Personal Hiatus

Dining Room

We barely had enough time to eat and drink during the festive Christmas holidays due to a sudden interest in the selling of our house.  It did indeed sell and we had three weeks to vacate our lives of 15 years.  Making this all possible was the generous offer of a good friend to live in a beautiful farmhouse on their property.This is where we live now, amid the wind, the vistas , grazing horses and fox.

Now that the dust has settled, we are starting to experience the sadness of giving up a house that was ours creatively from beginning to end.  It was our personal masterpiece, which we were fortunate to live in for a long time.  Although our new space is magical, we are looking forward to embracing a blank canvas up north to begin the creative process again.

Although we left reluctantly it was time to go, time for reinvention and very apparent that an opportunity was presenting itself to do just that. We grabbed it.

Business as usual at our old location, at least for a couple of years, while we finish our house project in Canada.

It will take time and thoughtful consideration to imagine our new space, it being so different from the old in terms of size, proportion, light and relationship to nature.  That relationship will be the most exciting thing and one that we have not had in our lives for quite a while.  The farm is providing us with a good transition.

    The other side of the reinvention coin:

    I have lived here a little more than 4 months, I completely understand the emotions you describe. Like you, I abruptly left my familiar surroundings of 13 years with very little in tow. Like you, now that the dust has settled I feel the sadness of giving up what was once home. Like you, I am blessed by dear friends who did everything possible to make my new surroundings feel like home. Like you, I look forward to next turn of the karmic wheel with anticipation. We are connected.
