TMB: Missing Munich

December 31, 2019 By Caroline Trudeau 2 Comments

Nostalgia for Germany

Reading Time: < 1 minute

I am having massive FOMO. My BFF and Gloss Over podcast co-host, Meaghan Whalen is in Munich, vacationing, closing out 2019 and celebrating the coming of a new decade. I’ve been seeing her posts on social media, giving her recommendations for places to dine at and visit, and I see her car parked in my condo every single day. I was supposed to be there with her.

And I am also missing out on invites from new, dear friends in my favorite city: a ski trip to Austria, a weekend in Berlin, NYE in the Black Forest, an American dinner in Schwabing, my AirBnb, a train trip to quaint Freising, meeting a brand new human… And all the beautiful places I am dying to put my eyes on.

But I made the decision to delay my trip until the spring intentionally: to close out 2019 focused on wrapping up my 2020 plans at Slalom DC and show up on Thursday ready to execute. Most importantly though, to focus on my personal goals and get really clear about how I actually make my way back to Munich.

My vision hasn’t changed: I live and work in Europe, precisely in Munich. But like I said before, you have to remember precisely where you have been and stay where you are to get to where you want to be.

So I am staying, just a little bit long.

But I’ll be back Munich. Wait for me! I’ll see you in 2020.

    München misses you! Being boss takes restraint and discipline. You’ve shown both. Like a boss. And hey, maybe I’ll tag along in the spring so we can do thing thing right.

    K?
    Ich liebe dich.
    Tschüss!

It’s the final day for Love, on European Tour.

At dinner in Soho, Oxana gifted me with an unimaginably beautiful gift: #art. Her own. 

It’s me. And it’s about this quest I’ve been on for the last year: to find Love, at Work. 

I’m deeply touched and eternally grateful. And headed for home with my heart full. 

And eager for the next cycle of work.
