Sorry for the brief interruption of posts. I don't need to explain to you, dear readers, how life is. Busy. Seems time rushes by and we lead such harried lives. I'm excited to announce that I will be moving (yes, again). After several years of transition, unemployment and illness, good fortune has smiled on me. I have been given an opportunity to feel more settled. I will fill you in on all the details at a later date.
As I look back on the last couple of difficult and tumultuous years, I can clearly see that I am always taken care of by God, Higher Power or the Cosmos, whatever you prefer to call it. I can also clearly see that everything happens for a reason. Even the difficult things. I am a better, stronger and more peaceful person.

I am leaving my beloved Cleveland again. I wouldn't be surprised if I return one day. I definitely will be visiting. There are exciting things happening in Cleveland. In the meantime, I have been purging like crazy. I have been ruthless in my editing, and yet it seems there is still so much stuff. As you know, I've never really been a pack rat or a hoarder. I like a clean, simple aesthetic. I'm trying harder than I ever have to live simpler. The funny thing is that the simpler I make my life, the happier I am. I still love beautiful things and, of course, am obsessing about decorating my new lovely, small, humble apartment. And, of course, I will be sharing all my musings on simplicity and decor with you.
One of the things I purged was my boxes of journals. I had been keeping journals for the last 20 years. As I looked back on them, I saw destructive and repetitive patterns that, I am proud to say are no longer a part of my life. I am no longer a victim, and am living an authentic life with integrity. It felt great letting them go. Closing one chapter of my life and welcoming the next.
I will be offline for a short time. But stay tuned, I will be asking Jessie to guest blog again (although she is busy too!). I have lots of interesting things to report when I return, such as thoughts on organic decor, uber simplicity and new art projects. In the meantime just for fun, I'll leave you with some fab chicks on fab red sofas.

The always fabulous Kate Winslet. Is it just me, or does she keep getting better and better? Okay, let's balance this with a cute guy.
The chair is not red, but it is fab. And designer extraordinaire, Antonio Ballatore, looks fab in it.
P.S. Have you ever watched Clean House? I've been watching it marathon style on Netflix while packing and organizing. I love the team's campy sense of humor. Designer Mark Brunetz and I share the love of clutter-free simplicity. He is such a hottie and I just learned that he is a Cleveland native! I'd love to meet him!
Take care, dear readers! See you soon. xxoo

I have never seen Clean House, I will check it out. (I love Netflix!) I will probably do a post for you that hopefully will inspire your next decorating venture. :) Yes, everything happens for a reason. I also gave up (most) of my journals when I moved across the country. I felt they were clutter that I just didn't need to hold on to anymore. I still have my memories.
Omg, I could never get rid of my journals even though they horrify me when I read about what a jerk I was, lol.
I am dying to know what's happening! Don't tease us! Where are you going? Whatever it is, I'm so happy that you have gotten some good luck. I think things are turning around for a lot of people.
I just put some pictures of my kitchen-in progress on the blog. Don't know if you saw these on Facebook.
