It’s been a month since I pulled out of my driveway for Nashville. Just reflecting a little tonight. I remember knowing in my gut I wanted to go but as I finished packing my car and started saying goodbye to my family I felt scared & asked myself what the heck am I doing?
One of the biggest lessons I’ve ever learned is to go with your gut, so I did. I ignored the voices in my mind and went with the tiny one in my heart.
I remember doubting a lot of things- like what if my roommates suck? And now, I smile to think how Sherry is like a mom to me and calls me “baby” and “miss Kami” and yells “love love” when she leaves for work and how I came home Friday night to cake and presents and roommates singing happy birthday as I walked in the door. Only in Nashville are your roommates professional musicians. 😉
So many doubts were erased as I kept putting one foot in front of the other, steps of faith no doubt, for nothing is a guarantee.
I sat at the edge of the lake Sunday night. Funny to this PNW girl to see turtles just sitting on a log. 😉 You don’t see that back home. But you don’t see a lot of you don’t set out for it. If you don’t walk out of your door, get out of the car, comfort zone, get out of your mind. Look beyond the noise. Ignore the voices in your head.
Life can be SO complicated but when you take time to find peaceful moments- lakes and trees and sunsets, hear birds singing and feel the breeze on your face, you realize... life is really very simple. If only we all could always live as though we were at the lake. ☺️
So, there you have my monthly Nashville report. And that is the Puget Sound hanging on my wall.
