I’m wondering if you would be so kind as to offer travel tips in terms of packing for two weeks or longer.
I am an accountant for a major oil company and have been traveling on a monthly rotational basis. So far, I’ve made two trips and will be leaving again January 12. I am at a loss as to how to pack lightly and smartly. This one aspect of my travel is driving me crazy because I know I’m highly intelligent but I can’t seem to get a good system going. You have no idea how long it takes for me to get packed. I swear I’m making a career out of it. Anyway, I gather from your blog that you like to look great at all times, so I’d love to know how you manage to pack all the essential items without packing the entire closet. Any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated.
Listen
I am alone at a crossroads
I’m not at home in my own home
And I’ve tried and tried to say what’s on my mind
You should have known
Oh now I’m done believing you
You don’t know what I’m feeling
I’m more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I’ve got to find my own
This is a powerful song….ignore who’s singing it and the lackluster video. Listen to the message. Right now I feel like I am at that same crossroads as Deena….alone. Not without friends or family but at a place where only I can make a decision. Things will only affect me at this point and I’m not sure which direction I want to go in. Without knowing which direction to go in I’m not even sure what decision is the right decision.
On top of all of that, last week someone put me in a position of not being comfortable in my home home. I had someone in my life projecting their own demonic issues and expectations onto me. For 2 days I had no peace.
Now wait just a damn minute. They tell me that the only two places a person can have peace is in the grave and in their home. I’m not planning on dying any time soon so it looks like I need some peace at home. Looks like life is just going to have to be okay without me living up to your expectations.
You knew that I wouldn’t ignore this story when you saw it. I felt so much love, pride, and challenge from reading this that I actually cried. Love and pride at the wonderful gift Oprah has given these young girls and challenge to some way contribute to their quality of living as well.
Go read the article…look at those girls in their sharp green blazers and tell me your heart doesn’t swell.
