“Life is like a book. Some chapters are sad, some are happy, and some are exciting, but if you never turn the page, you will never know what the next chapter has in store for you.”
Today was the closing of our house. I did not think about what if…I went to the closing with an open mind and a smile and came out with a bigger smile.
I glamorized people who lived alone —and perhaps secretly I wanted it for my own. I never lived alone until today.
I hear the benefits of living alone are many: freedom to come and go as you please; space and solitude to recharge in a plugged-in world; taking domain over the bed, etc.
As my son mentioned to me the other day “If you feel like walking around naked who’s to know?” Hmmm maybe if there are no mirrors around.
I’m knee deep in boxes and there’s plenty of them. I really have to purge again. I opened one box and thought to myself “why did I pack this up? It should’ve gone straight to the garbage”.
It’ll take some time before I get the place looking to how I want it and make it “my own.”
For now, I’m going to enjoy getting to know myself again.
And if I leave a bra on the kitchen table, I may not think much about it.

Thanks for stopping by. 🤗
My absolutely pleasure!👍
I am very happy for you. One of the benefits of moving is the change to take stock and get rid of stuff. Enjoy your new home!
Thank you!
I constantly take my bra off and leave it on the table. Or couch. Or kitchen counter.
good luck.
new beginnings.
Haha…it’s so liberating!
Happy for You <3
Thank you V. 💞
Thank you, thank you, thank you! xo
Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! xo
Oh, Bernice, congratulations! I’m seeing a beautiful column of Light to fill and surround your new home. That quote is magnificent – who is it by?
And I love, love, love the thing about leaving a bra on the table – or at least leaving your options open. 🙂
Be in touch anytime. You are a sweetheart.
Love and Light,
Debbie
When my sister and her family stopped by the other day she said the place felt so good/at peace. Yes…light filling my home. Beautiful. The author to the quote is unknown. Here I am making a switch to live on my own and you may be moving in with someone. 🙂 Each on a unique journeys. xo
Best wishes my dear, enjoy your new chapter of life. It should be so much fun and interesting. <3 <3 <3
I’ll keep you updated. Hope you’re doing well. xo
Thanks so much 🙂 I can’t wait to read more of your posts. By the way I LOVE your front door decoration. You did an amazing job!!!
Wishing you the best new beginning you are meant to have! And enjoy unpacking and purging more items as you go!
I’ve purged so much yesterday and somehow snuck in time to go to the pool! It can’t be just all work and no play, right? 🙂
That sounded like a perfect way to enhance a great day. Wishing you something as enjoyable again today! I’m off to my 2nd and final day of an Adlerian Psychology workshop…interesting, enjoyable interaction and ending with dining out!
Sounds like fun. Enjoy yourself Marie.
Living alone, where it seems scary and often lonely, will surely be a liberating experience. You may be plagued by a color of emotions but right now all you can do is relax, day dream and discover yourself completely. Good luck with the new place 🙂
I like the way you described this a liberating experience. Thank you for your well wishes.
I can drop off my kids anytime if you feel the house is too quiet 🙂
Hahaha…I’m a kid myself so it wouldn’t bother me.
That quote towards the end is just awesome!
I have never lived alone too and I used to imagine that a lot. By now it is a bit scary thought.
May you and your home be blessed with amazing happiness as you make it your own! Truly an unique experience in my perspective 🙂
It surely is an important benchmark in my life. Thank you for your support. Huggz.
You are very welcome 🙂
best wishes my dear for a beautiful new way of life!
Thank you so much Michele. xo
Wishing you many blessings as you begin this new journey. 🦋✨
Thank you so much! Looking forward to it.
A fresh start, Scary but i wish you lots of happy moments.
Scary was a word I used weeks ago and then it slowly started to change…only because I started to see it differently. Thanks so much!!
It all takes time doesnt it? Hope it works out well for you.
I feel that you will do fine. Best of luck.
