Right Outta Nowhere-I'm outta here

I'm moving!
Estimated departure date: 7.15.11-8.26.11


In the last few weeks,
my life has gone from looking for a new place to live in my home state of Colorado,
to relocating to the Northwest.
McMinnville, OR to be more specific.

My mind still reels that this is true.
But it is.

Even though fear overwhelms my cautious mind,
My rebellious soul is ready for a big change.
I feel Colorado pushing me out of its mountainous beauty and family filled nest.
There really isn’t anything left for me here.
I’ve been restless for a while.
I’ve wanted to satisfy my gypsy needs since I was 17 years old.
And yet, I’ve remained here, happily.

But something is different now.
My thought-to-be career path ended years ago.
I’ve hardly made financial ends meet for far too long.
My fiercely independent nature has been tried and tested
as I’ve endured times of unemployment,
years of wandering around with no direction,
little motivation,
and a constant “holding on tight to survive” way of living.
I’m so tired.
And I can’t do it any longer.

Plus, the added component of my Dads desire to be out by the ocean has me SOLD on the idea,
in hopes that he joins me.
So, I’m going.
My lease is up at the end of June.
Many resumes out,
and already, a few job offers back.
Flying by the seat of my pants,
relying on xanex occasionally to keep me from exploding and falling apart,
support from my family,
support from my friends,
prayer,
essential oils,
and music,
are all going to guide me and assist me in this transition.


Here’s a song I have allowed to consume me, comfort me, and speak as my anthem.
Enjoy.
Love you all.
