flow and letting go


Seventeen years ago, Spirit uprooted our young family from Dallas, TX to Fort Collins, CO. Trey wasn’t looking for a job change, and we never even thought about leaving Texas and all of our family. And yet, opportunities came to us and “Flow” literally carried us to our new adventure in Colorado. So grateful.

It’s happening again! We have a contract on our home from an unsolicited buyer. We feel an energetic pull to San Luis Obispo, CA, even though we have never even visited it. So in 2 and 1/2 months time, Grace will start college at Santa Clara University, and we are likely to have moved to SLO. Sweet and juicy flow again.

Although the idea of downsizing feels really good, the reality of shifting from 5 bedrooms to 2 (as Trey will use the 3rd as his office), and cutting square footage by more than half of our present home, and cleaning out 17 years of accumulation by 5 people, feels stressful. 

Spirit has orchestrated this transition in our lives, so I am setting my intention on trusting and allowing them to have control over it all!

Letting Go

Letting go...
of things...soooo much stuff!
of control
of our home and the known and “stability”
of motherhood
of youth
of Dad
of old patterns
of stress and the idea that there is not enough time
of my inner critic
of the past
of fear

Shedding
Simplifying
Freeing
Deep breath and huge sigh
Letting go

heart-full life



visually drawn to hearts
everywhere and in all things
especially when my heart is joyful and celebratory
especially when my heart is sorrowful and longing tenderness and healing
