By the time you read this, our move cross country to a new home (and life) will be in full swing. Lee has sold half the stuff we own and my big, purple notebook full of notes and steps is being referenced every few hours to check off the to-do list. (I’ve tongue-in-cheek named it “The Notebook” after the 2004 film.) I am extremely detail oriented. I have tried to think of every possible last thing we need to do to get from here to there, but there will probably be things I missed (cancel, clear, delete.) A big shout out to Elaine Hurd who saved me at least a day’s worth of hard research by mapping out the trip stop-by-stop for us.
I can’t help but think of my life as having been like a 3-act play (so far.) Act 1: “Growing up in the South.” Act 2: “Adulthood in Denver.” And now Act 3: “Something something in California.” I am calling it that because I’m not quite sure what that “something” is going to be. I’m not even close to retiring. Neither is Lee. But the main reason for the move is to go ahead and put us where we want to be when retirement comes along. The move also comes out of the pandemic. We are one of those couples you hear about who came to a lot of realizations about what really mattered to us in life during this whacked out time on planet Earth. It feels like it’s taken forty-forevers. Lee and I took down our Christmas trees in 2020 knowing it was a very real possibility that we wouldn’t be putting them back up again in this house.
Now we don’t even own this house.
It’s not something I talk about much, but in my teens and twenties I spent a good bit of time on stage. I loved performing and I was really good at it. Then I was off the stage for a long, long time until my career with Hay House began and then I was back on the stage. So when I think about the future, I just keep thinking of myself as having left the stage from Act 2 and that I’m now standing in the wings waiting for my time to return to the stage for Act 3. It feels like the act is to be completely ad-libbed. I’m excited, but I’m also very nervous. Will I do well? Will the crowd like my performance? Will I be happy with my own work?
That’s all metaphorical of course – including the part about the crowd. The real questions are “Will we be happy there?” “Will we like our neighbors (and will they like us?)” and “Will we see this as having been the right decision down the road?”
Only time will tell.
But for now, my house is getting empty, the rooms look weird, and I feel emotions rising up about walking away from this home we’ve lived in for nearly 10 years. A new adventure awaits for Lee, Riley, and me. A new life. Act 3.
And as they say, “The show must go on.”

The Fear of Missing Out
Except for the four years that I attended college in Oxford, Ohio, I have lived my entire life in the shadow of mountains. I grew up in the glorious presence of the Smokey Mountains and then lived 24 years staring west at the Rocky Mountains. Comparing the two was...

Blessings for your move and new life.
I wish you all the happiness you deserve.
These past 2 and a half years were very hard on me and I meet you with your wonderful laugh+. I did well with Jophiel and Ariel disconnected with Sadalphon and got lost with Haniel, can’t still reach my Spiritual Team and silly me I cried a lot. I have faith I think don’t know what to do. Oh, well! I am like that for since 50 years, lost…
I am so glad you know your way. Much love and light
As you begin this new journey, know that where ever you are, all the love from all of us follows. Act 3 will rock the house to the rafters. But before you close that door on your old house ask the angels and the house to bless the new owners with love and happiness, no matter how many new owners follow your departure. Be safe on your travels. Angels will fly beside you.
Best of luck to you and your family on your new adventure. There is no better time than now to get to where you feel in your hearty should be. Change is a blessing. In the end, even if it does not work out as anticipated, it is opening another door for whatever may be in store.
All the best with the new part of your journey. I am sure it will all work out for you.
God Bless you, Lee, and Riley! Wishing you every happiness!❤️ Safe Travels ❤️
Sending many blessings for much happiness in your new home. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
Goodluck & all the very best to you all in your new home & state. God Bless you.
Mowing is fantastic. Embrace every moment. Don’t forget to clear the energy in the new house and in the one you are leaving.
The third act of your life will be formidable
Happy mowing
Love Malene
Blessings with your move! I was surprised to read you were moving TO California because I thought you were already living in Cali and moving to Orlando, Florida to be closer to the House of Mouse! I know your Angel Team will make sure this move is in your (all 3 of you) highest good. I look forward to seeing your third act (and many curtain calls).
It is good to move and change. Life will bring you both happinesss and joy.
Be safe travellers beautifulls xx

Moving is an adventure stressful,but exciting,as soon as I moved in to my shared accommodation room ,I smudged it with Sage and Frankincense,and broke off some of my Smokey Quartz Crystal and dropped it down the laundry tub,we had been having a few blockages with the plumbing thought that may protect the emotions of me and the new set up with new flatmates.Huge move after being in a place for 10 years,good luck and fortune I wish for you and your family.Everyone is a Gypsy it seems since 2015 for me.Moved 3 times,one interstate in a year and then Co-Vid, feels like we all have had our Tower moments these past couple of years.Clear out the old bring in the new!!!

My foster grandfather use to say a house is a house but it’s the people and things in the house that makes it a home✨
So your new house will become a beautiful home once you get all settled away ❤️
