The Universe is such a party pooper sometimes, offering us precisely what we ask for. And potentially what is good for us. Many, many moons

I am a connector, a lover of all things beautiful and a fighter when things get hard. I try each day to live truthfully, learn as much as I possibly can and push myself in the right directions. I am learning to trust my gut and my instincts and embrace uncertainty.
Giving it “our all” is not dedication, it is insanity.
I still hear the knock of the “superwoman” complex trying to call the shots when I have a hard time shutting my computer at the actual end of the work day, switching into a different mode at home, resting, doing nothing, speaking up about what I want (or don’t). It is an almost palpable effort to go against that current.
Tredding water
Finding my place in a new community has been like tredding water for days on end.
We can choose courage, or we can choose comfort. Never both, at the same time.
At 46 I can say without a doubt that utmost bravery for me is not speaking my mind, not standing up in front of a crowd to speak, nothing of the kind. The most courageous thing for me is to look at what life is offering, spread my arms wide, allow myself to receive it wholeheartedly, stay in the present and go with the flow.
Quantum Leap
Moving countries, homes, is one of the biggest human stressors. Starting a new job, another one. Raising a teenager, an added bonus to all of this. And still the part that I look to with the most anxiety is myself.
Traveling companions
Relocating with pets is not easy but it is definitely a way to stay sane through travel in heat, nostalgia and worry about the future, bad accommodation and inherent road struggles. We highly recommend it.
