In August, when the divorce with my husband and father of my two boys is final, Ill be free of all legal attachments to a dwelling. The house we jointly own will be passed to his name solely. In addition to that, the lease for the apartment Teije and I share will be up at the end of August. So... The issue of space and attachment has been on my mind quite a bit lately. Ive been tied to dwellings since I was 19. Now, I have an opportunity to be genuinely nomadic, staying in different environments of my choosing - no strings attached, except for the bonds formed in the relationships where multiple beings share space. My kids will be safe at the house theyve always been in - in Jasons case, being born in that house. Their dad will be with them there, and Ill be with them the same way I am now, at a variety of times and in a variety of ways. I continue to be a homeschooling mama, and the time I spend with my kids is potent time, indeed. We talk together extensively, connecting deeply, as well as studying and learning things together. Im considering being nomadic during this 38th year Im in. Im interested in having a variety of experiences, experiences that will help me figure out exactly what I want to build in my 39th year, when Id like to become a homemaker again, claiming a space and operating it as my own. I spent a lot of time as a homemaker and host in days gone by, engaging in a wide variety of home-based activities when my kids were young. I really liked that time in my life, and I look forward to building a home of my own again. In the meantime, Ill bless the homes of the people I stay with, just as Ive always done when Ive gone visiting. XZanthia and PJ Medina, Im thinking more about perhaps coming out to Riverboat for a few days - maybe a week - to see what the vibe is as a living situation. Im also interested in other people who have unique living situations to offer. Eventually, Id like to build (or join) an intentional living community. Its something Ive wanted to do since my kids were babies. Fortunately, I have a lot of friends who are into the same thing. If things align for it, lets build together! And... Thank you to those who have offered your homes to me! I know that Ill never lack a roof over my head and that Ill always be welcome to make my home with some of you at any time. Im immensely grateful that I have so many relationships in my life where we share so much with each other, including our homes. Both the outer and inner recesses of our Selves... Thank you Anne Marie Girolami and Teije Brands (Harmless Npc) for sharing your homes with me as you have! I have been greatly blessed in each of them and in many ways. I hope to continue to share blessings in spaces we share together. Im also looking forward to sharing space with others. Im ready for a new venture - a venture that brings me home in a way I havent experienced yet. So yeah... Those are some of my thoughts this afternoon. Please pass this message on to anyone you know who has a cool place to stay in the Tampa area. Ill be keeping a base in Riverview with the kids. So, I dont want to be too far from that area since Ill be driving most days to spend time with them. Preferably within a half hour drive from Riverview, though I would consider further if the experience being somewhere is worth the extra time... XZanthia, you run a pretty solid artistic outfit up there in Land OLakes, and its very family-friendly. A fabulous combination for what Im looking for! A bit further than Id prefer, but worth looking into... You do an amazing job with your work! *recognizes you artist-to-artist, visionary-to-visionary, creator-to-creator, potent woman to potent woman* If any of you are interested in living in an artistic community, consider The Natural Meeting Place - Riverboat Nudist Resort.
