I skipped two meals– why? There is so much going on that I just simply don’t have time for basic necessities. Finally at 6:30 I went to Sushi Samba. It’s a Japanese-Brazillian restaurant. The food was fabulously different. I really enjoyed it. My entree was some kind of paella. I kept pulling out strange, little, whole, sea creatures from the buttery broth. There were tiny squids, crawfish, shrimp, etc. Some I ate, some I hid under clam shells. I really wanted to order a Kirin Ichiban but my dining partner ordered a diet coke and I felt odd ordering alcohol so I also ordered a diet coke.

This morning was my presentation to the management team on the new department. It went well. As I stood in front of the room, all eyes on me, I realized that I wasn’t one bit nervous. I felt free and in my ZONE. It was a great mini-moment.
