Ghosts, Schmosts
So, on my way home tonight, I thought about whether I wanted to do an
updated post to blog. You see - I ran into the most recent Ghost-of-Halloween-Past. Yep, the Ex. Totally unexpected. Didn't
play out quite how I'd envisioned it. But then, I got home, and the first thing I did was log in to Yelp.com, one of the sites
I blog for about all things cool in Atlanta and . . . I got my first ever Review Of The Day!!!!!!!!
I can't tell you all how excited I am (um, perhaps the numerous exclamation
marks gave it away, though) - I'm on the home page! Of the whole company's site! Me! YAY! And for a review I particularly
liked myself. I've done so many - for Yelp, and Not For Tourists, and Chowbaby, that all of them aren't near-and-dear to me
- but this one . . . it was special. I had lunch with a very old friend I hadn't seen in more than a decade and it was so
much fun to see him and to write about both the lunch and the place, one I'd never been to before.
So, now you all have to go read my first ever Yelp Review Of The Day!
Right Now!

Running, Running Fast As You Can
Have you thought about it? What you are running to, or what you are running
away from right now? The dreams you are chasing or the person you want to be? The life you want to live, or the one you want
out of, perhaps desperately? Are you . . . searching, or working, or striving to make things happen? Do you know what it is
that you want - perhaps, finally, after years of being almost-there, or not-quite-right - and even if you can't quite verbalize
it, you know you're close, on the right track?
A lot of the above is how I feel, how I've felt in the past six months.
Because I have figured (and still am figuring!) a lot out about where I am going. And it feels so good, and is so exciting.
I am finally doing it! And "it" means different things. Chasing dreams. Being "happy." Not just in a cliched sense, but in
the you-really-do-only-get-one-life sense.
I read a quote today that spoke to me: "As soon as you trust yourself,
you will know how to live." (Goethe)
That's what I'm running toward, fast as I can. And I am on the right
path.
