Just wait and listen – your answer will come.

And, in regards to a man, I’ve been told that it is just as easy to fall madly in love with a very wealthy ferrari-driving man, as it is to fall in love with a funny and loving non-wealthy one. I tell my husband that next time it will be the ferrari one.
well, maybe not.
I’m sorry you’re struggling through all these changes – change isn’t always easy.

Give yourself the time and space to breathe and find peace, and the right answer will come to you. I find that fall and winter (especially) are good contemplating times. I’ve made most of my big life-changing decisions in the spring, after a winter’s worth of thinking–and not thinking. Te answer will come to you, if you can remain still long enough to hear it.

Well, having lived in 2 of the places you’re considering, I can say that MV wins out over Texas. I laughed to read that NO one suggested TX. It’s hot, yes, but it does have its good points, too. I’m sure you’ve already thought of getting a part-time job to support your staying there. And does MV high school have an ag program where a student could help you? (I’m sorry if you already have that and I missed reading that). My parents lived in NJ and TX and then lived their dream of living at MV (in West Tisbury!) for 6 years. They were very happy. Of course, what’s not to love about that beautiful place (except the expensiveness of it). Give it a try, sort out your feelings, then have a Plan B if it doesn’t work out.

Susan, this has been a rough summer for you. I hope you are taking good care of yourself – always easier said than done.

I don’t have anyone for you to date, and I can’t evaluate where would be the best place for you to live, but whether you are fleeing or nesting we will be rooting for you.

Follow your heart first Susan, if being surrounded by family grounds you and comforts you, then that is where you need to be. Having ended a 19 year relationship this summer, I know how tough putting “me” first can be. I hope your heart and your head finds PEACE and HAPPINESS.

Remember … breathe.

You must be strong to have carried all the burdens of the last few months. I’d be willing to bet that by this time next year you will be in a “good” place…..wherever that happens to be. (I’ve been there, done that!) There are good things coming your way.

Hi Susan,
Just wanted to write and say how sorry I am to hear this. I know how awful breakups can be even without the complications of children and animals. You’re in my thoughts and meditations (I’m not really much of a prayer…). Take care and do whatever you have to keep sane.

The Nest/Flee thing. Yes. Exactly. You nailed it. Me too. I heard you mention this, but it wasn’t until I read your post, but I’ve always had that weird little dichotomy going on, and probably always will.

Well, if you do get to that point, the infamous Mark is looking for backup goddesses…
