I have been tagged by the one and only Crunchy Domestic Goddess (who by the way GIVES things away on her blog, like really cool shit, and I am going to copy her soon because I have a lot of cool shit of my own that needs a home, so be on the look out for give aways over here before we move…which i think may be soon…more on that later.) Apparently Amy, bless her soul, has not seen enough photos of me on this blog. For the longest time I was committed to being only a writer, I did not want to post images of myself here, my kids and photos that corrulate with stories I tell, sure. But for the mystery of it all, I like being just voice. But now I have been challanged. Amy did a wonderful little photo essay of herself from way back when (crunchydomesticgoddess.com) and I was so sweet to see her grow up into mama right in front of my eyes.
Because my photos and discs of photos are packed away, I am sorta unable to do too much right at this second, but in the next few days I will search around, scan stuff, etc… and do what I can, diving into my past and sharing it, which is sorta scary (I mean, do I share Daytona Beach Spring Break 1991? Or Dead Shows from ‘94?) That could be way to much for anyone to handle). Anyway, I am not modest in the least, I just always wanted to spare you from the crazy visuals from my crazy mind.
But I think that this will actually be a good way to end an era here. As I move on, get on the road in the next month, It will be the start of something that was born so long ago; a garden of thought and ideas have grown into something to harvest. We will be taking the next step towards some very unknown waters, new place, new way of life; I am even thinking of changing the name of this blog. I no longer want to be misplaced. I am finding home. Finally. In my heart first, because leaving security and home and embracing my gypsy is my home. Exploration and spreading my seed in purpose is my home. Change is my home. Nature is my home. A new chapter is on the cusp of starting. I am just opening the page and as I move on, I look forward to sharing. So I will try to time it so I can finish up my time here with snippets of my life until now. I have had a beautiful life. Graced with goodness. I have been gifted a life so full with experiences, diverse experiences, why not share a bit of that with you. Now off to figure out how to do it. As all my friends can vouch…I am not computer savvy.
I already miss you and you haven’t left yet. We have to get together before you go!

Girl, you won’t stop writing, will you? You better NOT!! Just revamp your blog or something, OK? Seriously…and, does this mean you sold your abode? How so, so cool if yes
. Either way, you are heading up north next month? Wonderful, wonderful….

oh shit, i don’t want to jinx myself. the house is NOT sold yet…just very close, but it’s not a done deal, i am just thinking it may be.
Doulala, you gotta just come over and steal me.
Joanna, no, i would never stop writing. for me to write is to breath, to live, to survive.

i’m glad you will be playing along. please don’t feel there is any rush. if your stuff is packed, you can do it another time.
that’s awesome that you don’t feel misplaced any longer and will be going home.

“Embracing my gypsy is my home”
This line leapt out at me.
WE bring our home with us.
And your home is one abundant and gorgeous place, with you always, freely offering me to come inside and rest and be.
