Le Tango around the World!

Thanks to all of you who are wishing me well in my new adventures.  It is great to hear all the support for what it can seem at first a crazy decision!  But it seems that there is something in the air at the moment.  I have come accross many who are thinking about the same thing… maybe not as drastic as leaving everything and living from a suitcase, but change.  Going back to what is important and makes us happy!  I have met some of you who did the same thing a few years ago and told me that’s the best thing they could have done.  Some of you are doing it now, left their jobs, moved to another place and many of you will do it soon I am sure. 

When I saw what I had in my place after 12 years of being here in the states, I was wondering why I was keeping all that stuff.  The thing is that many things have a sentimental value that’s difficult to part from.  I brought little things from all my trips around the world and that makes it special…  I love my clothes and especially my tango shoes!! eh eh eh … some of you were asking me how many pairs of Comme il Faut I have… well, let’s just say that it is enough to fill out a big (big) suitcase!  But all of this has a story that is dear to me… I have been thinking how can I part with the material thing and still hold the memory…. So, because for me the visual will trigger more detailed memory, I have decided to take pictures of some of the things and will keep those pics… so when I look at them I’ll have the same trigger without having to keep the actual piece… and I’ll just have to travel with my small external harddrive! ….

I am off to Belgium now to spend a week with my family. They are quite happy I’ll be closer to them now.  12 years away was difficult for them, but they knew I needed to do it.  I’ll be closer to my little nieces and will be able to participate to more family parties, which are always good…  food, wine, laugh… I miss that.

be happy!
