another leap of faith
The first leap happened February 4, 2011.
That day, after living 29 years in a housing co-op in Verdun — my hometown —, I told the co-op members I was leaving… moving out… moving on. I hadn’t found a place to live, yet. I had no clue where I’d end up. I left my spacious five-and-a-half flat at the end of June 2011.
Four months of hell ensued. In October 2011 — exhausted, sick, disillusioned —, I escaped to the mountains where my son had found me a safe haven.
The second leap happened today, February 6, 2013.
I sent my landlords an email saying I wouldn’t be renewing my lease. On July 1, 2013, I’ll be leaving my cramped one-and-a-half basement flat. I’ll be moving out… moving on. I haven’t found a place to live, yet. I have no clue where I’ll end up. All I know is that I want to live above ground. I want a view. I want a balcony. I want a place big enough to have a room with a BED. I want a place to call “home” again.
What is it with the month of February…
Coincidence?

It sounds like a very stressful time. I hope you can find a place fast. Big hugz

Hey Sophia!
Thanks for dropping by — COOL.
Yes, it’s been quite a ride these past two years. But I’ve learned a lot, and now I’m ready for the best that’s always yet to come. Oh yeah.
Hope your wish for me comes true, sweet soul
LOVE

Change is very important! Good luck finding that special place to call HOME! We were afraid we were going to lose our home this year, but fortunately we won’t be and that is an awesome feeling.

I don’t post that kind of stuff because I don’t like to worry people. Sharing it with you is different.
