A new stage of the journey calls. Sometimes life reaches a plateau; it is up to you to decide if that plateau is to be home or if it is a sign to make a move. In my case--in our case--it is a sign to make that move.
My ever beautiful life took an extraordinarily ecstatic turn a few years ago. Not only did I meet the love of my life, but I also became absolutely and irrevocably alive. Sappy, maybe, but I was most assuredly blindsided by this love I now call home. If you are ever so lucky as to meet her and feel her heart, her energy and her love for humanity, you'll know that she is quite a force to be reckoned with; trust me, you'll never be the same.
Our passions in life are quite similar with different twists and quirks here and there. Our heart is set on peace and helping souls from differing cultures and backgrounds learn to listen, understand, and communicate with each other in order to create the safe and respectful dialogue that is needed for this peace.Everyone has a story, a journey, a series of events that make up who they are today, and people need to know that someone is listening to their unique story--their voice.
What does this have to do with eight million plus two? I'm so glad you finally asked! We are in the process of moving to the land of New York City. I'll finish my degree in December and we will trek to the North that is calling. She will finish her degree in NYC and we will live, work, play and love in the city of 800 languages. (For accuracy's sake, NYC currently has 8.4 million, but eight point four million plus two seemed a little too mathematical to me.)
So, we have six months to plan, to work, to finish school, to save, to pack and to see any of you who want to see us before we leave. I hold such deep gratitude for my life and my beautiful family and friends; this new level of happiness, peace and contentment with the Love I now call home is beyond belief and has taken my gratefulness to new heights.
Ciao!
you two make me happy. :)
