The House of Beautiful Business: A Poem

November 20, 2018 By Caroline Trudeau 2 Comments

Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

In Las Vegas, a meaningful conversation under the January sun.
A book recommendation that should be for everyone.
Voluminous research and following ensued.
The commitment to an event I was sure would be soul food.

Travel was less journey, more destination.
Now in Lisbon, meeting a kindred-spirit, my first action.
Recounting stories of what carried us here.
Presence and authenticity all the while bringing us cheer.

A bit overwhelmed by the choices to make.
Mystery was the best step to take.
Quickly succumbing to being lost in getting lost.
Words and emotions of gathering artfully aloft.

In a beautiful space, presented with prose and romantic propositions.
Discovering, all around, intellectual curiosity, honestly.
No longer feeling as if asking for permission.
Magically realizing one more human belongs, boldly.

It’s me.

Music, photography, art and stories.
All around me, arming my dreams.
We chose courage, compassion and curiosity over complexities.
Willing to experience, and all that humanity means.

Slightly hung over, contemplating human and machine.
Creating companionship cooperatively.
Stepping outside to find intimacy.
Toasting to winning and everything in between.

Thoughts of mission invade my being.
What if we never had to explain.
And everyone brought their version of agreeing.
Intimacy could then completely reign.

Looking ahead at integrating the beauty.
These connected brains connecting the world.
I can’t unlearn, my voice is my duty.
Convinced I’ll rearrange the ideas I’ve twirled.

Now in the wild, it all makes much sense.
That all of this time, I’ve been preparing to commence.
I see the beauty of the house that I’ve built.
And promise to nurture it, without any guilt.

The @glossoverpodcast is back! In our come back ep The @glossoverpodcast is back!
In our come back episode (#80), @fleurtmeaghan and I talk about what we were up to during our 2020 hiatus. 

For me, it was about slowing down, getting clarity about myself, realizing how few things are actually worthy of my energy and about resting and healing post back surgery. 

We are on The Voices Collection and everywhere you consume your podcasts. 

What was your #2020 #hiatus like?

Introducing The Dance Floor @ #Club1670. It is a Introducing The Dance Floor @ #Club1670. 

It is a project a very long time in the making. I had a suspicion I would eventually replace the carpet when at 27 years old, I set my mind (and all my savings) on winning the real estate bidding war on #300. 

I had no idea it would take me 17 years, 5 dogs, several Friendsgivings, countless parties, 6 jobs, a global pandemic and all the beautiful messes we made along the way to get here. 

I wanted to bring #Europe to #Reston with a herringbone wood floor. Then, I realized the impracticality and rarity of this gorgeous craft in #America. It made no sense to invest in it for The Club. 

Finally, it was this engineered wood called Seaside I selected. I knew I made the right decision when I turned the sample around and saw its country of origin: #Germany 🖤❤️💛. 

It’s even better than I had imagined. 

You are invited. Bring your favorite socks and dance jam.  #letsdance
I’m so pumped to attend #CES2021! I can’t wai I’m so pumped to attend #CES2021!  I can’t wait to see how @cta bridges this annual physical gathering into an all-digital mega-event. I’m interested in soooo many topics this year, and I’m prioritizing my beloved #automotive and #mobility industry 🖤❤️💛
Who else is going?!
