This past year I ended up moving six times. I won't bore you with the details, nor do I care to relive the experience. But I would like to share what I learned. I realized that being a gypsy is not such a great thing. Although I want to explore, travel and learn, I think I can do this without having to move my stuff, or put it in storage, and worry whether I'll have a roof over my head next month. I have come to realize that I need a home base, a place to keep what matters, and a place to come home to when I need a break from my travels. Too much time and energy was expended moving and finding places to stay. This is time and energy I need for other things.
So after six moves, I decided to rent an unfurnished apartment. I have a year lease and could certainly stay here longer if I need to. This is a sort of garage apartment, but more like a carriage house on a family's property. The living area is upstairs with 4 large skylights. The light coming in is amazing and will be perfect for me to work on projects and study. I'm alone, but know that there are people around. I'm in the woods, but with the ocean only a few minutes a way. There are beaches, places to walk, golf, bike ride, and the yoga studio is only 5 minutes away. While some of my friends think I should go back to city life, I just don't feel drawn to that at the moment. So, for now this feels like a good place to land.
