Changing our surroundings can change our attitudes…or is it that once we change our attitudes, we’re compelled to change our environment to match? Either way, I found a home to better match my heart.

I recently wrote about finding joy in getting back together with Finn. Our life together is a gift that keeps on giving, and recently, in addition to discovering newfound comfort in each other, we’re finding comfort in our new digs. We’ve switched things up and are enjoying life a bit further away from where we work and play in downtown Syracuse, but in a GORGEOUS apartment such as I’ve never had.

Finn and I are preparing for a larger move to New York City, but in the interim, we couldn’t have made a better choice than to trade up our austere one-bedroom in a forgotten neighborhood for something we can spread out and feel safer in.

Our modern two-bedroom is full of light and love. Now I look back at the old place and think DARKNESS. Not only were the windows few and dingy, but it was there that I struggled with a much more negative mindset. As I came out of that place of fear and anger, and fell back in love with Finn, it became clear a new home would complement the journey of growth we were on.

Saving for NYC is still a priority, but spending a little money on comfort and safety in the interim– even if that means a slight delay in the move – feels like a well-deserved gift that we can revel in together (literally!).

I’m curious about my readers’ attitudes about “home.” What does it mean to you? Are you comfy where you are? If not, where are you headed? My hope for you is a safe and happy home full of abundance. May we all invite that into our lives through conscious choices that acknowledge our own unique set of needs and resources.
