What to Do, When Your Not Expecting

December 2, 2013

I just found out that my childhood home burned down today. In a  beautiful foreign country, surrounded by the most loving people I could ever hope to meet on the other side of the world, all I can think about is what I left behind. I wonder how my family is, the emotional state of my mother, and feverishly running through my head are things I know we will never see again… I have always felt that there is nothing more permanent than physically writing something down on a bright sheet of paper. Its like time, and philosophy, and magic come flooding out across the page. I think that’s why books created to help you succeed in life recommend it so. So many things in my life have involved paper… I worry that my Mom will never get over the loss, and yet here I sit thinking about the fact I will never get to show Isaac pictures of me […]

An Innocent Introvert’s Mistake! Getting ready to leave home for any extended period of time is difficult, let alone a new country, when you have a small business, and when you decide to do said “leaving” for 2.5 months. Some of the things you won’t of course suspect as being “difficult” is just the sheer emotional roller coaster, packing (esp for a woman), and just trying to plan for every mishap actually can cause you more strife in the long run. Here is a list of the random lessons about my second nonparental flight internationally– hope it gives you some jollies. 1) SPONTANEOUS EMOTING… Even if you try to stay strong for family members before leaving (totally admirable), just realize that your body still feels stess and will subconciously recognize what your feeling even if you don’t choose to acknowledge it!

h2 style=”text-align: center;”A Few Pitfalls of Being Fearless–/h2 The last time I went out of the western hemisphere was when I was about 14 when I went to the United Kingdom for a 21 day trip (without my parents) on a program called “People to People”. My parents were very generous sending me off in the way they did, but them doing so expanded my view on life from a very young age. 11 years later here I am about to leave America again to go with my dedicated beau to his home country to see his friends and family for 2.5 months. I think my parents are kicking themselves for getting my feet wet for international travel (very glad my parents have a sense of humor)! This trip doesn’t come without it’s selfish reasons of course. I am aiming to not only visit our album production facilities in Australia, but to network and prepare for the strategic business move […]
