Wow…..thank you for this reminder. Although I generally embrace change & find it exciting, I’m in the midst of some rather big changes (or transitions) and this was a perfect reminder at the perfect time. 💕

I’m in tears right now. You know how much change I’m going through right now. I need to stay positive and in a place of faith that it’s all for my own good. And btw, just too love your place. Don’t change the cabinet pulls or the chandelier because just like you and I, it gives us our distinct and loveable character ❤️ LOVE the new place!!

I absolutely love the Brianna West quote. I had to read it a few times. It is a wow factor. And for me, it's perfect timing. I'm currently walking through fear while hoping to find my place in the sun.

Love the view from your new home. Where did you more from and to (states) did you move to? (And best of hopes and happiness to you in your new home!)

Yeah I love all of her writing. She is amazing.

We are in the San Diego CA area. Our move was only about 35 miles. Just a big shift going from high rise urban to suburban golf course community. Feels further away!

Let’s plan a virtual coffee date soon. Would love to hear what you’re up to.

Sounds wonderful! I suspect you'll love the change... from high rise living to ground living, the rooting will feel amazing.

Your home sounds amazing - can’t wait to see it! You do have a way for words, karen! Great article! Don’t like change, but it happens in life so i embrace(?) it rather than run from it! ❤️
