Recently, this came forward in a coaching group I was leading and the participants all had a different idea of what this meant to them. Me too. I find that my heart feels differently wherever I am. SANTA MONICA I LOVE my home in Santa Monica, and that love has grown and grown over the years I have lived there. This was my first, solo apartment -the one I lived in on my own.

July 15, 2010 was the day I rescued Sammy (OR, did he rescue me???) from the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter. So, I consider this day his birthday. I had seen Sammy for the first time about two weeks before July 15. This was after perusing the shelter for dogs for almost 2 years! Yes, in this case, patience paid off. Sammy was in the Big Dog Area of the shelter. I can't imagine why, as he only weighed 13 pounds at the time. So, there he was, caged between a...]]></description><link>https://www.lynnnovatt.com/post/this-one-s-for-sammy</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f39b09c99eb1cb510b944f</guid><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jul 2019 06:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/205a86_122117eb03e7498ab72747608d0389c7~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Lynn Novatt</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lovely Ljubljana]]></title><description><![CDATA[When people from Ljubljana find out I've been here for a while and that I'm planning to stay for seven weeks, they shake their heads in amazement and say, "Ljubljana is so small." They always say the same thing. It's true. Every single person. I know Ljubljana is small. Maybe that's why I love this capital city so much. I can walk from one end to the other in 15 -  20 minutes. And, if I'm on a bike - cut that time in half. I guess the people who live here, crave the big city life.

But, what I'd really like to see is a T-shirt that says, "I'm an Airbnb Kind of Girl" Where the heck is that offering? Because, I am an Airbnb kind of girl. If anyone knows me, they know, I've been patronizing Airbnb, maybe from the beginning. Certainly before any of my friends.

One thing that has always touched me and that I've always remembered are the "sayings" of other people and their cultures. For example, the time I traveled through Australia - by myself, shall I note, when I was in my 30's. Yikes! Anyway, back to the sayings - in Australia, everyone says, "No worries." Australia is fairly laid back, their people wonderful and strong and healthy and blond and...]]></description><link>https://www.lynnnovatt.com/post/blog-post-title-1</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68f011b4dc53558cd046c9af</guid><pubDate>Fri, 14 Jul 2017 21:43:51 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/205a86_23d5c3bb56ff47d385ed4236cad05caf~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Lynn Novatt</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA["Well Done, Sammy!"]]></title><description><![CDATA["Nobody would believe me if I told them," said Angela, referring to the amazing intellect of my eight year old Poochi (Poodle Chihuahua mix), Sammy. This statement made after Sammy did his business, which included the use of a poopie bag, right next to a garage can in the city of Maribor, Slovenia.

Of course, I did some research. I found out that that's where Sammy really needed a muzzle. On the water taxis, ferries, etc.,  The internet said, "Muzzles required." Also, I was wondering what it would be like bringing Sammy into Italy from Slovenia. I'm glad to say that crossing borders are no problem these days.
