Signed a contract with a buyer today to buy my beloved property. Bittersweet moment.

Oh how I struggled with this. Today I feel the pain of leaving my sanctuary. I do not have room in my heart to think of the future possibilities.

Back in 2009, my husband and I were looking for a place to buy. We were shown this property. Famous last words from me, “No way on God’s green earth am I moving into that country bumpkin place.” God has a sense of humor. We put an offer in on another place. All was in the works.

UNTIL

My husband was laid off. Only place we could afford on my salary was – you guessed it. This scary piece of property I dubbed Spooky Hollow. I would not even invite friends over because I was so embarrassed by this place. Shame on me, because this was a blessing from God.

God’s plan is better than mine. My family had a blast. We had beautiful vegetable gardens and chickens. I raised my two oldest grandkids here. I learned I wasn’t really a city girl. My country girl heart blossomed. When I turned on my dirt road I immediately forgot a hectic day. This was my pace. This was my safe haven. We made a bunch of memories. I had lots of stories to tell.

Life changes. Time to move on. I grudgingly made the decision a few months ago. I accepted the offer today. Moving on to new things. Moving to new places – not sure where – but somewhere.

I’ve taken interest in new things – my health for one. Taking my life back. Time for me. I have the time and I have the money. I joined a group. I exercise from home. I have lost almost 35 pounds and 25″ in 5 months. I’ve become a BODi coach so I can empower other women to do the same.

God takes care of me. He took care of me all those years at Spooky Hollow and I have complete faith I will find happiness in my next adventure. I am sure He will let me see the joy in my new surroundings. I will make new memories and have new stories to tell. Stay tuned!
