There are no coincidences
Or are there?
So yesterday I was driving and I had a conversation in my head that went something like this with my neighbor:
Self: I was thinking about whether we should move to long term rentals up front and spoke with someone and they said that when people rent from you long term they tend to get very proprietary and very demanding.
Neighbor: Well have you thought about getting a job?
Self: I knew you would ask that, but what would you do if you weren’t working for your family?
Neighbor: ____
Later, I went and sat down at the table on the bayou and a bunch of neighbors gathered liked birds on a wire and one was talking about her new job as the Social Director at a home for the elderly and THAT neighbor said, “I’d love to do your job.” SHE ANSWERED MY QUESTION – so weird.
The other day I was driving down the street and I saw not one, but two Winnebagos that were the perfect size for my family to take to the open road and see America. I want to rewrite Travels with Charly for modern day, instead of it being about this lone male and his dog, it would be this beholden over 50 woman dragging her adopted child, partner, and crew of animals – I had this thought in my I’m going to India mood, because why go to India, what I’m searching for is in my own backyard, no? I had this entire conversation about this and then … .
My cyber creative friend Anne Flournoy sent me a note via Facebook and said, I see you are friends with Mudd Lavoie and I said, “Who?” So went to her Facebook and then blog site where I read one post on her Westfalia love and I was hooked and thought, “I want to be friends with Mudd Lavoie, I am friends with Mudd Lavoie!” ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE.
Things are getting interestinger and interestinger.

Bonjour Rachel!
Yes… the Universe works in mysterious ways ā it’s *magic*.
And though I don’t know what’s going to come of it all, I’m sure we’ll meet somewhere down the road.
While reading about cramming family and animals in a Winnebago, a modern Noah’s Ark on wheels came to mind. Maybe it’s a sign you should start *building* that dream in order for you to be *showered* by abundance. Oh geez… I need my medication š

MM – I just finished writing this to a friend “I’ve been so wedded to holding onto this house and my life as it was – I’m still pretty fearful of my life as it is. So it’s all going to be okay once I am able to completely obliterate the before – ha! – and be here.” I keep wondering what my decision would be if Katrina/Federal Flood happened today – my response would be categorically different. Then I clung, now I’d let the waters wash me clean. I’ve sworn off medication for the time being but haven’t fully given up on it. Nice to meet you (thanks Anne), R

Was joking about needing my medication, thus the wink.
Maybe I shouldn’t joke about meds, though = sorry. I did take my share of antidepressants for a few years… many many moons ago… but now, I can truly say I’ve made peace with the past and I’m happy for the first time in my life. It’s quite a liberation. Much like flying, I suppose, only without the strain of having to flap your arms. š
I’m amazed at how prolific you are at writing ā so many posts in so little time. I’m such a lazy bum! In months to come, I’m going to work at being sustainably creative. Have you heard of Michael Nobbs? He’s such an inspiration.
Okay, enough chit-chat. Leaving tomorrow on a 3-hour bus ride to spend Easter with my son & family. Three grandsons waiting to hear about my new life and adventures in the mountains. Fun times ahead. And soooooooo much LOVE.
Keep on dreaming!

I took the meds joke and was joking back – my meds are an occasional cig, wine and gin + tonics. I can’t believe I just confessed to the cigs – I quit a million years ago! Good grief. But yes, I’m happy too – and it’s all good. Enjoy your trip.

I love this Michael Nobbs – and just passed on to a creative friend who said in so many words that she feels like she is chasing her tail and running out of steam – perfect for her (and me). Thanks.
