Now I am accountable to my blog readers as well as my coach to commit 20 free-spirited acts by Sunday evening. It takes a lot of energy to keep this up. I'm sure this is a test of how free-spirited you can be with your free-spirit.
Here are today's:
8. Awakened at the crack of down to be the first on line to get my bike serviced at the first-come-first-served bike shop in our neighborhood.
9. Smiled at the people already waiting outside the shop when I arrived (very not British to smile at strangers).
10. Purged stuff I no longer need in preparation for move back to the States.
11. Set out to find a piece of art that reminded me of the UK when I'm back in the States.
12. Immediately found a piece that spoke directly to my dream of having a cozy farm cottage with a fireplace, books, nicknacks and a cat like
Tika.
13. Purchased the artwork "Interior, Manor Farm" by
Howard Phipps, wood engraving, 1991 (pictured above) from the
Rowley Gallery.
14. Contemplated setting up a bi-coastal, multi-national consulting practice.
I didn't include hosting the weekly yoga class out my flat since I do this every week. But may need to pull that in if I'm having a hard time finishing up the last six tomorrow.
When I went off to London she moved in with my mom, dad and grammie in Connecticut. She has become Grammie's companion these past few years. 
Please think good wishes for Tika as she goes to kitty heaven with unlimited wet cat food, endless supplies of cat nip and lots of Grammie love.
