Embracing Changes

I did something really scary but also liberating this week. I made a big change in my current life. Finally I had enough and felt it was time to turn the page. Someday I am going to tell you all about it but right now I can’t. It’s still too fresh – a bit like a open wound. I need to take care of the bleeding first.

It strange cause once you make the decision is like everything falls into it’s right place. Naturally I have been thinking about it for a while, making pro and con lists in my head. Trying to follow my head (or the scared voice in my head) more than my stomach.
Then one night I dreamed about eating poo, it didn’t smell like it or taste bad – it was like my whole mouth was full of chocolate but I woke up with the feeling that it was poo.
Scary and yes so weird. But also probably a sign. I had enough.

So I ended something and started fresh.
I bought this little Joseph head as a – wow- I – am – oh – so – brave – present to my self.
I have been looking at him since way before Christmas.
Now was the time.

I had a dream just like that a few years ago, and it helped me to make a decision to turn a page (or a few pages) and move back to europe…among other things. I’m glad I’m not the only one who has had such a strange dream, and I’m glad that you are doing what you need to do to be happy!

Isabelle: Jessy I am also so happy I am not the only one with a dream like that. But as it turns out. It always feels like you are the only one but you never are!

Hola….Hi…..Hej!
A few years ago a friend once told me that if you have a hard time “breathing” you need to make a change… I did! It was the hardest thing and the best thing that I could of done. Wherever you get your strength from keep it close to you so you have it when you need it. Chin up Isabelle….

I listed to a lot of 80’s music here are two of my favorites from Love and Rockets and The Smiths

Isabelle: Oh so many times I have wished for a music score to my life. Thanks!

[Oh, and since others are sharing music, too, here’s a current favorite that I found very soothing during a hard time recently. If you happen to like Elvis impersonators (totally unrelated to the tune or text but in the video), you’ll probably like it even more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBpkRaF8iSY ]

Can we fix it? – Yes, we can! ;-)
The best in time in life is realising that you don’t have to accept circumstances, that hurt you!
I’ve been through that and after thinking/talking to many different people/crying/ further education and feeling really bad, I took my things and changed: appartement, job, town and even some friends.
Sure, all my problems (like less self-confidance) moved with me, but I had to open my heart, to get to know new friends and colleagues, deal with loneliness, invite new chances into my life… AND IT’S THE BEST THING I EVER DID!
You can’t spend your whole live “indoors”: go outside and see with open eyes, what live is really like. Look after yourself, listen to your feelings and be surprised: there are a lot of things, that you wouldn’t expect!
So, be proud of yourself: now something new will beginn!!!!!! Enjoy!

Isabelle: Anja thanks for charing and its always best knowing you are not alone! Hope everything will go even better!

;-) I like my new life with a lot of new experiences, new friends and very good old friends, who are still with me, even if there are lots of kilometers between us… Life is so much richer now (and I’m so proud that I did all that steps).
I hope that your decisions will have the same effect (and its good to read, that there’s still love in the air, someone special who takes care of you, supports you while you are searching for a new way!)

Keep on moving!!!!
