Leaving Home & Returning Home

Leaving Home & Returning Home

The house will be done by Christmas of this year. And sometime in spring, 3 years after that initial phone call, we’ll be leaving our home in Montreal to move, quite literally, to my parent’s home.

The year I come into my power and purpose through unexpected means.
