yes ... you read that correctly. we are leaving the country ~ moving to the uk. we will settle in somerset. we are planning to leave canada as of january.
I've thought of you many times over the last 7 days- I want to write that post- but I'm simply drained with all the sh@t on me at the moment.
I'll be swamped tomorrow at my mom's (the divorce is now final :( I'll be decorating her home tomorrow. It's the first time in almost 20 years that I've done any decorating with mom... pray for me... that I won't cry while I'm there-
I hope this move will be a good one for you- one in the right direction, a move of life and love- and growth and health.
mayden ~ its not an end, but a beginning. a new challenge for you and your parents. godspeed. what a difficult time of the year to face such a thing ... for your mum and your dad, too.
i am excited about this move. a little stressed out and quite emotionally drained/frail ... but really looking forward to europe.
infini ~ i'm here til mid january for sure. mail the stuff soon, if not ... i will give you the new address sometime down the road.
comment moderation off ... i had it on for awhile about a month or 6 weeks ago. not necessary anymore, since i don't frequent the controversial circles these days.
my son will be staying here. he will take over the flat.
i'll send energy vibes your way. you'll need all you can catch. moving is stressful and tiring. moving overseas is even more stressful and tiring. i know.. i've been back and forth plenty of times. xo
yes ... everything will be different. i will be positively spent by the time i get there. still, it will be worth it. i'm told we'll be approx. one hour or so from stonehenge. and ... of course, its just a day trip to the continent.
and i will be treated like a princess from the moment i get there ... i can hardly wait. it cannot come fast enough.
Through effective change in myself, first and foremost, I can effect change in my surroundings in a most genuine and compassionate manner. This means challenging my self to compassionate, encouraging, genuine and hostile-free exchanges. It also means contemplating my reaction to the thoughts, feelings and expressions of others, prior to acting upon them. When negative energy and thinking threaten to darken my path, I can brighten my way through the light of acceptance and positive energy. I choose ~ it starts with me.

"Meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle. Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things." ~ Okakura Kakuzo, The Book of Tea
"All of us live in exile in a real way. As St. Paul puts it, we see as 'through a glass darkly,' through an enigma, separated always partially from God and each other." ~ Ron Rolheiser, OMI
"Truth is shattered into a thousand pieces when God throws it down to earth." ~Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg
"If you ask me 'How did Jesus raise the dead?' I will kiss you on the lips, and say 'like this'..." ~Rumi

"Writing is a form of memory." ~Unknown
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” ~ Steve Jobs
"An illustration of activity in stillness is in the spinning of a top. At its greatest speed there is most apparent stillness, and we say the top is then ‘asleep.’” ~Isabella Mears
"A certain skinlessness goes with the ability to observe and describe feelings. This does not make for blithe unconsciousness. Writers are doubters, compulsives, self-flagellants. The torture only stops for brief moments." ~ Erica Jong, Fear of Fifty
