Seasons are changing in weather and life. Par usual there are things to grieve and things to rejoice leaving my body in a bit of a conflict, transitional turmoil. These changes are beginning to make me a bit resilient, but I've decided to pair that with space to feel. This post is a bit of insight into my heart, my loss and my gain and my next adventures.

Leaving things you love is never easy, and leaving Washington St. has been no exception to that for me. My six month dream like stay on Washington St. has come to a close and my heart aches for the things I've had to leave behind. Roads in life twist and turn and although change is on the horizon, my first home on Washington St. will forever hold memories of late night laughter, amazing people, adventures to beautiful places and morning light dancing on dark wooden floors. Washington street will always be the point in my life where the collision of wild freedom and savoring the sweet simplicity of life took place. Washington St. formed me into more of who I was created to be, for that alone I will always be thankful. Leaving Washington Street is one of the hardest things I've had to do.

But sometimes in life its important to do hard things. Currently I'm being challenged to step outside of myself. Challenged to do great things, to do things that are uncomfortable, unrestrained by space and time. I'm learning to follow and trust a creator in his creation.

Since I was a little girl I have been in love with the world. Thats what makes me come alive, that's where I find creativity and freedom. For the next year I am following the Lord as he has created space for me to pursue that passion with Him and for Him. This past season knocked me to my knees but I'm standing again stronger, wilder and more free than ever.

Cheers to new seasons, and new adventures.

Till next time.
