Be Here Now

I did it. Well, honestly, I had no choice. The universe (and the cessation of a little thing called my apartment lease) gave me the psychic shove I needed to finally spend my first night in my new home. And it was fantastic.

Good morning, my beloved new abode. I am here.

This has been a very long journey. Long to the point of one friend asking what was taking me so long (to which I responded, “You are not being helpful.”). Long to the point that I have circles under my eyes that I am worried won’t go away. Long in the way creating a vision and birthing something new are both important and tedious.

For the first time in 10 years, I have moved into a place all by myself. For the first time in 39 years, I have bought a house. And this house belongs to me, which is exhilarating and intimidating. I carefully tiptoe around. I gingerly move furniture. I don’t want to mess up this home. My home.
