zoom out


This is my happy place and I miss it very, very much. A coffee, a robe, a hammock. And always under the trees. We saw our house for the first time about a year ago today. We put in our offer the next day.

My house doesn’t currently look like my house. In fact, we are midway through a renovation and have been living with my parents since beginning of June. And really, there’s so much that isn’t in my control. Like probably 96 percent of life, to be honest.

Every time I start to drown in overwhelm, I zoom out. (Well, sometimes I take a few less enlightened steps prior but I always end up here.)

I picture walking down the stairs, making coffee and sitting in my yoga space to meditate.

I imagine feeling settled, secure and fully grounded here in Colorado.

I picture Angel seeing his room for the first time. Bunk beds, here we come!

I picture our first dinner party, gathered around a farm table, with people we love.

I visualize taking a whole month off someday, to road trip and explore Colorado with Matt and Angel.

And then rather than being overwhelmed with all that’s happening in the now, I access excitement and gratitude. Zooming out of the nitty gritty and to do list life for an Eagle eye view.

I may not be feeling or able to see it all come to fruition right this very second but I will and it will.

Home sweet home, in all the ways. I cannot wait.
