I have been thinking about the time in 2015, when I had decided to leave NY and move to SoCal.
It was a big project, with a lot of moving parts. I had to get organized (which I love)
I made a list of what had to happen to get me to my goal.
Then, I had a sub-list of what I had to do each day. I made sure it was manageable and smart. ( I do love a good list)
I had to give everything single thing I own, a hard look. I had to decide if I wanted to ship, donate or gift it.
I only brought what I loved, what was meaningful and or functional. Then, I was very thoughtful about what do with the rest.
Once the plane ticket was secured, I made my rounds to my clients, friends and family. We had a couple of big parties. It was so important to give gratitude and love to everyone that has been part of my story.
I took a deep breath, got on the plane and embraced this new chapter.
I love living in SoCal.
However, the life lessons that I learned when leaving my hometown, suits me here too.
I am creating a life that is simple, fun and easy.
I have let go of everything that weighed me down. I did not pick them up again, I love living with only what I need or love. No clutter, great Feng Shui.
I am organized in an easy way. It keeps the drama to a minimum.
I stay in touch with friends and family and let them know how I feel.
I take a big breath then take chances and trust it will work out.
My friend Rick Smith wrote a song called “In the Leavin’”.
My goal is to wake every day and act as though I am in the leavin’
