for me i had to move away to learn about myself.
i know that this could be a drastic endeavor (not to mention it can be expensive) for one to make.
for me i had been yearning for change and a fresh start.
i do believe it is possible to make changes to your life
and have a fresh start where you are currently living.
i did not have children at the time
and it seemed like the perfect step for my little family of two to make.
in the end however i ended back in my home state and i am thrilled that i did.
it's all a journey.
all of it.
and i was ready to make it my journey.
after moving with our australian shepherd in tow we set up home in beautiful bend, oregon.
i loved the small town feel, the slower pase, the trees (i'm wild about trees),
and awesome second hand shopping. Score!!!
(if you want to read more about that time there simply go to my archives and start at the very beginning. that is where i started my blog
so that family friends could keep up with my life in another state.)
during this time i had a lot more time to myself since i had little friends and Bryan was working the swing shift at the time, which meant not as much time to spend together as i went to work before he woke and returned home with him at work and to my two puppies.
so i think the biggest key, at least for me to discovering what it is that helps you discover what changes are needed to make to live the life you imagine is quiet and time.
quiet.
time.
i discovered so many things i liked and didn't like to do and things that i no longer wanted to fit into my day to day lifestyle. i realized my emotions are affected by my surroundings.
whether that be visually as in my home, workplace and city i live in,
but also by my relationships with other people.
during this time i decided it was time to open up that can of worms if you will and dive into every thing i moved away from.
in order to move forward i had to confront people in my past and get closure.
Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life.
Tip toe if you must.
But take the step.
