It’s okay to outgrow people, places, and things.... the untethering

I spoke this shit when I was in Mexico last year on Sabbatical.

Now I’m finally walking in it (literally). I walked miles and miles a day exploring Tulum, Mexico… I did the same thing in the South of France, Paris, London anywhere that I visit that’s my MO. All I knew is that when I got back to the States, that I wanted to live in a pedestrian friendly place. It’s always been a goal /dream of mine to live in a place that I can just walk everywhere, or ride my bike. I came back from Mexico feeling sad, stuck and car bound in the suburbs.

 I knew I had to free myself, but I was on the fence. Then I got thinking …

 When I travel stateside or internationally, I ALWAYS stay in pedestrian friendly/city areas. I love it so much and it just lights me UP!! The movement… the proximity … the energy!

 So I’m like… why am I denying myself that in my everyday life? Why do I only get to FEEL those vibes when I’m on vacation… when this is how I want to LIVE every day?

 I also had to ask….Why am I holding onto a home that doesn’t serve me at this point in my life? Whose location does not contribute to my overall well-being and delight?  Once I decided and shared my decision,  many people did not understand why I would sell and not buy another home. Some had reservations based on fear, some had reservations based on conditioning.....and that’s ok, because my dreams don’t need to be understood by anyone but me.

 I asked myself … Why can’t every day feel like a vacation? Why am I not living in an area that lights me up? That feels good to my soul? And who says that I even have to live in the US full time any way?

 And so, the untethering begins ... as a chapter in my life ends.

Baby Moe and King Moe… lolol

 I’ve owned this home for 20 years. Since I was a baby, literally. After I got married, I used it as a rental property, then later moved back in when I got divorced. This home has sheltered and kept me and Nuna and my extended family, and I’m grateful. This was a huge emotional decision, but I set the intention to do it with joy and ease...and it’s done!!! 

I’m not moving out of the country just yet, but this is the first step for me in the “untethering” process.  For now, I’m moving to a super central area just outside of uptown, just like the areas that I frequent when I travel.  I can literally walk, ride my new bike and enjoy being close to things and places that spark joy for me.

 I’m actively creating a life that feels good to me, no matter how it looks to everyone else.  My energy already feels different and I can’t wait to share my adventures from my new digs…...

Stay tuned!!
