I used to have a theory about my life and my happiness...I had 5 branches of my life...me, my house/possessions, family and friends, work and my dogs. As long as at least 2 or 3 of these areas were stable, I was in a good place. Well, all that pretty much went out the window in the last half of 2008. Both my parents were going through significant illnesses, my darling little dog I had for more than 10 years passed away, the plumbing under my kitchen had roots growing in it, causing sewage to flood my downstairs, and my company was sold to a Belgian beer company...Then it pretty much went downhill from there.
Things are still difficult everyday. Still trying to sort through all the legal and financial stuff, dealing with 2 houses, missing my folks every day, still being shocked to realize (several times each day) that they are gone forever, and today, it was announced that my company was sold by that Belgian brewer to Blackstone, a private equity firm.
Blackstone, a British company, either operates or is part owner of other entertainment entities, including the London Eye (a large Ferris wheel in London), Madame Tussuad's Wax Museums, Universal Studios Orlando, and closer to home, the Legoland theme park in Carlsbad, CA.
Many of their other entities are housed under a subsidiary called Merlin Entertainment. From what we are being told, they will be keeping Busch Entertainment Corporation as a separate entity. I think information will be forthcoming, but here is the latest: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33210164/ns/business-world_business
Not sure what all this means, but I can only hope for the best. Needless to say, my life has been out of balance for so long, I am not sure what balance feels like...But, I still keep doing my best to make it through each day.
Change is not bad...It is just, change. The only thing that is constant...But that doesn't mean it isn't overwhelming at times.
Much love.
