There is a great Joseph Campbell quote where he says “you have to be prepared to set aside the life you had planned, for the one that awaits you.” I cherish that quote. The other day T and I were walking Loca and she said, “Don’t be wedded to an orange cat, because we might find a different one.” I laughed out loud as in one hand was a leash to a dog that fits no description of an animal I ever wanted – a B.A.D. dog that eats baseboards, chews my expensive bike shorts, and barks so much you have to spit on her to get her to stop and my other arm was wrapped around a bony, Croatian woman who speaks Spanish fluently and makes killer vodka tonics. Uh, I think I’m not one to hold onto an idea if another pleases me, I told her.
