Move over Tony
A few people I know and love said some interesting things to me over the last year that helped guide me in my next steps. The message was heard loud and clear, if you don’t like your life, change it, but be creative enough to envision a life of your own making. And so began the crawling, baby steps, and now strides towards making that all come true. We went live on our VRBO, AirBnB and Google website end of the week and as I write, Tatjana is downstairs painting the laundry now second kitchen, this amazing blue color. We have a chest that a friend gave us that is going to tie the whole thing together beautifully and then WaLa, European kitchen.
We walked outside yesterday morning and the plein air painters were on the bayou in front of the LaLa, Tin kept asking me, “What are they doing Mommy?” And I said they are painting what you see, how they see it. And that’s how this leg of my journey is coming together, how I see it.
I walked down with Tin and friends to catch Gal Holiday & The Honky Tonk Revue at the Fall Festival in City Park and I found myself there in ADD mode – watch Tin, try to relax and enjoy, do this, do that, and I realized that getting me to relax into this new life is going to take some work, but it’s a hell of a lot better than the life that was being handed to me.
My maiden name is Namer, which is a Sephardic name and means Tiger in English. And sometimes I feel that I should be wearing a tiger tail to fully explain that I often have a tiger in my tank and that’s what makes me all juiced up all the time. Or like Tigger says, my top is made out of rubber, my bottom is made out of spring. My horoscope today said that I need to stretch outside my comfort zone (check) and it wrapped up by saying, a leopard may never change its spots, but you’re no leopard. You are a wise, courageous human being!
Let the games begin!
