A living room in a Paris apartment
In a recent conversation with my mother-in-law I was able to hear about the joy and recognition of the important life change that comes when it is time to select a new home for a new life stage. In her case, she and her husband are selling the neighborhood family homestead and opting for a chic condo overlooking trees and water. This move gives them ample fodder for choosing what goes and what stays as well as what is newly desired or needed. This method of paying homage to an ever changing life is invigorating and challenging.
Even though the actions it takes to make these life changes seems almost perfunctory and matter of fact, it may be important to perceive a bit of the sacred in such a change time.
