Tough roads ahead... Ugh. Hope all goes as well as planned, but.. you know. A GOOD time to purge and jettison things of iffy value... and embrace things that still hold you dear, regardless of 'commercial' value. I have talismans that will stay with me into my coffin, but mean nothing to others. Do what you must. I applaud you and your resolve.
Dear Laura, forgive me, because this comment has nothing to do with your post. (My best wishes for your move!)
Today I hit a milestone birthday AND I started your book, Kitchen Bliss. A happy intersection as I find myself in an energized and contemplative mood for all that the coming decade will bring.
Reading the first few chapters of your book, in a sunny room (a blessing in February in Indiana), with warm coffee at hand, brought me joy. In addition to travel and building a new garden from scratch, spreading as much kindness and joy as possible, and leaning into love in all it forms, I want to gather people around the table! Gatherings large and small, chic and relaxed, planned and spontaneous- it is good food, warm conversations and connections I seek around the table be it for two or ten or more.
Tonight we celebrate the start of my next decade with a gathering of 30 for ‘Sequins and Sliders’ You seem a kindred ‘kitchen’ spirit, I wish you could join us.
Thank you for your musings - they are a gift to me today - and Cheers to you and your move. May it bring you joy.
moving is horrendous on a good day, and you've been thru the wringer on top of it all ~ Prayers to you as you go thru this new life-changing event ~ Happy Anniversary! ~
God bless you. We've all been through a chaotic time such as yours and unfortunately it was your turn. Your explanation of the situation was poetic though I'm sure more settled now. Good luck during the next phase of your journey.
Laura, two trips to the East Coast within a few days, I hope all is well with the family there. Happy anniversary to you and Peter and I hope you have found a fabulous place to live. I look forward to follow you on this adventure. Sending best wishes to you and your family.
Happy Happy Anniversary to you both, so very sorry it’s a rough patch, there will be better days ahead I am positive, waving my health joy and happiness wand with love🌸🌸
