| Every month this year, I’ve had a one word theme that I’ve created goals around for the month. October was “Slow”, which is almost laughable considering the schedule I happened to have. I started the month by flying to San Fransisco for 12 hours for a work conference. Three days later I flew across the world for my honeymoon in Italy. It was a whirlwind of adventure and delicious food. The weekend after we got back, we moved from our suburban apartment to one in the city. And then of course my job keeps me running around and busy during the week! I was forced to slow down in a couple of ways though, one of them being catching a cold on the flight back home that had me down for a few days. The other was the process of moving into our new place. This is the first time in my life where I haven’t been able to pack up, move, and get all set up in a single weekend. We’re at the stage in life where we’ve accumulated enough “stuff” that it takes a longer to reorganize, and we’re in a place that is much smaller that we’ve had to purge a LOT. I’ve had to be okay with the moving and settling process taking longer than I’m used to. That being said, the adventure of living in the city is already worth it. We’re each getting an hour and a half back of our weekdays from not having to commute as long. And I have a feeling the living smaller and more simply will fuel some blog posts that I’m excited about. And now onto the rest of the newsletter! |
