Chapters end and begin…

Well I am back to blog again…now that my move is complete.  My move was a sad one in some ways, but very happy in others but definitely a learning and growing experience.   I bought the house when my income was very different than it is now, that being said…the stress that went with that income was also very different.  I put a great deal of my love and energy into that home.  If you walked in you knew it was my home…but with the choices to follow my path/dreams…and the land values taking a “nose dive” even more than they had…well yeah the story is one that could be sad. 

 There were the moments of what to do, who am I, what have I done?  Coming from a place/society of owning a home was a must, paying your bills were a must and if you couldn’t what kind of person were you…well they plagued me.  Responsibility, had I lost my mind…but then came the question…who am I supposed to be responsible to??   How about myself…so the choice to sell my house was my best option.  Short sale…oh no…what an ugly word, not today it isn’t.  It is only an ugly sad set of words if you let it be.  The contract was written, the banks approved the offers and the next thing you know the home I had worked on so hard was going to belong to someone else.    There were many surreal moments…then one day the time was here.  I was a week away from closing not knowing where I was going to live…then I found the perfect little place…a cottage closer to the beach than my house had been.  Close to the same size and plenty of room to create my amazing  jewelry.  The new owner of the house I once use to call mine, was tickled to buy the home and will love it as much as I did and that makes me very happy!

I learned a great deal through this process.  That some of the things/ideals we grew up with are not necessarily best for us.   That we need to be responsible for ourselves and our happiness.  That trusting is a gift and that you can either see the wine glass half  full or half empty…I always knew it was full…it was just a question of was it red or white!!

Speaking of gifts…I chose this fabulous coral and crystal necklace with Hilltribe silver as my feature piece because coral is a gift from the sea!!  (Not on the site yet, contact me for more info on this piece).  Many hugs with much love to all…Randi
