“You Must Move Through the World in a Way that Enchants You!”

I was flying from LAX to Boston recently, and I was worn out and so tired I considered wearing my sweats on the plane.

“I just want to be incognito,” I said to my friend Cristie.

She said “Incognito from who?”

I said, “Myself!”

But then common sense swooped in and said, “Absolutely not! You must dress for travel! You must move through the world in a way that enchants you!”

So I rallied, wearing a comfortable sundress, and a garden on my head, which I started doing when I couldn’t fit all my hair accessories in my carry on without crushing them, so I stuck them all on my head and forgot about them, but the world greeted me with such warm endearing delight, like I was their eccentric Aunt Tilly bringing them warm chocolate chip cookies, that I decided flower crowns would become a staple of my daily style.

The world is a softer more beautiful place when people smile and shout cheerful comments across airports.

So I settled into my non-enchanting non-reclining seat in the exit row, and a pretty young airline attendant tapped me on the shoulder with a big smile, “I’m sorry to bother you, but are you that lady from Girls Love Travel? The one who writes the stories?”

“Yes I am,” I said, and we talked, and then the other airline attendants joined her, and it made the long flight feel like… well… eating a plate of warm gooey chocolate chip cookies. (Now I’m just making myself hungry.)

So it’s 7am, and here I am at the Boston airport heading out on another adventure in my incognito travel style…

I lie here on my pink puffy bed in my pink silky pajamas, or pink flannel depending on my mood (the only thing you can bank on is that there will be chocolate smeared somewhere on my attire), with my pink feathered pen, writing my most delicious daydreams. Funny? Sometimes. Scandalous? Hopefully. Inspiring? Perhaps. Full of love? Always. Welcome to my World.
