This weeks blog recalls a memory- a memory of my first house move many years ago. My parents and I literally moved just across the village, it was a hot sunny day in July and in fact my birthday. I can't remember having much to do with that move except feeling a touch of sadness in leaving my old home - the one I was born in, mixed with a feeling of excitment in having a new home with a much bigger bedroom!!
I spent the day looking after my 2 young cousins who at that time lived in the village - being my birthday they had bought me a present, a blue cheesecloth check shirt which tied at the waist - bit of an age give away eh? I loved that shirt, think I wore it until it fell apart!
This week I moved house AGAIN.... this time it was my 19th house move. House moves that have taken me to London, Dublin, back to Wales and now Home, (all of which you will get to read about in future blogs)... Yep I have after 25 years returned to my home village and it is a great feeling to be back..
As I have in every move, I felt a touch of sadness in leaving my old home and again it was mixed with a feeling of excitment in having a new home. As I unpacked in my kitchen boxes last night I found items which have linked me to all of my moves and remembered them all with fondness. I tend to de-clutter on a regular basis which does help when you are moving around. My new home is filled with a positive energy which feels right for the exciting future which lies ahead.
Through all my moves I have found change to be re-freshing and uplifting, a way to dust off the cobwebs and take another step forward on my journey. Change is not something to be feared but to be embraced as a positive in life, without change life becomes stagnent and boredom can set in.
My moves were changes that I felt I had to make, some say I was brave but it is not a question of bravery but belief... Belief in yourself that whatever choices you make if you make them using your intution and if they arrive firstly as that feeling deep inside then they are right for you.
There are many changes that can be made to everyday life which can ensure that the soul is lifted. You don't have to make huge changes, just a change in routine, eating habits or the decision to have more time for yourself, any changes however large or small will always have an effect on your life.
Remember if you make a change and it doesn't live up to your expectations this is not a failure of the change - it is merely an opportunity that didn't work out!
This weekend take some time out for yourself - think about any changes you would like to make, do they feel right? will they make you smile? - have you been putting off that need for change?
Be inspired and motivated to do something for you this week - Be brave you can do it....
Have a great weekend and join me next Friday for another memory which again will lead me to share with you the part it has played on my journey to the positive life I live today.
