In a coffee shop

Today has been a different kinda day and right now I’m sitting at a coffee shop without my headphones because I forgot them at home. I am wearing heels and I didn’t want to walk all the way back to my apartment. I told myself this was an opportunity to listen to my thoughts and the sounds around me and maybe help me write the way I want to write.

It’s easier to drown out all the noise when you’re focused on drowning out something so much louder. Being a mom has allowed me to hone this great skill of being able to zone all the noise out around me. 🙂

Anyway, back to my day. I did get up to meditate and then I went back to sleep! Even though I had all these plans for the next morning to be all successful and get a head start on my day, I choose to sleep. No lie I’ve been tired lately and I’ve been trying this no milk in my coffee thing and I hate it and it’s taken the sheer joy of going to the gym in the morning out of my day. I should probably just start adding milk to my coffee again and get over that I’ll always have a little bit of dairy in my body. 😛

I have to take my son to the dentist and then get back in time to drop him off and meet with our new financial advisors about our future. This weekend I’ll be fulfilling a life long dream of finally seeing the Golden Gate Bridge. As much as I wish my boy toy and son could come along, the other side of me feels this journey with my daughter is significant.

When I first started this journey to move here to the states, she was still in my stomach and I was just dreaming of the life I could have when moving to the states. Space Needle, Rocky Mountains, The White House, Golden Gate Bridge. Those were the places I wanted to see, the places I would visit when I moved here.

And so began our journey, and it always felt like it started with me and her against the world. She was my reason to keep on keeping on, my whole heart, tied to a tiny human.

It feels right to be able to experience this place with just her. I’m excited.

What else? I’ve been meaning to write so many things, but life has been so busy. I started my own business. Now I’m starting one with my best girlfriend and hopefully by summer we can launch and start making some sales. It’s going to be legendary, I can feel it.

This isn’t my typical blog post but I figured, why not just write something. Anything…with the little bit of time that I have while I sip my coffee with milk and see what comes out. Maybe I’ll do this more, just write what I feel. And feel what I write.

I think, I feel, I kinda like it.

Until next time…
