Maggy, you have been on my mind recently and now I know why! I both envy and admire your upsticks'ing and moving to another country with nary a plan nor certainty. That takes chutzpa! I'm excited for you and this adventure. Follow your bliss as the great Joseph Campbell once said (sort of).

You've been on my mind, too! I kept trying to remember if we talked in the first week I learned of the move (everything was a swirl), but we talked earlier in the spring! Or was it late-winter...? What a year so far. I owe you an email is all I know :) Yes to following bliss!!

Goodness, Maggy, this essay made me feel all the feels once again. Your chalice-like cups with longings and prayers (this truly gave me tingles). Your savored and meaningful treasures. Your byes-for-now. Your gorgeous office space. The undercurrent of trusting your values and spirit. Parts sound rather bittersweet, which I'm sure is an understatement.

Funny how things can happen so fast, or so slow, or some mystifying combo of both.

Your thoughtful and exquisite sharing conveyed such rich, meaningful insights. So much resonates, and so much has uplifted my heart today.

Best of luck to y'all as you transition (but first, savor all the vacay time as you can!!!) (and, hope your furry friends are hanging in there?!). Enjoy all of those croissants!

Thank you so so much, Leah, for your kind words! I'm grateful as ever for our connection. And yes, cats are hanging in there! I was nervous since we had a delayed train and it was HOT, with no air conditioning inside anywhere. But they did great on the plane and adjusted within a few minutes of settling in to our place... I think all the calming treats helped :)
