Dear Louis.......

If it's real.....Handle it !!

Get over yourself !!

I had a post yesterday that was suggested ....

I might want to remove.

Who ME ???

I am selling my house in Maine and 

'Oh Well' 

I am not happy with a buyer or two.

And posted it.

Like I said;

"Oh Well!!"

When have I ever been censored....??

or allowed myself to be censored ??

Like....NEVER.

So TRUE

So TRUE.

I like to be told the truth.

It initially may make me weak

but 

will only make me stronger..

YES.

Being 

Fearless & Authentic 

has been something I have tried to live with,

and live by.

I am so tired of Fakes And Cowards.

This Is Sucking The Life Out Of Me

Buyers are sucking the life out of me !!!

I am selling a house in Maine (hahahaha).

That in itself is a joke.

We have rebuilt a classic cottage in Rockland Maine.....

We have rebuilt it from the bottom up.

New windows - new HUGE windows,

new kitchen, new floors,all new walls (insulation)

(Not to mention 90K invested)

It was so cold when we first moved here.

That was because the sub-zero winter winds were blowing right through the walls.

Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, it goes on and on.

NO MORE.

IT IS A NEW HOUSE. 

It is F#cking Gorgeous !!!

The buyers 

don't need to be unbelievably demanding !

OH.....

BUT THEY ARE !!!

I could tell you stories.....

I actually had someone ( a woman)

write me a sad sack letter who wanted to buy the house because 

she ONLY had 80k in cash.

Newly divorced.....

a dog.......

No Kids.

Are you F@cking kidding me ????

I don't know the last time I had 80K after a divorce.

Actually, I don't know many people with 80K cash on hand.

When I got divorced WITH A CHILD (4 ys old)

I had ZIP. 

NOTHING !!!!

I had to pay my EX 30K just to stay in my house.

Call me crazy but 80K can buy you a lot of mortgage.

Am I Right ????

I am just thinking of heading SOUTH.

Timing is the issue, 

and that has me by the 'Cha Cha's'

I feel beat up and exhausted.

Believe me I am....

And I am one of those fragile souls.

It took me a life time to find that out.

I always thought I was tougher than I really am. 

One thing I have learned is this.....

Panic attack ?????

Jump in the shower and wash your hair.

You Will Be Alright !!!

It Is Magic !!!

Trust Me !!!

Linear Kitchens

I love this look.

I want a table that is extended and attached to the kitchen.

It is so sharp !! 

Do you not love the cement floor ??

Or at least appreciate it ?

There is so much more here.

This Is What I Miss And What I Will Not Regret Leaving

                                         

I miss Palm Beach Design.

I miss Palm Beach.

I mean just look at the ocean...everything.

It is paradise.

 

This is not what I will regret leaving.

I am so done..........! 

Right now I am in the middle of a windy crazy snow storm.

A BLIZZARD. 

Yikes.

 

Skidding around is not my idea of a good time.

I am curious....

Is it yours ?

 

I mean seriously....

this is no way to live.

The poor baby dogs !!!!

 

But then there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

And it looks like this !

YES !!!

 

I am heading home and can barely stand the excitement. 

Everything is done.

The condo.

The Mortgage.

The movers....

Everything !

Free At Last !!!

Nor' Easter In Maine - I Can't Take This Anymore !

 

This is like living in a mini hurricane during winter.

 

It's crazy.

But it is dramatic and beautiful in it's own way.

 

Again...CRAZY. 

I am from NYC & Miami Beach.

This is amazing.

FUN - NO, IT'S NOT.

 

The streets are treacherous.

 

I must say to someone from my background....

this is beautiful.

BUT

It causes electric outages all over the place.

Which is no fun !!!!!!!!!!!

                                         

 

See what I mean.....

it is pretty.

 

Let's just talk about the cars...

They get frozen over.

Just try and open the car door to get in.

NO LUCK.

I hope you are not late for work.

I was !

 

SOON

I will be back where I do belong.

Home in Palm Beach County.

Is this gorgeous or what ?

 

I can hardly wait !!!! 

Pray for me that everything goes smoothly with my new condo in West Palm Beach Florida.

I need to be home again.

Vitamin D...PLEASE.

It doesn't seem to me

that this would be a place for me.

Call me crazy (many do ) 

but this is not a place where vitamin D is everywhere.

It's actually no-where.

 

And what I never realized was this....

There is no Vitamin D here for about 9 months.

 

Vitamin D is important, yes.

But

just the view of  desolation in your everyday experience is overwhelming.

Yes

I am consumed by the depressing aspect of a cold desolate winter.

Frankly

I wouldn't send my worst enemy here.

Oh...come to think of it...

yes I would.

                                                 Please let this be my very last winter in Maine.

Renee Finberg Is Heading Home To Boca/Delray

What can I say?

Besides the one certain fact that my words and feelings have been strangled by the fact that I have had to 'live' here in Rockland Maine close to my Mum.

It has been the worst time of my life….here. 
Not the time spent with my MUM, 
That has been magical

                   I came here to heal wounds with my mother.

My sweet mother.

It tears me apart that I am leaving her, not that I am leaving Maine.

I wish her to move with me , but she loves it here.

I have no future here.

She can not see that.

There is no design work for me here.

....And frankly the design here is not up to my standards.

Every job I applied for with my resume.....and you know my resume....

was NEVER considered.

You must be BORN here to be accepted . Period.

I just don't fit in.

And just let me say, it is not a tribe I would ever want to be associated with.

 I am going home!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can barely breath I am so excited.

My Family In Rockland Maine in The Summer of 2016

                                                             Love THE NAVY!!!

My Dad was in The NAVY.

If I were to join a military service.......

it would be the Navy.

The uniforms are the BOMB.

My baby Toni (on the left) and her Bro TOM on the right. 

Great little sailors too.

My bro Dan and his wife Liz 

sailing on our boat in the Penobscot Bay in Rockland Maine.

It was a fabulous day....

I mean FABULOUS !!!

Dan Finberg steering the boat.

I think he really loved it.

We had the greatest dinner to end the greatest day!

What have you done this summer?????
