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.

This is so awesome to read! I’m so happy for you! There really is no feeling like that – freedom, responsibility, safety, ownership – all bundled together. As you said, your life is *yours*, and that is wonderful. Keep rockin the universe!
Technically, I believe we were celebrating how far and how *heavy* your stuff had come. Heh.
Congratulations! You make me gleeful as you journey. You’ve gone so far, and stood up to so much and this is such a big milestone to mark that progress. Bravo, Pam.
Truly, I’m honoured to witness this moment of yours (and to be counted your friend).
