Postcard from North Carolina

Wow, it’s already been 2 weeks in the new digs. I just thought I’d post to let you know how Nicholas and I are doing. So far, so good. It’s pretty, peaceful and oh so quiet here. I’m renting the entire top floor of an old house which has windows in every room. Wherever I am, I see the sky, trees and the houses that are scattered around this one. This house also has a tin roof. I can’t begin to describe the magnificent lullaby passing bands of rain make when they fall upon it. When that happens, no matter what time of day it is, I make room for a nap, and sleep like a baby, thank you very much. There are also train tracks somewhere in the distance. The far off sound of train horns somehow adds to the quaintness of the place. On two mornings I’ve gotten up to discover thick patches of fog slowly rolling through. I love those.

The other day my dad pointed out a cherry tree to me. I had no idea that they had white leaves. It’s really nice to have the time to notice. Another type of tree called the Bradford pear tree has already stopped blooming since I’ve been here. It was a reminder of how quickly time passes and how important it is to seize the moments while they’re here. The email and phone calls from friends in LA and Denver remind me of how much I love these people and how lucky I am to have them in my life.

The shipment of nine pounds of coffee from the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf arrived yesterday. Feehw, the Foldgers thing was getting ugly. Hello, my name is Elizabeth, and I have a caffeine problem: I’m no longer in walking distance of a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Other than that, it’s all going pretty well. There’s a mountain of paperwork and work work piling up on my desk as I contemplate assembling the new desk chair, computer cart and bathroom shelf, let alone organizing 2008 tax receipts, yikes. But one thing at a time. I watched the most amazing movie the other night. It’s called “. The Five People You Meet in Heaven ” Maybe it was the dark Pisces moon, maybe all the transition of moving cross-country, but boy did I cry. I’m watching it again before sending it back to Netflix for sure.



Nicholas is doing well. He’s now completely on his up with me in the morning to pilfer butter, nap all day, get up to play and cuddle at night schedule. I think he’s forgiven me for the plane rides. We still miss Boris.

And before I have a chance to get bored with rural NC, I’ve already bought plane tickets for my first trip back to CA. I’m heading to San Diego to be at Hay House’s I Can Do It conference. It will be so good to see my work mates, best friend D., and boss Mark Husson give his first presentation there. His new book Lovescopes is coming out on April 15th. I’m so excited and happy for him, and grateful to work someplace where I love my boss, work and clients. So, it’s all happening so fast it seems. Still, I’ll take the time to notice the cherry trees.

With love,
Elizabeth
