So, as soon as I landed Thursday night, I meet one of my oldest (as in known the longest - not age - lol) clients for dinner. Of my clients….I have to say that his the first one I felt this instant connection with. One of the novels I have rolling around in my head has this piece in it..if I could just get it out of my head and onto paper just right…that is inspired by this moment with him.
I cannot express how much I needed that…. this leisurely meal after a really long couple of weeks of brutal travel…I appreciate his wiseness….one of the reasons we have kept in touch…because I like how intelligent folks just make me think more. I also truly appreciated the thoughtful conversation…..and frank feedback on where I am right this moment…where my work challenges are…and what I want out of life. And work. we talked about his work and my business plan for my company….and my desire to grow it this year…
We ate at one of my very favorite restaurants, a little bistro called “My Martini“. We ate at a leisurely pace as we chatted….had cocktails….appetizers (Crawfish Beignets)…and a couple of sushi rolls for dinner (their sister restaurant is Piranhas Killer Sushi). Then a fabulous chocolate martini after dinner….
It’s so weird. It was so nice to be fully…into myself. I don’t know how to better explain that….just that it was all of me…rolled into one….all of my compartments kind of open and blended together. I was honest, thoughtful, funny, mischievous and vulnerable….all in the same moments.
By the way….it goes back to my three little words…. sharing my passion for food that I love….and the passion of living in that I was spending time doing what I enjoyed…time with a friend…rather than just…..going home and doing nothing. Oh, and the ever present courage as well. It’s really hard to be all of me at one time.
