Aloha Hawaii

My daughter is really big into manifestation nowadays. Like a lot of people, she doesn't understand that you can't just manifest something, you have to actively make it happen. 

Going to Asheville was a huge jolt for me since we went in Fall and it was glorious. I'd forgotten how beautiful it is to see the trees and the fall leaves. To need to wear warmer clothes. The comfort in the season. It created such a longing in me that was overwhelming. I literally craved to move to the mainland immediately and have my final (my third) act living in a little place of my own and seeing snow again as well as spring and Fall (summer I get).

Anyway, after spiraling for a week or two I have decided to move to Decatur Illinois. It might seem like an odd choice but Decatur offers a quiet life, a small town feel, some old Americana in the downtown area. People paint it as a dying town (not actually but we'll see how bad it gets since soybeans are a big industry there), it's got a low cost of living. Apparently crime is an issue in certain neighborhoods (here also, check out Puna) (and certain areas in Hilo too) but I don't intend to live in a high crime neighborhood. I also plan to get alarms on the doors and windows.

So I'm moving. I'm manifesting and doing it. I'm unfortunately one of those people who can't sit still once I've made up my mind. I'm getting moving quotes, I'm home shopping, I'm making lists and I'm starting to make a lot of decisions.

Aloha, Hawaii. I'm glad I was here but I'll be glad to see Spring.
