I don't know that we can strip it quite all the way down to clothes and computers, but even just what you can fit in a small U-Haul would be pretty cool. How do you deal with furniture and the usual home accessories (dishes, linens, etc.)? Do you rent a furnished place? Rent the furniture? Craigslist/Freecycle/garage sales? I've had the thought before that actually re-furnishing your house that way might actually be cheaper than moving all your stuff!

I see you as a butterfly who has left her cocoon far below as she climes to ever greater heights. Hi Kristi, how interesting that you see yourself that way.

I definitely feel like a caterpillar now, but I am on my way to the cocoon! Maybe we all have to be caterpillars before we can appreciate the true freedom of being a butterfly.

New people, new town, new adventures - for I chose this for myself and have been in contact with the most fabulous of people!!! Yes the choice is ours and transformations do happen with the choices we make! In love and light, Nancy Love the way you allow people to think my friend Jonathan,

Then he needs to rest and become aware of his new reality before he can fly. Without the struggle he won't be strong enough for his initial flight.
