TOO MUCH ON MY PLATE
About Renée Finberg
I have been in this business since the age of 22.
I love what I do and cannot imagine my life without Design.
Design Challenges are great.
And because of those challenges
I have imported fine antique pieces from Paris,
Designed and Manufactured Furniture,
Created Fantastic Window Treatments,
And solved all kinds of spatial & architectural issues
With my unique style.
If I can't find it, I create it.
My rooms would make excellent movie sets.
I am a visual, tactile and audio sensitive individual.
Creating is what I live for, not math, not spelling, not science.
Just Great Design.
Just imagine how it would be if each of us,
If only for a few hours of everyday,We could be in a space that is our very own.A place that is exactly the way we want it to be
Surrounded by all the things we wanted to see,
The atmosphere we wanted feel, smell and the sound we wanted to listen to.

Hi, Renee,
ReplyDeleteSome days are racers; and some are plodders.
Hang in there.
Cheers,
Jeanette
Well hey, your attitude seems great despite everything! I hope today brings some good news for you and some settled business. Stay warm and best of luck with the job search! Anyone would be lucky to have you it seems, but maybe they don't know you yet! Build those relationships around you and referrals will happen.

Stay strong Renee and everything will fall into place soon. Try to take this time to explore and take a slower pace. Trust me I know how difficult that is!!

Hang in there, sweet friend. Everything is going to be better!
ReplyDeleteYou are going through so much. You will just have to take one thing at the town. Don't overwhelm yourself.
Keep us posted. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Message me on fb if you need to blow off steam!
Happy Thursday, Renee.

Just think of it all as one great adventure then the not so nice things won't seem so bad !! I love living in the UK and enjoying all of the seasons although none of them are extreme here. Hope all of your things arrive soon Renée as I can't wait to see photos. Moving is always a hassle whatever the circumstances but everything will slot into place before you know it. Much love. XXXX
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe you're there!
ReplyDeleteStay warm. Wish I was there to help you unpack.
xo xo
Well and happy this side of the pond Renee. I can't believe you are still going through so much shit, you must have been diabolical in a previous life. There will be light at the end of your very long tunnel. Then you can sit back and laugh! One day :-)

D,
Deletei am sure you are right about my past lives.........
i must have been a BAD BAD GIRL (or man)

Renee, sending warm thoughts for peace and prosperity your way in all things unsettling right now. Challenging times for you right now, but I have an idea you will see them through with grace. My best as always ~ Tina
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you are in Maine now Just take your time, everything will come together. No need to stress over everything, it will just make you crazy. Hope you get settled soon and start to relax in your new home!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. Yes you can.....
ReplyDeleteAll the best
I so relate to you Renee, i would be a ball of nerves and anxiety in your shoes. You are amazingly strong to deal with realtors, lawyers, drastic changes in your life. I really admire that in you and your endless sense of humor. I live my life one day at the time.. I go to sleep totally stressed, riddled with fear, a few hours of sleep and I face the next day. I sometimes have the fantasy of living in Maine. As you may have read by now, Maine is one place in this world that brings me joy, calm and peace. I envision a life of reading by the fire, listening to music, long walks, writing... I will just have to come and visit and share notes once all this mess is behind you. Did you ever think of writing "a common place book"? you have such a great talent and a fabulous sense of humor. In our days of self publishing, you could entertain your readers with stories of your daily or fantasy life!
ReplyDeleteF,
Deleteit is a comfort to not feel alone in the 'anxiety and fear box'
and yes, i have wanted to write a book forever but am not confident enough at the moment to do so.
but....
i should just try.
thank you for your support.
and the thought of seeing you in maine is exciting!!!
let's do it when i am settled.

Ok...you need a cup of lobster chowdah....some of those little round crackers...and a STIFF martini! It will all come together. House selling...arrrrggghhhhh!
ReplyDeleteLotsa love to you up there!
linda...........
Deletethank you.....i do need some lobsta' chowda'!!!!
i am eating chowda most days....
all kinds.
i am freezing my patoodies off
xox
So sorry to hear you're dealing with these stressful moments. I'll keep you in my prayers - I have a feeling that 2013 will be a good year for you!
ReplyDeleteNothing one of those great lobster rolls and breath of that beautiful sea breeze won't handle! Camden is one of the most beautiful towns in the universe...good for you for making the move...we will all just wish it were us!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could pull out of my pocket a list of wise words and antidotes to get you through these tough days. I'm an example that things do work out even when the glass is half full. It does help when that glass has gin in it however. I keep telling myself that I don't miss the stifling heat of TX, I'm still not listening to myself but one of these days I'll get my act together. That fabulous salt air I swear will clear all the bad vibes from all those bad people clean out of your mind.
ReplyDeleteI too am proud of you Renee. Wishing you & Yvonne a happy Thanksgiving. xx Deb

Deletei wish you all the best too.

mom sends her love as i do!

yes, lobster rolls and a cocktail with the cooling sea breezes and the scent of pine.
ReplyDeleteyep banks do tend to be very very bad!
soon, i hope for you renee, all will be complete

I was wondering how you were doing. Most bankers are bad people. I still hate the cold in New Jersey and it has been almost 15 years. I tell everyone, I'm just passing through....it's a 25 year layover. I think you will need to think outside the tiny town for employment. Email me if you want to brainstorm. 2013 will be a better year.....I know, that doesn't help you right now. I have found that giving myself a set amount of time each day to feel bad or vent helps let it out. Then, you must have more than double that amount of time taking action. Alcohol and a crock-pot also helps.
ReplyDeleteRenee,
ReplyDeleteThere are no words for things like this, except, "this too shall pass" and "whatever does not kill us will make us stronger."
I had a year like that two years ago, husband lost job, Nor'Easter destroyed part of the house, ceiling fell in, had to move out of house, dog got sick, husbands former employer sued us, and so much more. All in 6 weeks. I was so sick of my life I could not stand it!
I know that hings are going to work out for you, most importantly you are with your mom, starting a new and exciting life and moving into a new life. Your will survive, you are a strong, intelligent woman.
Prayers that your life finds a new normal soon! Happy Thanksgiving!
Elizabeth
Renee,
ReplyDeleteBeing thankful in the most uncomfortable and untimely situations will break a way for the good to stick around that much longer. So smile, stay calm and be thankful for the discomfort of a current situation. This too shall pass...Happy Thanksgiving to you and Mum.
Blessings sweet one the best is yet to come. Are u ready?
Bette
Thinking of you this Thanksgiving Rene, and I hope and pray you are feeling thankful and that you're at peace today. Love to you.
