Cameo
A friend calls it my cameo. It’s when he’s with me, and we show up at an event for a mere twenty minute, and move on to the next activity - whether it’s dinner, a dance, or the next cameo.
He doesn’t know I’m just an advocate of ‘walking out.’
I don’t believe in staying when it just doesn’t work for you anymore. Whether it’s a movie, a book, or a relationship, you get to a point where the music becomes noise and the vision turns to illusion. When you start feeling dizzy, or nauseous or cold, I’ve learned that you only get sick when you stick it out.
Leave in the middle of a movie, stand up in the middle of a book, and stop reviving a relationship that was there but isn’t here.
Walk out. And move on.

Hey Carissa! As usual… brief and poignant… I love your style and all these life lessons you so eloquently share. Thanks for your wisdom. And congratulations. Thanks for not making just a cameo appearance Thursday night. Your smile in combination with the energy of the audience helped us create a memorable night.
