“Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.”
As you may or may not know I stated off packing up all my things to head west. Ohio to Arizona. So far the biggest life event for me. 4 days later I end up in Phoenix, Arizona where I spent 11 months of the my first year in Arizona. Phoenix was great!!! But not where I need to be. So let's back up to the first day I arrived in the state of Arizona. I spent my first day/night in Jerome, AZ. If you don't know about Jerome look her up! Fast-foward 11 months later, I ended where I stared. I had the opportunity to live in this amazing, unique, hunting town. I only dreamed of living here, never in a million years did I think I would get the opportunity to live in Jerome let alone it happen so fast. It has been quite surreal and I think it will continue to be surreal as long as I live here. Jerome has my heart and soul and when you know you need to live somewhere you have to go with that feeling. Go with that feeling on everything. When it feels right it is right and don't pass it up. This town has been some amazing to me in the short time that I have been here. This is a start of a new time in my life and I'm excited to see where it takes me. My goals are to connected back with myself again. Do the things that make me happy. Get back into the creative flow of things. Get back to being me. Over the years I have lost who I am by the doing of others and I can't believe I let myself get that low. But I guess it's just a lesson learned something to grow from.
This year has been filled with numerous emotions. It's been quite the learning experience and I've grown so much as a person. I've learned things about myself that I didn't know or forgot about, some good some bad. There have been wonderful times, good times bad times and times where I just wanted to give up and call it quits but quitting is to easy. I have had numerous people tell me how brave I am for moving a crossed the country by myself. At first I just shrugged it off like no biggie but as time has gone on I've realized that not everyone can do something like this and it does take a very brave individual to do what I have done. I guess it doesn't phase me that much because almost my whole life I've lived the "gypsy" lifestyle so it's the norm for me.
So too wrap up the year and starting a new year in this town, in Arizona, I am beyond grateful. This state has been unbelievable in the energy it releases. It never ceases to amaze me. I fall in love more and more every day. It's only the beginning Arizona!!! The journey continues...
