Same Beach, New Views

For those of you who didn’t know me before this project, I lived in Columbus for a little under a year in 2017.

To be completely transparent, I didn’t make that move for a job, a relationship, or any reason at all. I moved there because I was lost – I didn’t have a clue as to who I wanted to be. I moved there and did NOTHING.

Sure I went on loads of interviews for jobs I knew I didn’t really want.
Sure, I cried – a lot. I’m a crier.

And as most of you know, it was during that time when my best friend offered me the job of a lifetime at Abode – and so I moved back to Defiance.

I spent the next two years finding myself. I dove deep and grabbed onto all of those creative threads that have woven me into this incredible woman typing these words now. I rebuilt my family, purchased my own home (SOLO), and made a beautiful little life for Lou and myself.

But I know that I’m not finished growing. I’m not finished learning. There is even more of myself that I need to discover.

And so when the opportunity presented itself to me last week to fulfill a position in Columbus, OH, I only hesitated for a moment, and then I took it.

There are so many things I will miss about this little town, which holds some of the most important things in my life. The beauty of my current outlook, however, is that I don’t have to give those things up in order to begin this new adventure.

I can’t wait to share this new chapter with all of you.
