necker the following month. What? Hmm? Oh yes, where was I?

Virgin First Class Bar, (in a wig) Mmmm

Richard, big lifestyle crush…this man knows how to live!!!

A little weekend lounging at Necker? Ok…

Pretty sure I’m not alone daydreaming at airports. I like to think that everyone is on their way to somewhere exotic – Buenos Aires, Barcelona, San Paolo, Hong Kong or to a hometown destination where someone loves them and is so excited to see them. Airports are gateways to adventure and to stepping outside of your everyday persona, routine and often too small circles of your typical 10-mile radius. When you travel, you broaden your perspective. You can’t help it. You’re exposed to a new city, new culture and new people.

Oh yes it is…

We’re heading on weekend road trip to Baja soon, but it’s the first time I don’t have a trip booked and an airplane confirmation in my inbox. Sitting here watching the excitement, I think it’s time to change that…Um, Richard?
