For My Clients

I've been talking about moving to Virginia for a while now, 3 years to be more specific. But what I haven't talked a lot about is the bitter part of the sweet.

How does someone process having a group of people who are their constants? People who aren't friends, or family or co-workers but equally as special. Where do you put them in your mind and heart when it's time to say "good bye"?

Seriously, I'm asking because I don't know yet.

What I do know is that there are many of you I've had the pleasure to share so many milestones with. I've watched families grow, I've been there as they got smaller. I've felt your babies in your bellies, witnessed strength and resilience through chemo and radiation therapy. Marriages, retirements, graduations and divorces. We've had raw conversations about miscarriages, sexuality, mental health, addiction and so much more. You were there from the time I was a baby massage therapist working in the basement of a chiropractor's office. You cheered me on as I grew, learned, got married. You supported me when I started bringing Sailor into work and through the heartbreak of losing her.

For 15 years one of my constants was the love of my work and the support of my clients.

But like all good relationships, you've been excited for me when I discuss my ideas and plans for the farmstead, even though my gain is a sacrifice to you.

Your little "I'm so happy for you, but sad for me." whispers haven't been ignored. I'm sad too. Very sad and still not ready to say goodbye.

So because I am stubborn, I'm choosing not to. I'm starting this website and this blog for you, for us. I want you here with me because the idea of losing you isn't fun at all. I want you to have the opportunity to continue to share your lives with me, and I will do the same in return. The good, the bad, the ugly crying.

In the beginning, you'll get to share in our "getting there" journey. Everything we've done and will do to get onto our farmstead. Then we'll change, because "we're here". That pivotal point where I leave here, and go there... but not to leave, to grow. I invite you to stay with me, just differently, for as long as you'd like. Because for some of you it'll be weird. 15 years and then it was different, but it won't be goodbye until we're ready. It'll simply be... Ta Ta For Now

I dedicate this website to each of you. May it be a place of gratitude, grounding, humor, curiosity, growth and adventure. Without you I wouldn't be living my dream. Thank you for such an amazing gift, the gift of fulfillment and happiness.
