this last week has been good.
a lot of progress, an upbeat attitude.
but the month before that?
well, let me just say,
when you decide to move to another country . . .
most days are hard in some ways,
and some days are hard in most ways.

A few of you have indicated to me that you’re oh-so-close to pressing that button and saying YES to my retreat-no-more experience in Italy. Your heart beats a little faster as you contemplate putting yourself FIRST. But then . . .
i’ve been talking about the importance of chasing your dreams for awhile, haven’t i? this facebook memory from one year ago popped up again yesterday:
today I want to hear from YOU! what is YOUR dream? are you actively pursuing it?
busy busy busy at villa magnolia.
preparing our home for its first retreat in june.
i haven’t had much time recently to write,
not even in my journal.
(which is a bit distressing for me.)
but it is what it is,
a season in life.
sometimes movement feels
obvious and linear and continuous.
future-oriented.
and sometimes movement feels
ambiguous and chaotic and unsteady.
just-need-to-get-the-hell-out-ish.
sometimes movement is
a choice.
and sometimes movement
feels forced.
sometimes movement is
painstaking and slow, going around in circles.
and sometimes movement
feels so fast you can’t catch your breath.
