Recap Of My Past Year...

In 2023 was living in London, Ontario and was ready for a move. I was deciding between Toronto, Vancouver, San Diego or London, England.

My intuition guided me to Vancouver and things started lining up to make this move possible. I did something I never thought I would ever do. I sold or donated literally all of my things except 2 suitcases, ohhh and my skii’s. I compressed everything I had on paper or photos into digital formatted documents and I kept only things I used daily and clothing that I loved. It is funny as I had already been doing this slowly over the year, going through my life and simplifying it. All lining me up and preparing me for this move. I would go slowly room by room auditing what I had (which at the time wasn’t a lot) and reducing it to only things I truly used and loved. It wasn’t always easy to audit my life, but the other side of it brought me so much joy and I felt to much lighter that it was worth it. I met so many amazing people that purchased my items and my weekly trips to donate items at the salvation army left me feeling good inside. I can honestly say to this day, there is not one thing that I gave away or sold that I wish I had now. I didn’t realize at the time, but I this process was cleansing myself in preparation for a new start, a new me.

In the beginning of January 2023, I was chosen to be on a podcast series called the Beauty of Life, where I shared my day to day life. On one of the podcast shows I talked about how I decided to give away all my things and step into the unknown of the future and my life in Vancouver. This is truly the beauty of life, when you step into the scary unknown you never know what surprises are around the corner. It turns out the podcast host was looking for a listener gave her container of belongings away to. When I told her what I was doing, she instantly gifted me her container. We had both manifested each other. It is just like they say, your whole life can change in a moment. I inherited over 50 boxes of all of her beautiful belongings. I went from having very little to overwhelmed with so many items in my tiny 500 square foot apartment. I moved slow and gave myself permission to have belongings again. I kept what I loved and donated or sold the rest. I still to this day find it so amazing how everything fit and matched so perfectly in the space. A space that I signed for before actually seeing it in person ❤️.

I honestly thought I was going to live in Vancouver for a while (5 years) if not forever. Lol, I laugh because I never expected after only a few months of being in Vancouver that my time would be up and I would be intuitively called to move back to Ontario. Over my years of moving around I have learned to not resist these nudges. I have learned that if I resist them it usually leads to making my life more challenging than it needs to be. So I packed up majority of my new possessions and headed back to Ontario, where I am now, slowly figuring out my next moves…
