Oy with the poodles...





Everytime I feel the need to refocus I think of fall, and fall makes me think of Gilmore Girls...

I grew up watching Gilmore Girls. The first time I heard of Gilmore Girls I remember I was going thru my little rebellious stage in which I decided to go live with my aunt for 3 months and my cousins kept talking about it. I was going thru the stage in which I didn't like anything or anyone so hearing the name " Gilmore Girls" stayed in my mind, but of course I wasn't going to admit that my cousins were the one's that introduced the show to me. So I was not gonna watch it!(not yet) Yeah, this girl is annoyingly stubborn.

So you might be asking, when and where did you decide to finally watch Gilmore Girls? It was during my first months in England, when I was trying to focus on my new life in England, when I was excited about this new life in a new country in which I had been wanting to live for so long. I was scared, scared of all the unknown, and it was then I heard the song..." Where you lead, I will follow..." the song to the intro felt all too familiar. Then I saw Rory and Lorelai and the very handsome Dean, well care to say I was hooked. The show spoke to me, and it also gave me comfort, a comfort I relate to fall. And since then this show has been related to many milestones and when I feel like life is a bit challenging then I turn to this show. I have not gone to the extreme of naming any of my kids Rory or things like that...yet I do have a Logan, and yes, my favorite character in the show was Logan. He was rebellious, a snob, yet smart, and ambitious, and a bit of a douche, it's funny how I still find him rather cool. And yep, my second son's name is Logan and he is a bit of a cool brat, but hey I'm not complaining, all kids are their own person, but I guess the name Logan does kind of follow a persona!

Whilst I sit here I have my own time now, the kids are in bed and I have turned all my social media off again, which will remain turned off again for a few days. I need to focus on new things right now, new opportunities and new challenges. So I will finish this post watch a bit of Gilmore Girls and just don't think about anything else, let it guide me once again, let it speak to me and then I can concentrate on which path we will go to next.

By the time most of you read this it will probably be September 1st....Yes...the fall will now start!!! :D
