home

i've thought of and written a bunch of versions of this post...of how i've been feeling about returning home and starting over...and i don't think i have quite processed it enough to put it into words. but as the minute draws ever nearer, my emotions are flooding, brimming, swelling. i've sometimes had to stuff them back in because i'm at work, or in public, or whatever. but soon, i will finally have the peace and privacy to just let everything out. and i will have time to properly reflect on the 10 year chapter of my life that has brought me to a whole new awareness and appreciation of myself as a woman.

but all the heavy stuff aside, i'm excited. and confident that i'm doing exactly the right thing. and THAT feels good.

About a year and a half ago, I was in your exact situation, with a bit of a twist. I wasn't returning home; I was leaving it to come here to New York. It definitely caused and still causes mucho reflection on how much I grew as a woman and a person during my 13 years in Chicago. Let those emotions flow, baby!
