So here it is, another new year. But for me, this year brings with it an entirely different start. Not only did I spend the past two weeks driving across Canada, I also moved all of my belongings with me. I now live precisely 5500 kms away from my family, friends and home for the past 25 years.
Now I know that this sounds crazy, but love makes us do crazy things... And believe me, I am happier than I have ever been! I now live 10 minutes from the ocean. What more could I ask for really? I have a lead on a good job, the town that we live in is quaint, and quiet, a breath of fresh air from living in a big city. On my first night in my new house I decided to stay up late and unpack. When I woke up the next day, I felt like I'd been living out here my entire life. Also, until I find a job, I have endless hours to read, write, photograph and organize my new home.
This has truly been the most refreshing start to a new year.

Hey Mel!!
I wish you all the best in your future out east.

I am envious of your free spirit.
Thank you both so much! I cannot express how much it means to have people support me through this huge change!
Your comments are very humbling...
that has to be so cool, to just pick up and start anew.
Hey Kat! Yes, I am about as far east as you can get (Antigonish, Nova Scotia). From here to Cape Breton its about a 20 minute drive. I absolutely love it out here. I was never a big fan of living in the city. I literally jumped at the oportunity to move out here, and I haven't looked back since! Actually, as we were leaving Edmonton, I made a promise to myself that I would never move back... There are far too many beautiful places to live!
I will gladly add you to my favorite blogs, and I've been dying to read a new book...
Your comment came at the perfect time!
