a week to remember. between various challenges within my MSW program to taking the red eye (still recovering) and preparing to leave for india, it's been an adventure!
the photos above are documentation of a very happy time with a beloved friend, beau, booksigning at emergency arts, and a tour of zappos in vegas on monday.
days have become blurs and i laugh that i used to think time was crunched. now it is smashed. literally. my desk/kitchen table has become a catch all for internship keys and paperwork, school books, TranquiliT orders to ship, mail, bills, thank you cards, meeting notes, planner pad, india paperwork, tranquil space foundation to-do folders and ideas, agendas for upcoming meetings, and financial docs to fill out for my accountant. i had to clear the way for a tranquil space foundation meeting chez moi on wednesday and i simply piled it all onto a chair. somehow, it felt better that way. ahhh, space.
as i count down the days to india, finalize a paper for school, and prep for a visit by mama wilson (joining moi on the india journey), i feel grateful to have the opportunity to sit down and write today. so cathartic and feels like a connection despite never really knowing who is at the other end of the blog. thank you for reading!
