Well just on here to tell everyone that I will be having a break in the blogging for a while. I have already lapse a bit since shifting and realized tonight that I really need to crack on and get my qualifications completed so that I can get this business up and running.
See you all in a couple of months.

All shifted
Well we are finally here - Yay!!!!! After a week of cleaning and still not completing the job everything is in the new place and out of the old. It is great wandering around the garden, picking oranges while watching the kids exploring, climbing trees and running around.
As I write this Himself is trying to light our first fire. There are still mountains of jobs to do however the place is ours and we can do it in our own time. Just happy to be in our own home again, with land, a view and close to nature.

Freedom?
"You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom." Malcolm X
This quote is ringing particularly true for me at the moment as I struggle to be free from past demons and obtain peace of mind. It just reminded me of the connection we have to everyone - even through generation and cultural gaps - and that everyone is more or less on the same path. We are all obtaining peace my rid ourselves of something to obtain freedom in our lives. Be it segregation, weight, prejudice, mental anguish, war, conflict, poor health, or just negative people around us we are all on the same journey.

Roll on the 6th
Now that we are all signed and sealed with the new property we are just waiting to hand over the cash and to move in. I know that moving day is at the end of the week and yet the motivation to actually pack anything ready to move is mysteriously absent.
With all our other moves I've begun sorting, clearing and packing weeks ahead of shifting so I'm at a bit of a loss as to why on this occasion I just can't be arsed - to put it nicely. Maybe it is because unlike other moves we are still going to be in the same community so I haven't needed to do the cutting ties and moving on thing. We are still actively going to playgroup and the International Women's Group I've formed has its first gathering this week. There are just too many other good things happening to worry about stinky old packing!
Luckily being in a fully furnished rental there isn't that much to pack up and most of our stuff is overloading the garage already to go. I know I get there eventually -otherwise himself may feel its his duty to intervene - so for know I'll stay chilled, relaxed and calm.
