Lovely Sunday
Southern California Sunday morning....beautiful. I'm pretty much an early morning person. This morning I sat out on my back porch sending off emails on my iPad, drinking coffee and enjoying my sweet doggy on my lap. The neighborhood is quiet with just the sounds of the birds chirping.
Soon my neighbors will be up. I'll hear the sounds of kids playing and the music from my next door neighbor's teenagers. (good thing they like decent music!)
Sunday's are just lovely days.

Always and forever
It is one of those days. Those that make you grateful for what you have, and remember with mixed emotions, those beautiful people who have passed from this life to the next.
It is Father's Day.
It was nice to see so many of my friends on Facebook take a moment to celebrate the Dads, husbands and brothers in their lives. As did I. However, I was one of a few friends who's post was to honor our Dads who have passed away.
The other night some family friends stopped by my place. We stood together looking at the wall of photos in my living room. Among the many photos hanging there are those with my Dad in them. They remarked that it was so difficult to grasp that he had passed away. To them he was still so present. As though at any moment he would be walking in the door having just returned from a ride on his Victory motorcycle. I told them my mom and I feel the same way. He's just out having coffee with my Uncle Tony, or he is off on a ride. We will soon get a text from him telling us when he will be home. I think that is why my mom and I never use the word gone when referring to my Dad's death. He is with us still. Maybe it is because he was so big in life that his memory has a way continuing to fill space.
I have to tell you, he is one of the most handsome men you've ever seen. He is one of those manly, rugged type of man's man. He is movie star handsome. A striking man who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Clint Eastwood and Tom Selleck. And my Dad was a people person. He enjoyed talking with people, and getting to know them. I'm not sure he ever met a stranger. People were drawn to my Dad. He had that charisma. When he walked in a room everyone knew he was there, but not for any reason other than he had a way of filling a room. A disarming smile and sparkling green eyes. And he had this scar above his left eye from going through the windshield of a corvette at the age of 17. The scar begins above his eye and curves up into his hairline. Somehow it just added to his good looks.
I was his only child. His Goog. A nickname I earned as a baby because my eyes were so big. And it was what he called me until he passed away. I have vivid memories of so many times and so many places when he would look and me and in a quiet low voice say, "I love you".
So it was no surprise today while I sat at the computer reading my friends posts about their fathers, that when I looked over to my right I heard those familiar words again from him.
I know Daddy, I love you too.

Nice work if you can get it!
As I mentioned in my Change! post, the challenge of pursuing my handbag designing full-time is a little daunting. A big help is you all have been so incredibly supportive and encouraging (especially my Burnham family peeps!!) of my following a new path.
I knew my choice would require a much leaner lifestyle and I made my peace with that prior to resigning my job. (I won't say goodbye Nordies, I'll just say see ya soon!) Starbucks has been replaced with a cup of joe from Mom's Cafe/Doggie Daycare. My pretty girl Allie, (my car) now sits in the garage while I drive my Dad's little green jeep. And Mecca, (aka, The Home Goods Store) is now Saturday morning garage sale hopping with my mom.
So it was a HUGE surprise to hear (through a very lovely friend) that a previous boss of mine had heard I no longer worked down in San Diego and wanted to talk to me about working for him again. I had worked for him right after I finished college. He and his wife design and build high-end custom homes. He has a side business as a glass blower, she as an artist, and he has a brand new company making and selling paddle boards. They needed someone in the office part-time to pay the bills, manage the fund accounts for the custom homes, take care of their rental properties and basically do whatever was needed to keep everything flowing. I would be able to set my own hours and days, come and go at my discretion and they understood my bags were my primary focus.
So I have a part-time job! 5 minutes from my house. (all back roads!) I work for a really cool couple. (Did I mention that the office is part of their amazing custom home?) And a little of the "pay-the-bills" pressure has been alleviated.
Nice work if you can get it!
