Well my friends, I am officially moving!
For the past year I’ve struggled trying to figure out where I want to move, when I want to move, and how I want to move and it’s definitely been a source of stress for me, which it definitely should not have been. I’m from and live near Los Angeles and for the longest time I was thinking of moving to either Boston or Seattle. I absolutely love both of those places and I thought I loved them so much so that I was having a difficult time choosing which one to move to, but then I realized I wasn’t being honest with myself. I feel like my head wanted those places, but my heart didn’t, and in my world, we follow our hearts and our gut feelings. Truth is, Boston is beautiful but it’s a bit far from home and I don’t think I’d want to build a life there. Seattle is incredible, but I went to college in Washington and have lots of friends there and I kinda want something new.
This past Spring I decided that it was time for me to choose where to move, because I was ready for it. For about a week I was juggling my options in my head… Boston… Seattle… Boston… Some place else??… Seattle… Live out of a suitcase in Europe?!… Boston… Seattle. I was going in circles. That following weekend, I was alone at an outdoor shopping center in Northern California. I bought a book from a bookstore there then sat on a bench outside to read it. Every so often I would gaze away from my book and look at my surroundings (people, stores, environment, etc). All of a sudden I had an overwhelming feeling of peace and clarity that I needed to move to San Fransisco. It was wild! I wasn’t even thinking about moving in that moment and I sure as heck never thought I’d ever want to move to San Fransisco, but like I said, I trust my heart and I go with my gut and they were both telling me to pack up and move to SF. Sooooo within a week I found and secured an amazing place to live!
Everything fell into place so effortlessly. I mean there’s a few lessons to be learned here:
- Trust your heart and your gut.
- Let go and let God (if you believe in that kinda thing).
- Everything happens when and how it’s meant to happen.
- Take chances.
Even with all the unknowns and the chances that I’m taking, I truly feel like this next chapter will be exactly what I need. Every part of me feels so right about it and it’s just incredible. I never thought San Fransisco would be the setting of my next chapter, but baby, I’m holding the book and about to turn the page, or cross the bridge if you will (get it? cause SF has all the bridges? too much? okay I’ll stop), and I will embrace all the newness that is to come! I’m so excited!
I’m moving to San Fransisco baby!!!!!
I hope the lessons I’ve learned from this experience have helped you in some way. Thank you so much for taking the time to read about my next chapter! If you have any questions or comments, leave them below or message me. If you’d like to keep up with me and my blog posts, check out this page!
