Last night
Twice today i was told how brave I am to be moving like this, on my own to a place i don't know (yet). For me the real bravery was coming here in the first place, when I didn't have a reason to carry on, when it seemed that the world had ended for me. That was real bravery – grieving and healing; being brave enough to really feel the pain, not run away from it or suppress it until it festered. To be moving to a new city with all that i have learnt under my belt doesn't feel brave, it just feels like freedom. I can leave this guilded cage at last and steer my boat in a new direction. I feel grateful to have lived in this little flat, grateful for the walls that sheltered me and the door i could lock.
Thank you, Flat 3, for carrying me to shore. You've been a good flat and a safe home. Thank you for everything.
So when I next sit at this page I will be in Bath; my broadband will be reconnected and I'll have (hopefully) unpacked everything, worked out where the heck the post office and nearest cash point are and cooked myself a few meals in my new kitchen. I'll be preparing for my workshops (more on that here) and it goes without saying that there will be a new pomegranate wall in the world. Thank you for all the comments you've left me on the last few posts… they mean a lot to me, they really do.
Okay, so i guess this is it.
Here i go…

I love how you are able to identify your bravery along with each and every detail it encompasses in your life. I was going to write a comment on your last post saying how brave I thought you were just in having the ability to say goodbye to familiarity and embrace change. However I think you put it best in this post. You are one brave (and strong) Chica :) Best wishes on your new journey…
Courage, peace, laughter – I wish them all for you.
good luck susannah – heres to new beginnings and pomegranate walls!…x
It’s been an honour to witness your bravery, healing and share in the journey. I can’t wait to see what you create next in this world. The workshop sounds great – I wish I was closer! xx, JP/deb
You are brave in every sense of the word and I can barely see you soaring, you’re so high up there. I love you so much.
wishing you only the best ahead….
