Emily Ferguson… This is Not a Blog!

Yesterday, I ate lunch with Emily Ferguson. She’s my good gal friend, complete with soft curly hair and a smile to match…. I had a blast!!

Somehow, between meetings and to do lists, we intentionally created a blissful picnic-complete with beach towels, sushi, Green & Blacks 70% dark chocolate and Swedish meatballs.  Authentically, we bounced life’s questions and revelations off each other. No judgment, just laughter. Then it hit me. It’s August…AUGUST…what on earth happened to January and April…JULY for that matter???

For years, I convinced myself my life would be best played out as a commodity investor. Sharp suits, competitive colleagues, lots of adoration and cold, hard CA$H!! Truth be told, the fear of poverty was driving me.

Now I’m “blogging”….as a songwriter….about a picnic, I’m enjoying with Emily…Thank God I’m not investing anymore.

I told Emily, if I had it my way, I’d be traveling and writing and singing and sharing myself with the world. Wisely she responds- in that sweet, gentle, matter of fact tone that one loves to hate- “You should travel and write a blog on your website.”

“WHAT”?!?! My inner diva shouts.

“Listen. Emily. It’s not that simple, m’kay. I can’t just start traveling…and….and…‘blogging’. I’m an adult. I have responsibilities. One needs a lot more money to travel and even more courage to blog. What will people think...hmm? What will people say…huh…have you thought about that?”

Before I could deliver my solid case to her, she offered me some more chocolate…*sigh*…. I Got Nothing.

So, welcome to my world, my expression; a clear place to respectfully share and grow in. It’s for you, it’s for me, it’s for the whole entire family…E.I.E.I.O.

But please for the love of all things precious and desired…RESPECT MY GANGSTA and do NOT call this a BLOG….Lol!!!
