Thanks so much for this blog, it real...Hi Connie! <br />Thanks so much for this blog, it really helps me not feel so "alone" on my journey. To everyone having to move out and move on... stay strong and know everything is for a reason. I had to move out of my home of 8 years at Christmas of 2011. I've been isolated in a place far away from everything, & everyone, I knew. Then, when I needed them most, my family disappeared on me. It's been very hard. But I made it through, and now things are looking up. Finally. Don't know what's next yet, but I know I'll be okay and I'm much stronger now than ever. Even though it is a struggle, I believe something better is in store, for myself, and everyone on this blog. You guys are awesome. Thanks for sharing your stories.<br />Peace,<br />Cynthia~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607277425625646946.post-25489261535522555142012-04-16T08:16:44.050+10:002012-04-16T08:16:44.050+10:00Hi Connie,

I can really relate to what you are saying, as I too am on the verge of having to leave my home, and I have no idea what is going to happen after this! We really have to dig deep, trust ourselves and the universe and believe that we will be taken care of, and that everything is happening as it is meant too!<br /><br />I love that you can see that the darker times are oppportunities to grow and learn. That is exactly what I believe too. I hope you find yourself a beautiful new home. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your thoughts here xxxconniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364315717910900260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607277425625646946.post-67071615415193743512012-04-16T06:49:09.083+10:002012-04-16T06:49:09.083+10:00Hi Rebecca, I think many of us are afraid of uncer...Hi Rebecca, I think many of us are afraid of uncertainty. I can relate to exactly what you are saying as I often try to get everything perfect before I make some form of change. But that is not how it works!! I believe that by taking the leap first, even without an idea of how it will all work out, we are being taught to TRUST in the amazing power that created us, and KNOW we are always taken care of. <br /><br />And yes, seeing external chaos as a message that we need to get quiet inside is a big thing!! Not many of us can grasp that teaching, but you describe it perfectly. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your experiences here xxxconniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364315717910900260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607277425625646946.post-3295620030470139152012-04-16T06:44:39.521+10:002012-04-16T06:44:39.521+10:00My pleasure Maureen xxMy pleasure Maureen xxconniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364315717910900260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607277425625646946.post-47881570370506260802012-04-16T06:44:15.145+10:002012-04-16T06:44:15.145+10:00Hi TK, thank you for your support.

I am doing my best to actually dig deep deeper and discover the lessons and learnings that are hidden amongst them. I agree, writing about it all actually really helps, and it is very free-ing to be able to get it all out! xxxconniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364315717910900260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607277425625646946.post-53896935842656724862012-04-16T05:05:26.705+10:002012-04-16T05:05:26.705+10:00great post as always, Connie.

I am in that uncertainty place at the moment, having to move out of our home, where we have been for a long time, not found a place to move to yet. My 8year old daughter crying last night that she was scared about leaving. As I comfort her that it is going to be ok no matter what happens, we have each other and other people we can rely on, I think I was telling myself also. <br /><br />we all go through different stages of our lives, some lighter and some are darker. I suppose that makes it more interesting and I try to appreciate the harder time as an opportunity to grow and really see and sort out the present life again.<br />thanks for reading.<br /><br /><br />www.shokuikuaustralai.com<br />http://www.shokuikuaustralia.blogspot.com<br />FACEBOOK yoko inoue shokuikuaustraliaSHOKUIKUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08476207693289613403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607277425625646946.post-6311321971060966582012-04-15T01:48:09.099+10:002012-04-15T01:48:09.099+10:00Oh yes, I can totally relate to what you just desc...Oh yes, I can totally relate to what you just described. Uncertainty kills me. I love the idea of being spontaneous, but it's just not a reality for me. I'm envious of the people who can quit their job at a moment's notice or jump on a plane and see where it takes them. But I need to know that everything's going to work out first.<br /><br />I love this quote from Sarah's blog post: "There’s no such thing as an angel wing shop." I am SO the type to go shopping for angel wings before I dare to take the leap. Right now, I'm plugging away, planning to quit my job in the summer but worrying what the heck I'm going to do for money when the time comes. I believe it's good to do the groundwork and have a back-up plan, but worrying so much really isn't necessary. Everything always works out OK in the end. And if it's not OK, it's not the end :)<br /><br />Also, I love the idea that external chaos happens for a reason, so that we can get in touch with our internal tranquillity. I never thought about it that way before. But I guess it should have been obvious, since I'm always peddling the message that happiness is a choice rather than something that comes to us when our outside circumstances are in alignment.Rebeccahttp://www.offthemat.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607277425625646946.post-41641957166411117182012-04-14T02:44:47.004+10:002012-04-14T02:44:47.004+10:00Wow!
