Clarity at the crossroads.

My theme for the past year -- my quest, if you will -- has been clarity.  And, although it's probably safe to say that there's always room for more clarity, I feel that I have a lot more of it now than I did a year ago.  I have a very clear sense of having come home to myself.

Good thing, too -- because suddenly, I really have almost no idea where else my home will be.

My partner, the one who has been the primary wage-earner in our household, was laid off at the end of last month.  Depending on where (or when) he finds a new job, there are many places we may end up living.  We may stay right where we are.  We very well may not.  The uncertainty, the not-knowing, is hard.  We're all doing our best to keep doing the next thing, to keep calm and strong and mutually supportive, but one way or another, we're all feeling the stress.

Here's the thing, though...if I hadn't recovered such a deep sense of who I am and what I want, I would be feeling a lot more stress.

I have a vision, a passion, a clear sense of myself.  And that vision, thank goodness, is portable.  No matter where we go, there I'll be.

Yay for portable visions! At the moment, as I work on my business, I was surprised to find a lot of stuff coming up about Home, and your post beautifully resonates with what I've been exploring.
Also, good wishes for smooth transitioning!
