If you haven't heard, it's because I don't have a mouth. It was cut off in a photograph.
I kid.
It's Thursday morning in Brooklyn. Sitting to start the day, I was thinking on the prospects of what is happening and thought it should almost seem like I'm walking around with my head cut off. If you haven't heard, my Dallas-winds are changing. In logical rites, I think I should be running around like that chicken lovingly handled by Aunt Gloria at the barn, just prior to execution; but in fact, I'm really quite calm.
How do you box up a life? Where does the stuff go? And not just scarves and wood spoons and old-ball socks — where does the emotion go when your home is split in two?
Do you know what is crazy amazing? Mom, Amy and Annabelle are coming to NY... today. Right in the midst of a whirlwind of change for Dallas. Call it divine, call it fate, call it too-cool-for-words, but I offered up several prayers of thanks for this little nod from Heaven.
If I'm offered and take the job in NY, it's with a communications firm (a modern day ad agency); if I don't get the offer, I'll still look into another offer in Boston being a Youth and Family Support Worker. That means, I'm not a licensed therapist, but I would be working with social workers and art therapists assisting individuals and families in need of help. My heart that loves causes and the betterment of the human condition is leaning heavily in that direction.
So, the next week will prove interesting, in any case. And not as bloody as one would think, especially having your head cut off while swinging on life's swings.
I kid.

Yes, I felt it was truly a blessing to have had this weekend work out so beautifully for Dallas, Amy, Annabelle and me. It was a totally wonderful few days together on the run. I and DO mean run. Our feet walked more miles than I can calculate. Wished we had worn our pedometers for proof. Oh well,my sore toes are proof. I might take a photo of my right little piggie. He is hating life, but will heal. Dallas was the best guide!!! I highly recommend a weekend in NYC with Dallas as one of the best get-a-ways you could do! NY isn't all Manhattan that is for sure! We loved Brooklyn! Loved the West Side, sorry we didn't see Queens. Mary Poppins was amazing. Weather was brisk and chilly, then nice for a few minutes, then raining, then ice cold, then nice and sunny cold. We had it all. Love the convenience of the subways, but couldn't have done it without Dallas knowing where we were going and how to get their quickly. Buckets full of Thanks to Dallas for making our weekend so very wonderful!
Loved this Dallas! I too am amazed at the timing of this trip and how it collided with you! I am sure it was divine intervention! We had THE BEST TIME with you! Next time I go to New York, (which may be in about 6 months) :) Whether you live there or not and and having you come and show me around some more!!!!! XOXOXOXO
