My Dreams and a reminder from my seven year old self.

In the second or third grade I wrote a book.

I decided with my recent occupational crisis it wouldn't hurt to revisit my childhood goals. Tomorrow, I am going to get back into training for the WNBA, which is the women's NBA (because at this point what have I got to lose) and I should probably start making those babies soon (Can I substitute babies for puppies? Puppies sound so much more fun.)

Two dogs: Check. (We'll see about the cats.) I might have to substitute the two cats for another dog or maybe a pig.

I'm going to have to ditch the chemist idea because I don't think I had discovered my dyslexic tendencies with numbers yet. It's safe to say that one isn't happening any time soon.

So, I guess the next step would be to gain ownership of at least one out of the five unnamed businesses that I am supposed to own. Oh, and I should probably get myself out of debt in order to beat Oprah on being the richest woman in the world (I'm almost there.) All in all I feel like I'm definitely on the right track. Considering I lived in Seattle and did my world traveling and saw all of the listed monuments...














I think I was a little bit ambitious. But my pessimistic classmate was quick to bring me back down to earth with his wise words, "Some things are possible, but not all." Thanks Alvin, wherever you are.

Heatwaves in our little 400ish sq ft dwelling were the worst. It was nearly impossible to keep it cool. The window AC unit and fans worked overtime and that just barely kept it bearable. The goal was just to make it through the hottest parts of the day - until the sun broke and started to set, there would be a slight late afternoon breeze - the cool, stillness of the night would be on it's way soon. Relief...  I loved our little 400ish sq ft dwelling more than humanly possible. And even though there were bees living in the wall and heatwaves felt like a literal sauna, I loved it. What I didn't like about it was cooking at any capacity when the weather was too hot. Because of it's size, the thought of turning on the stove or oven would have been literal torture. Pre-heating the tiny oven would immediately increase the inside temperature by a factual 1,000 degrees...  Summer of 2020. We were experiencing a global pandemic and a heatwave. Temps were well over 100 and quarantin...

LA, a love letter.

There are 3 views of the city that are my absolute favorite.  The first is on a corner across from LA Historic Park off of Spring Street. It also happens to be outside of our favorite place to drink beer on Friday nights. But the view of the Gold Line stop and the cityscape in the background is the best. It's just far enough away from DTLA to hear the slight hum of the city but close enough to feel the energy of late night commuters coming and going.  The second view is in the neighborhood behind Kenneth Hahn State Park. It's a view I didn't know existed until a few years ago but even when it's a little hazy, it never disappoints. On a clear day you can see the entirety of all the neighborhoods I love, you can see the lights from Dodger Stadium all the way to fireworks after events at the Rosebowl. You can hear the echo of children playing and softer booms from fireworks... The third view is a specific part of the 10 freeway. When you are driving east on the 10 through ...

Separation

Image
 After you send in a letter of resignation to a place of work, the word separation gets used a lot.  A separation of you and the place of business.   I guess to appropriately sum it up, that is the best way to describe it. I tried to figure out a more fitting word but couldn't seem to find one. In my particular scenario, it feels like an amicable break-up. A divorce of some sort because you both realize that your relationship was no longer serving you. You've grown, they've grown, and unfortunately that growth was apart from one another.  I think if we've all experienced anything over the last few years, one thing that a lot of people have done is a reprioritization of life things. The time we spend and who that time with spent is more important. If I've learned anything about myself recently, it's that I definitely did not have things prioritized in a way that was healthiest for me.  So, that's what I'm doing. Reprioritizing.  Reprioritizing and choos...
