Okay, so you want to downsize?

Cozy Living Room

My new normal.

Downsizing doesn't have to be scary. The process can truly be liberating. I have worked with many clients that fine the opportunity of leiting go of possestions that weigh them down to be an uplifting experience. Imagine not carrying around items and much forgotten chatter that makes us all live attached to our past and instead of embracing our curated futures.

After years of paying to store old documents and photos of a life I no longer live, I found it so liberating to let it all go. No pictures of an old wedding and a marriage gone bad. No old documents of a family that are no longer relevent. No items that I no need or want. An old desk that took up the entire floor space of my small but mighty office. So many things that I have carried, not even missed. GONE. Now what?

I get to create. First the space in my head. A space that speaks to me today. Not the self of yesterday I want to run from. But a space I want to lean into. A sancuary that I can call my own. I don't need others opinions, or input. this time is is about me. My space. Yep. Mine, all mine.

Emotions are turning. How dare I be so selfish. What will they say? How will they react when I have a space all of my own? How will I explain?

Who the F&%* cares, Let Them! Let them say, think, judge and point fingers, it is my turn. If I want to paint my wall black, charturese or pink, it is my wall. I will do as I please. I do not need permission to do what I want! It is my turn!

Perhaps I want cats. Or maybe just one.. What will I name them? Should I decorate my sanctuary with my cats colors in mind? Perhaps I should find a cat that matches my decor? I don't know yet. I will have to sleep on it. Let me light a candle and some sage...I will have the answer shorthly.
