Two Years In AZ

Hello Reader,

Two years ago today I took a one-way flight from Maine to Arizona.

Life sure looks different these days compared to when I moved out here.

New job, new apartment, started school, got a cat, and I've changed a lot while carving out this new life.

I never would have guessed that this is where I would be - and I mean "where" in all ways, shapes, and forms. But, no regrets. I am happy and content with all that has happened in the past two years. I have met so many incredible people and had amazing opportunities since moving out here.

Yet, I feel like that's just the tip of the iceberg for what this place has to offer me. I don't think I would have consciously chosen to move to AZ, but this happenstance approach has really been working for me.

Thanks for reading!

Lame Yoga Epiphany

Hello Reader,

Yoga tonight was awesome. I think I finally worked my way into whatever I am holding in my right hip, not sure what it was but damn those emotions flowed.

I found it quite difficult to make my way out of corpse pose tonight ...

... but when I finally started moving again, I had the oddest thought...

"I live here."

My inner monologue was like, "duh, Molly."

I was almost in tears as I came to a seated position to end the practice over the realization that I live here.

Clearly, it meant more then just live here (it's been almost two years, obviously I am aware I live here.) I think more specifically, it is that I have a life here. I am carving out a niche and I am in complete control. I do what I want when I want because I know what I need. Sounds rather self-centered, but I think it is more self-centering which is allowing me to become who I am.

That being said, I have carved a very full life for me here, perhaps to full??

Oh well, I'm happy.

I live here :-)

Thanks for reading,
