New Beginnings

It's been some time since I last came up for air and all for good reason.  For what feels like an eternity, we've been "heads down, bums up" working towards our dream - moving from the city to the country.  And it's finally here!!! As of today - after a very tough slog, including a two-week delay, then five solid moving days, 1,500 kilometres and a body full of bruises - we're in.  Despite the laborious and stressful nature of moving, unpacking is my favourite part - having the opportunity to put life back in its place does wonders for my slightly obsessive organisational mind.  And my, do I have a lot of unpacking to do hahaha

We've only been here a week but already, my mind and soul feels more free.  Simple things like being woken by the chortle of magpies; viewing an alpaca grazing from my kitchen window or like tonight, the neighbours having a roaring bonfire in their back paddock sings true to my soul.  I certainly don't miss the blaring sirens dozens of times a day or the hustle and bustle.  We will, however, be continuing to run our business in the area we've moved from, but being able to "escape" at the end of the day is so liberating.

We have so many plans to get underway once we're all settled in that I feel like a child on Christmas morning.  I'm super excited to set up my studio and finish a few of my WIPs (which is actually a large box full <eek>), so stay tuned.  But for now, I can stop ... and ... just breathe.  And honestly, it's bloody fantastic!

Enjoy your week :)
