My He(ART)-Full Life

steps...


As we take these steps toward our new life...I find mySELF feeling so exhilarated, hopeful, exhausted, overwhelmed and amazed...all at once!! All of last week was spent looking at homes online, trying to learn my way around Miramar, driving on the Ca interstate a few times (!!!), trying to keep Tara on her routine as much as possible...mostly being on autopilot. All of this weekend was spent on looking at so many homes...it's all kind of a blur now. The super great news is that we found a few definite possibilities that will absolutely work for us in most ways (homey feel, super child friendly, open floor plan, great outdoor space, my studio (!!!), good energy...). Unfortunately, there will be a 50 minute commute to San Diego proper but all things considered...we are super excited at the prospect of being settled at some point. And the weather here is so warm...it feels like summer to me. Usually, I love seasons and cold, snowy Xmas days, hot chocolate, snuggling and bundling up. But this morning, as Tara and I sat outside surrounded by banana trees and birds flitting a foot away from us...the golden sunshine pouring down...I think I can adjust:)

Don't worry, Soraya, there will be hot chocolate and fireplace days ahead! But minus the snow, of course. If you miss it, you can always take a little drive up into the mountains after a storm. Sounds like things are moving ahead for you. Hopefully, you will be painting again soon!!

Dearest sweet Soraya, i totally understand your mixed feelings of this and that! I try to remind myself to take baby steps, breath and slow down. Have a lovely merry happy week and love to yoU!

This sounds good! Yes, I really hope for you that you can settle down soon and you can surround yourself by the things you love and can create again! Then you will feel more at home. It's also good for Tara. Whenever I see a photo of her I think how sweet she is.
