"If I can be said to have a home, it is in New Orleans." Tennessee Williams

So, I feel like the Universe is always giving me these signs about things...even though I don't understand them..I do try and listen. Today, Kristin and I were talking..OK if I am being honest...she was really nicely listening to my ramblings as we spent the morning together.
The topic: You should live where you want to live..in the place that feeds your soul...even if that means you wash dishes to be there. I don't want to get to the end of my life and feel like I'd spent it suffocated by my surroundings..
Our conversation reached it's pinnacle at the Rum House.
I am eating tacos and rambling about my latest passion: running away to a place I can love...and my friend is patient and humoring me...
After lunch, I headed back to B.R. and  stopped at a book store to pick up the latest Dawkins book. On my way out, I dropped by the cafe to grab a coffee and  eavesdrop on the barista....
I heard her say that  she had slept on her floor for the last three months. I knew it was none of my business...but I had to ask.....and she obliged.
She was living in Boulder (the same town I lived in for 2 years), working as an architect and just decided to sell everything she had and move to New Orleans...and that she had never been happier....free of stuff...rich with life.

Thank you Cosmos...
duly noted.....

and there's nothing worse than settling too soon....

Today Kristin and I spent the morning on Magazine searching for something special. We both found things we loved in the first store, but low on dough and high on expectation......we weren't accepting any regrets this day.
We took our time, and we're graciously rewarded by not settling. See exhibits 1 & 2. ;D

1. This isn't me...it is my new treasure:

Glad we waited....
