Underwater Adventures:

Jeremy and I were able to do a few beautiful motion studies before the move started.

I’m so happy we took this time before the chaos to enjoy the water. We have been working hard to create a space to create for us and for you.

Jeremy and Deb moved the last of the big stuff today. We have 2 tropical storms heading our way so im not sure when we will be able to shoot under water again. The water gets too cloudy when it storms.

Looking back on these serene moments pulls me through the harder days.

I’ve been feeling mentally grounded since I’ve been staying in the new house.

A couple of weeks ago I took a break from drinking and that seems to be helping my overall health but I do miss my Gin and Whiskey.

I think I’ll continue on this course for a minute as it is sitting well with me.

I’m waking up thankful and going to sleep feeling blessed. I guess that’s all I’ve ever wanted to feel. It amazing how having a home of your own can give back so much that was missing.

I grew up with housing insecurities and it has been a reoccurring trauma cycle. I’ve been unable to put down roots anywhere because of my fear of losing my home for one reason or another. I’ve lived out of suitcases, boxes or bins for my entire life. Over the last 10 years I’ve had money to provide housing security but not the mental capacity to do it.

This home is my very first home purchase for myself. I have a place in Illinois but my folks live there. That is a lovely place as well. Humble but beautiful out in the country. But This is different. This feels romantic and full of love and warm feelings and good smells. Like a home should. And it’s still fairly close to the water. About 8 minutes.

Thank you all for helping us achieve this together. I’m excited to see what the future brings for us here in our new home.

But for now, I’m thinking of being back in the water. 💗
