I read that you are moving again. Brave souls you are and you will be rewarded with renewal of your creativity and nurturing because you are so open to change. I wish you luck in your new job, in grad school and a new house (am I understanding you right that you're moving to yet another home?) all the best to you and I will try to check more regularly to keep up with you! warmly, Maureen (in Montana) I have been away for a looong time and just came to see what’s new in your life and on your wonderful, inspiring and beautiful blog.

I am so excited for you and all the changes in your life. So much change can be overwhelming, but I just know you have such a good head on your shoulders that you're making all the best decisions for you and your family. xoxo Lovely post, art and poem.

I love that you're open to change...some choose only to stand on the shore and let the waves batter them...but there's so much more to be found--the soundtrack of our lives can grow so beautifully loud--when we let go and let the waves carry us off to a new place. I think you're about to enter an amazing chapter in your life...and I can't wait to read about it... My sister-in-law gasped the other day when I reminded her we’ve lived here a year already…doesn’t seem possible…people still don’t understand why I would trade ‘paradise’ for a small university town…but riding my bike through the afternoon warmth yesterday…feeling how strong my thighs have gotten from riding regularly…the sureness with which I navigate my now-familiar route…it feels like I was always meant to be here at this moment in my life…from the first moment I developed a crush on this town when I was 13… I love that you’re open to change…some choose only to stand on the shore and let the waves batter them…but there’s so much more to be found–the soundtrack of our lives can grow so beautifully loud–when we let go and let the waves carry us off to a new place. I think you’re about to enter an amazing chapter in your life…and I can’t wait to read about it…

Change is so pervasive and it sweeps us along whether we will or no. I hope you don't abandon your creative self either, or at least not for long, in the frenzy of new beginnings and all the demands on your time that a job will bring, but I can also tell you, speaking from experience, that even if you do drop it by the wayside for a while, you WILL return to it. Or it will return to you, anyway. :) You sent shivers coursing up and down my body. Change is so pervasive and it sweeps us along whether we will or no.

You have a strong sense of intuition and I know your soundtrack will play loud and clear over the din of children and the traffic of change. Sharon echoes my sentiments to the letter.

This must ring true for anyone who has ever moved, disrupted lives. However, you have managed to articulate it--not just for you but for everyone. Thank you. You have an amazing way with words and with insight. Today, I particularly love: "I want to be more conscious about holding on to the things I’ve grown to love: my artist self, my writer self; my camera’s lens, my runner’s thighs." Wishing you all the best as the transition continues. What a beatiful post. This must ring true for anyone who has ever moved, disrupted lives.
