Becoming Home

Hello litebeings ! Just a quick hey to say I have moved to my new place. I have much to share, when the time is right. For now I am just popping on to say I have been through the Refiner’s fire and alchemy is still in play. To acquaint you with this process, please visit my friend Marcelle’s blog here. I first learned about this concept from Marcelle as a Quaker newbie. I did not know it is in the Bible, but I liked the metaphor. It feels very Scorpionic, with Mars  symbolizing fire and Pluto representing a powerful, intense transformation.

I now reside in Blue Bell, formerly called Pigeontown. This is cool since I am all about the birds! Blue Bell has strong Quaker Roots and plenty of history. I did not know this before moving here. I chose this town in part because it has a great library, I know some people who lived here and liked it, and it seemed like a livable place. Also I ended up here because it was the only place that had an apartment available with the essentials I wanted  when I needed to relocate.

Check out these fun facts here. 

The link is to a real estate site, but don’t let that concern you. I think its a good read and may speak to why I landed here.

I am in a sea of boxes and that’s fine by me. Taking things slowly is my new motto. I have already discovered a great supermarket, an excellent Asian restaurant, and a couple short cuts to get from here to there and back. My air diffuser is on and my fridge is decorated with lots of mementos.  Grace and gratitude spring to mind when I consider that I did all of this work, mostly on my own. I started looking for a new place in March and threw out probably 50 or so trash bags ( plus boxes) full of no longer needed stuff. Do I feel lighter? Not yet. However, even in the darkest of dark times ( for another post) grace was never far away. Maybe slightly obscured, not still present.

As you can see from this photo above, there are woods in Blue Bell. This gives me hope that the natural world will continue to be part of my reality. I have to tell you, I am soooo proud of me! I still cannot believe I was able to make this happen. Plenty of tasks still await, but for now I want to be thankful for all I have and those I love.

Namaste
