“Are things this meaningful ever fully resolved?”
LOVE that.
Don’t know if you experience this: one thing I notice when repeating patterns/reliving old emotions etc. – it’s that the ‘echo’ is fainter everytime I revisit the thing (whatever it is).
I take solace in that sometimes when I visit an issue for the 5 millionth time.

For the love of Buddha, THANK YOU for saying so when you are in a bad mood!

boy, who doesn’t understand the crankies? and it’s always good to show the human side…the side that gets downright low and bitchy sometimes. rest in it because it’s the now.

Those crankies hold some wisdom for you, Swirly Girl. They are reminding you of what’s important to you. And it sounds like a beautiful and peaceful sanctuary is essential for your spirit.
You know it exists at Solvang. Because it’s so special, perhaps you wonder if it will exist anywhere else. But as Alexandra said, you created that special place. With your own personal brand of magic, I know that you’ll create it again.

Change so exciting yet so “cranky-making”. But you also seem to be in a balanced place too. I love how you can laugh through this. Selling a house that you love can be a whole lot like loosing a best friend. Be kind to yourself. hugs, jackie

who would you be without the anxious thought of leaving the solvang house behind you? can you think of a good stress-free reason to keep the thought?

i dig that you were smiling even through the crabbiness. it’s all a blessing ~ even when we can’t wear our too tight glasses to see it {i know that one intimately too!}
wishing you blessings on your journey ~
the wild, the windy, the tearful, the creative,
love and laughter,

I love Cranky Swirly Girl! As I read this, I can totally picture you and it made me smile. Not because you’re cranky with a headache but because you ALWAYS make me smile. I hope you’re feeling better. xoxo

Hello Cranky Smiley Swirly,
As someone who can become the crankiest person ever known when change is waiting with its bags, I can definitely empathize! Just remember that YOU created what you’ve had in Solvang, and all that wonderful creativity and courage and joy that you created in that house all goes with you to pour into your next home and life chapter.
And Thank You so very much for mentioning my new site yesterday! What a treat to find out!
