Fully Present for Milestones

As prayers and contributions go our to our fellow human beings  in the wake of hurricanes Harvey and now Irma and the 8 plus earthquake in Mexico,  my immediate focus is on being present with one of my daughters.  And yes, I finally contributed to the Red Cross for Harvey and will likely contribute again this week to assist with helping these new victims.

I’m blessed to be informed and sometimes included in the important  milestones in the lives of my adult children.  This weekend is one of those times and so I will pause from my blog today to be fully present as I participate in my business owner daughter’s (Nicole) move into her first official office space for FireStarter Entertainment  in the upscale Warner Center in Woodland Hills, California.

Most people don’t know that long ago I earned a certificate in interior design and worked as a designer. ‘ But my family and close friends know.  For them, I work for meals. And yesterday I got paid at the Ikea Cafeteria for lunch and  Cheesecake Factory for a very late dinner at about 9pm.  Not sure what I have a taste for today, but I have another full day of helping to create a beautiful and functional office space for her agents and clients to enjoy.

I hope you’ll excuse me for this week and instead enjoy one of my previous posts.  I get to be fully present at one of those rare milestones in my daughter’s life and I don’t want to miss a thing.
