Thank you for this. We are making a huge change in our lives right now, but at least it is our decision and not forced. I know it must be hard for you. Keep pushing on through, once you have the energy.

Janine, I'm trying hard to get myself into packing mode for the rest of the week. And hoping for a little extra grace as well!

Thank you for this post, Pamela. The forced sacrifice of attachments is always challenging. I'm hoping this move will be restorative for you and that you draw strength from the lovely community you've built here with us. Take good care, my friend.

Heidi, This is such a great description - "The forced sacrifice of attachments is always challenging." I was looking on dressers last night. They are loaded with treasures. I felt as though I was willing to part with one thing on each. I might need an intervention! I too hope the move is restorative. I do of course want that very much!

That is a good daily goal, Pamela. I moved twice in a year, in 2020-21, a time of upheaval for so many of us, but it worked out and led to more time for writing and I so deeply value meeting you here. These transitions are the real deal, but I feel that you are really helping other people by sharing your journey.

Heidi, moving twice in a year is a lot, I totally understand that one. I’m sure it was more pressure during covid as well.

I’ve done that more than once myself, including both times I moved cross country. I had one last Hail Mary Pass I was hoping on and found out today that was not going to happen yet. So, onward until something else materializes. Once my head is clear I plan to delve into more about this. Thank you, as always for your friendship and support here!

I've been thinking about you and your move. We're also moving as our landlord has decided to sell the house we've rented for 8 years. We made the decision to leave AZ after 40 years and move to WA to be near our grandson. It's very exciting, and yet I have been full of grief and mourning. It's a daily struggle. Hugs, Pamela! ❤️

Cherie, I remember you have wanted to move closer to your family and be near your grandson. I am excited for you and I fully understand the grief and mourning. I remember leaving L.A. with a very heavy heart, and the sweet anticipation of moving to be near family. Please do keep me posted on your move. Hugs to you too Cherie! ❤️

Jo, I am so glad that this resonated with you. As of right now I am waiting on maintenance to contact me about multiple issues including a leaky refrigerator that have cropped up before moving in. This doesn't bode well at all... Time will tell.

Hi Beth, I am so glad this found you needing. I can't seem to get enough affirmations of late, or time to write. I look forward to catching up with you and all things and people here when I am settled!
