New Home for Me, Too!

October 4th, 2009

Recently, my life has been full of change and transformations.  I have been challenged to live my principles time and again.  Each time I do that, scary as it feels, the outcome always feels expanding and in resonance with my essential self.         

I was living in a happy and comfortable environment for over 5 years, not ideal, but very cozy and affordable.  My landlady, Bettie, became a good friend and supporter of my art over the years.  She turned 94 this spring and her health took a turn for the worse not too long after her birthday.

When she didn’t spring back after a few months, her daughter decided it was time to install a fulltime caregiver in my top floor sanctuary and I was given my notice on August 3rd.  Here was a challenge of the first order!  Bettie’s friendship was irreplaceable, but I had to find a new space for myself, my business and my very large movie collection.  I also loved and had to let go of the neighborhood and my feline friend, Pretty Feet (Bettie’s cat).   Here’s a picture of her in what used to be a favorite spot –  the back of my computer chair!

I was in a grieving process of letting go of so many things, near and dear.  But I also realized I had been given a gift, the gift of change which always makes way for new energies and experiences. 

August became a blur of memories, packing and searching.

However, by asking for what I wanted and working with the Law of Attraction a novel idea came to me – it was finally time to stop renting!  I narrowed my search to affordable mobile homes and within 2 or 3 days had found just what I was looking for.  I knew it was my right place because everything just flowed easily once I made the decision.  My friend, Madeline Gerwick, the ‘Good Timing Guide’ lady, was a help in so many ways, not least in her suggestions for good days and times for closings and signings. 

Friends volunteered for the moving part and I didn’t even have to rent a truck to move to my new home about 10 miles south in SeaTac (south Seattle area near the airport, but amazingly quiet).  It all got done in one day and even before my moving deadline!  It’s older and not fancy, but it’s all mine and I love it!  Here are some pictures of my ‘White Palace’ (thanks, Teresa).

This is my friend, Michael, in the kitchen before I moved and here’s the kitchen after I moved in.

This is the living room window group that looks over a honeysuckle bush frequented by hummingbirds.  When I saw that I really knew I was in my right place.

LaundryRoom

There were many perks for me personally about my new place.  The joys of my own roomy laundry room, a regular kitchen with a full size refrigerator, stove top and oven, lots of built-in book shelves, plenty of extra storage, a covered carport and mail delivered right to my door!  Ah, it’s the little things that add up to a happy home.
