I decided to move to Florida! To be on the east coast again and live somewhere warm…..to be closer physically to family and friends. ♥️ I really loved visiting Tampa and am excited to settle there soon.
But this is my detour “why”! My dad just turned 80 in April and I haven’t lived near him and my stepmom for a long time now (since junior high really)! And so I decided to come to ft myers to spend a few months getting some quality time in with them! 🤩
I’m like 4 days in and so happy with my decision. Having Cooper here with me is even more epic than having just visited.
What I CAN tell you is that moving across the country on a heart driven reason, is definitely courageous. I don’t say that to pat my own back….I say it from experiencing the emotions….the second guessing….the releasing and letting go of a life I knew very well! (all your comforts you spend typically years building!)
A week or so ago I had “that” moment! “What in the f@ am I doing?! Uprooting our lives for life back east that I can only IMAGINE how it’s going to be?! This is just crazy! It’s not like I’m being relocated! It’s not like I have even ANY sense of what is there for me!”😵💫
Then a few hours after my moment, my dad was in the hospital (he’s ok and honestly, they don’t know what happened) but my “why” was quickly confirmed for me.
My strong heart pull brought me here and I will figure it all out like I always do and always have!
And now I have this time ♥️ and I’m in it and I KNOW…that I’m exactly where I am supposed to be (and even if the only way I know is because I tell myself that!) ….that’s all that matters to me.🤩 if I don’t follow my heart…no one else will 🤷🏻♀️😍
I wanted to share (if you’re still reading this….thank you) And I wanted to share in case someone needed to hear it! I acknowledge…these heart and gut decisions can be challenging AF to step into sometimes, but choose YOU every time! You will never regret choosing where your soul is guiding you 🌟
