Keep moving forward 

  
The time has come…
This week has been full of anxiety ridden un-knowns. These are the exact moments I have been trying to rally myself into. Loading up our 10×15 storage unit of most of our belongings. Knowing that a huge chunk of the things that I have looked at everyday for the the majority of my motherhood are now going to be sitting here while we “float” and make the best of a situation. A situation that we are turning into a blessing….a push into the right direction if you will. 
Let me just talk about the scary part first. I think over and over “Are we doing the right thing for our kids?” Which no one will ever know the true answer because that same question varies from parent to parent reguardless of a situation. My answer is what my heart and what my gut tell me. Our kids don’t know how much we are in over our heads these last few months. How I have laid in bed at nights in tears feeling like I have failed. Thats just emotions though. The certainty of it is that we have not failed, we have learned that failure is nothing more than a chance to revise your strategy. We are just in revision. 
We have gone through the waves of this adventue in stride. We sold a good portion of the things that no longer serve a purpose for us. Although looking at the size of our storage I am thinking we didnt sell enough. We have sat down and brainstormed some goals that we can work towards the next few months. We have added to our family bucket list of adventures, so we can continue to check things off. We have laughed, smiled, cried, and embraced all this change that is about to go down specifically these next two days while we finish emptying our house, which ironically we had only moved into a year ago this week. 
I imagine a place of peace, and comfort at the end of this. I have learned so much already. I have learned to trust the process of life that is forever changing. To take people, their intentions, their opinions, and most of all their actions with a grain of salt. People aren’t against you; they are for themselves. I have learned to be unapologetically me, to be authentic, to perform all of my lifes duties with all of my soul. To be open to whatever comes next, and to not ALWAYS have the answer, or have it all figured out, but to just keep moving forward. 

 
Just move forward…..words to live by. 
As always, I look forward to writing more, and you reading more tidbits and pieces of my soul. I appreciate all of the love and encouragment that my family has recieved during this time of growth
Ciao, 

Amara
