Big Changes

It’s been over 3 weeks (maybe more) since I wrote here, but it feels like a lifetime.

In three weeks I have packed up my entire life and moved it all over to the place I now OWN. I have been 100% responsible for making decisions of where to put things, what to decorate with, and what I want in my own house. I spent 5 precious days with Sunil sharing my city and celebrating how far I have come. I have decluttered, unpacked, donated, tossed out, and recycled my possessions. I have started the process of learning who *I* am…

For the FIRST time in my life I have been the person in control of my surroundings. I don’t have a boyfriend or husband criticizing every single thing. It was the first time that the colour choices that I (and the kids) made weren’t vetoed. It was the first time that things were placed where I wanted them. It was the first time when I got to pick out window treatments and furniture and spacing without having to appease someone else.

It feels good to start feeling that my life is MINE.
