This Message is Brought to You By the Letter "L"
There are words that appear in a cloud over my head like a comic strip. Here are those words...
Love
Leave
Learn
Let Go
Leap
I have loved much of my life here in California. There have been some tough times that even blogging wouldn't do justice. Aside from being unemployed, I've had to Let GO of things that I hold close to me because the lack of money and because it was time. One of those things that I Let Go was my piano. Have you ever had something that you know is an object yet, it heals and restores and quiets you? That was the piano. The good thing is that I know deep inside my heart, that I will one day have another and I will once again make beautiful music. For now, it's bringing joy to another family's hearts and that makes me happy.
I am Learning that all relationships aren't forever. I'm having to let go of a love that has been a part of my life for three years. I know in my heart that it's for the best. But, with Letting Go of that love also comes the gut wrenching releasing of Baby Boo. She will always know that she has been loved beyond measure by Momo. I plan to stay in her life as much as I can, from afar. But, the Letting Go causes such a sharp pain in my heart...I can only know it as heartbreak.
I'm Leaving with my held high. I'm Leaving to start my life new in a place that I know feels right and I pray, is right. I'm heading to Portland, Oregon where I know that I will Love again. I will find my wings and fly once more. More than anything, I'm seeking creativity and peace and contentment, and I believe that that's the direction I'm headed in.
I'm not Leaving alone. I'll have Single Boo as my daughter in crime coming along with me. Together we will find our way again; I know we will. Then of course, there's the two furry four legged kids that will also be accompanying us on our new adventures. (Nothing like having more things to blog about, right?)
One more thing, the moment I shut the door to my home for the last time, I'm going to look past the tears and smile. I'm not running away; I'm Leaping. In Leaping, there comes deep faith in that where I land, He will catch me.
I will be offline after Wednesday but I will be back after I settle in. If you live in or close to Portland, please ship an email off to me. I could use a few friends!
Thanks for hanging out with me in spite of my sporadic blogging. I so heart all of you!

ALL things work together for good to those who love God and walk according to his ways. Romans 8:28
Not... some things... rather, all things! He knows. This verse helped me during a very difficult time in my life and I hope it reminds you that if, He who feeds the birds of the air, how much more will he care for his own?
Praying for you as you go...
I am so incredibly proud of you. You have no idea.
I'm proud to know you and eager to hear about your adventures.
Know that I'm cheering you on and hoping for only great things to come your way. I'm keeping you on my sidebar so take your time to get settled in and post if/when you're up for it. And you have my email address too.
In the meantime, Portland is a fabulous place. Godson's Mom is from there. And, it used to be part of my sales territory so I know it fairly well. It's a wonderful, friendly city with so much to do. Maybe our real life paths will cross again some day. Portland is where I'd like us to retire to.
Onward Simone, one step at a time. Sending love and hugs. xo jj
I too am leaving you in my sidebar and await your update. Portland is indeed a wonderful place, very pretty and hopefully full of new opportunities AND you are getting closer to Alaska!!! Big Giant Hug to You, Single Boo and the two sweet critters. xoxoxoxoxo
L - Leaping is scary but can lead to exciting new things.
L- Lovely is a word that describes your attitude, beauty and strength. You will prevail like always!
L - Lively is what you will be in your new hometown as you make new friends and explore your surroundings.
L - Longlasting is the impression that you've left on me and that you leave on anyone you meet or touch paths with.
Best wishes on this new journey!
Lots of love from me to you!
I have been out of touch for so long with my new job and other busyness in my life that your post came as a bit of a shock.
Now let me say, that it felt right. I hope you have a peace about it. We have to let go to move forward. We have to let go to grow. if a child never let go of the sofa or coffee table, he or she would never learn to walk.
I am praying for you. God has big things in store for you.
I look forward to your next post.
Let me know how you like Portland. We've thought about moving there from time to time.
If there's one thing I've learned about you, it is that you handle the trials and hardships in your life with more maturity, grace and optimism than most people. You are a beautiful and very special person.
I pray for nothing but pure joy and happiness for you!
Talk at you soon! Peace.
Blessings and prayers,
andrea
