Linda and Traci after two 10 hour days of driving.
I’ve been quiet. Very quiet. And, I have also been very, very busy.
It has been several weeks since I last posted and I keep waiting for the words to come, but my brain seems to be busy synthesizing all the changes I have experienced. I think it needs time to catch up with my life.
So, maybe I will just start writing and see what happens.
In the last month or so I’ve made a lot of changes, including:
- Sold my house in California
- Sold or given away more than 1/2 of my possessions
- Packed what was remaining in a moving pod in 111 degree heat
- Welcomed my friend Traci who flew in from Tennessee to drive cross country with me
- Road tripped with Traci from CA to Missouri with my 2 cats in the back seat of the car
- Worried about my stressed out kitten cats the entire way
- Experienced the incredible natural beauty of our country including red rock in Utah, mountain vistas in Colorado, and the big sky of Kansas
- Felt awe at the courage of the pioneers who crossed our country in tiny wagons, often on the same land we were traveling
- Felt tipsy and giggly after 2 sips of a Margarita on night two of our trip – it was Traci’s fault
- Drove up to my new little house in Missouri on the evening of day 3
- Was welcomed with wide open arms by my son, daughter-in-law, and three grandchildren
- Took Traci to the airport and cried as she left
- Started settling into my home
Yep! I’ve been busy. This was a courageous step for me and I couldn’t be happier.
Stay tuned. There is more to come…

Way to go Linda! Congrats on your big move. I look forward to your updates on what’s new once you’re settled.
Thanks Shelly. I bet I will have several to share…
Enjoy your new life.
Thank you. I will.
I’m so excited that things fell into place (okay, were intelligently placed there by the Universe) for you to make this change at the perfect time in your life! Enjoy every blessing!
Melted at the words – Was welcomed with wide open arms by my son, daughter-in-law, and three grandchildren
Scrumptious Linda 🙂
It was scrumptious, Helen. Thanks for helping me find a word that fits.
Thank you for sharing! Sometimes it’s good to have butterflies and emerge from the cocoon. Best wishes.
So, that is what is happening. lol
Powerful courageous Linda – thanks for modeling the fear and joy of following your heart, which always knows the way. I look forward to hearing more about your ongoing adventure. Sending love, light and a hug.
Thanks Joan. There have been moments, but it’s all good in the end.
Wow, you are really off on a major life adventure! Bon Voyage!! We moved from Utah to South Texas with four cats and two dogs. Everyone survived, but we did indeed have very stressed out kittens along the way.
That was very brave of you. I am happy to report that my cats are finally settled in and doing well. They still aren’t sure about thunderstorms though.
