Renewal

I am a big believer in renewal.

The past month has been a time of reflection for me as I get ready to face the unknowable.  My anxiety over a looming upheaval of our lives (with career changes and graduation and a possible move on the ever-changing horizon), has thrown my apartment in disarray.  Daniel and I are finding out that my stress expresses itself outwardly into our living space.  It is a disaster.

I have finished my last midterm (woohoo!) and this weekend is going to be the beginning of piecing my present moment back together.  I am removing myself from those thoughts of the future and focusing in on apartment 9 as though I have no intentions of ever leaving.

This place is going to be renewed and I am going to reintroduce myself.  The places we live are not simply where we crash, but rather the places where our souls live.  My soul obviously connects deeply with my residence so if I have any hope of going about these transitions in a calm and connected way, I have got to re-engage with this apartment.

I am also taking this weekend to redirect my wardrobe.  It is a favorite hobby of mine...to give my appearance a little love and find some renewal that way.  The weather has started to warm and I am also feeling that my 14-year-old looking summer digs are not cutting it for a new graduate. :-)

I hope everyone will enjoy the sunshine this weekend and take a little time to renew!
