Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end



You never really leave the place you love. You take part of it with you and leave part of you there. I don't remember where I read this recently but it certainly stuck!


The last month has been a roller coaster of emotions. Ranging from the stress of off-loading most of my worldly possessions, excitement of seeing family and friends in Texas, anxiety of future adventures I will embark on in the coming year, to the sadness I feel for leaving behind friends, furry animals and my life in Switzerland. Whew! It's been exhausting!


I was so touched by the outpour of well wishes and bon voyage invites to dinners and catch ups not to mention the beautiful cards and thoughtful gifts I received. I imagine I will be homesick for awhile.


It was apropos that I spent my last days in Switzerland back in Basel city where it all began almost 8 years ago. I remember the day I arrived like it was yesterday. My life has been forever changed by this experience. I cried all the way to Frankfurt the day I left.

I am three weeks into my Texas stay and I am still trying to find my rhythm. It will come, I am sure of it. When I feel out of control, I like to compartmentalize things so I bought some packing cubes.


I'm practicing living out of a suitcase, it's not easy!
