Toronto feeling like home

The whir of the streetcar is starting to feel like home, as is the cold and the bundling up in layers. Given the racial make-up of many other Canadians on the street, at times I feel like I am in Europe, during the winter. The neat thing is, there is also significant Asian representation. There is no place like Canada.

Of course having fantastic friends, and the vegetarian Korean food at Kensington near Spadina helps. Even the simplest of things, such as seeing a familiar face, launch very deep feelings of gratitude. This may have been the first day, since I arrived, that I did not see a face that reminded me of a colleague or friend back in the Cayman Islands.

That said, I came across a newpaper clipping of the department and my staff and I felt a profound feeling of missing them.

The meeting today with a likely new boss, at my existing company, went very well, even better than my expectations. All this trusting the universe and the energy and integrity we put into it, can, at times, feel like scary business. I trusted that the 20 + articles I had read on the industry, may at least help me to be conversant during the meeting. As I was speaking with a very knowledgeable, courteous, pleasant and professional individual, the meeting felt very relaxed and 'on target.'

Once I am working full-time, I know that I will truly start feeling "at home."

Of course living in my new 'wellness' home with all my wellness technologies will also help. That is, I am truly looking forward to my belongings arriving.

A great work-out early tomorrow morning, along with further discussions with human resources, will create a highly effective, and enjoyable day.
