This is what my life looks like right now. There is no order, no control. The universe is teaching me about randomness, about letting go, about jumping into the void to see what happens. It's quite wonderful and very scary. And it's quite dizzying, hence the vertigo.
If you follow my blog, you know that in the past year, my husband and I have sold our home in Massachusetts, shed our lives of all our "stuff", and moved to Florida to embrace a warmer climate and a far friendlier community. During the past 5 months we have lived in 2 temporary homes while enjoying the summer in New England and then while searching for a house here in our new city. We've been living out of boxes and have packed, unpacked and packed 3 times. Last week, we moved into our new permanent home. This week, I am settling into my new studio space.
They say our lives change in 12 year cycles. In my case, the cycles are sometimes shorter, sometimes longer, but they are definitely real. In thinking about the chaos that controls my life right now, I suddenly realized that the last big change in my life was exactly 12 years ago when I left a corporate job to pursue my dream and started Couture Allure in 2001. Wow.
By the way,I want to thank each and every one of you who took the time to write your thoughtful and insightful comments regarding the question "Are you tired of vintage clothing?" last week. I continue to contemplate them with great interest.
