The long walk home
I've drunk too much coffee today but this verging-on-hysterical feeling i have in my chest hasn't got anything to do with caffeine. I said goodbye to my hairdresser this afternoon after sitting in the chair for a couple of hours having a new cut and colour in preparation for the new life; i said goodbye to my therapist yesterday and that was a very emotional goodbye filled with so much gratitude; i said goodbye to the man who sells me my newspapers and the friendly man who always serves me in the post office; tomorrow i'll walk down to the beach and say goodbye to the ocean… for now at least. Each day my emotions are becoming more and more magnified; with so much still to do i know there will be a massive come-down when i'm finally in the new place and suddenly have no more urgency, but i'm hoping the shock won't be too bad and that i'll adjust quickly. One thing i do know is that i'm moving for such positive reasons compared to the last move, and i can't help but reflect on that each day and feel proud of how far i've come – that's helping to temper the doubts and fears that keep threatening to run away with me.
Goodbyes can be hard but I imagine every single person who has hugged you goodbye is sending with you their best wishes and prayers. Imagine all that positive energy wrapped up like invisible presents – and all just for YOU!
that feather gave me chills. ; )
I found this post very eloquent.
thinking of you, excited for you too. xo
if i were there i’d tickle you with that feather
Hey sister
It’s nearly time and I know it’s a huge thing to do – but I’m with you one hundred percent. It’s time for change, and time to let yourself open up to all the good things that have been waiting patiently till you were ready. It is gonna be totally AWESOME!!! See you Saturday! Love you xxxxxx
Ahhh, brave and beautiful you. Blessings and strength for each step of your walk home.

i want to wish you the best in your new move, and i want to say change is a great thing.
I hope you have all the strength and happiness that you will need.
lots of love and hugs :)
And there is the feather!
He never misses a beat.
You are moving for all the right reasons, and although that doesn’t make it easy – it does make it deeply good. Sending you love.

It’s so interesting how things work out! I’m so proud of you and all your healing decisions. You’ve taken such care. I have no doubt that your new home will bring happiness and surpizes and joy.
(and hello, little feather! I haven’t forgotten your symbolic self…)
good luck on your move–all the best to you, friend.

You’re moving for all the right reasons and I doubt there’ll be much of a come-down once you’re there – I cannot imagine anyone having a come-down in that city.
Oh dear friend – I am SO PROUD of you!! I feel like a broken record, but it’s true!!
P.S. I saw you in a new book of mine today beautiful girl!!!
xo
I am in awe of your strength and bravery….christine
I’ve just moved because of my marriage break-up, and while it’s been tough, it’s also very liberating. The very best of luck! x
i read this post with a bit of trepidation, because you are going through actions that i will go through in a few months. and its hard to read what i know willhappen to me – the emotions and all. on a happier note, that is a beautiful photo you put with this post.
I think you’re amazing!
