Transitions and Transfers

The thing that kills me (about moving) is the loss of my work.  I have truly lost volumes of my writing along the way. 

The way, being, the path from here all the way back to the countless transitions in my life.  The restlessness of my timeline, notably in the past few years, has left me without some of my most fragile words. 

I even once wrote a poem about losing my work and I have lost that too. 

Herein, the moral of the story is print your work and make two copies if you care to.  I don't know why it's so important to me but every time I lose my work, I am reminded of just how raw and personal writing can be.  The same can be said for pictures. 

testing

Every so often I am curious enough to take a personality test if I happen upon one and have nothing else going on. Today I found a link on Facebook and was impressed by the vivid detail the synopsis gave. If you’d like to take the quiz yourself, go to here. Here is what they had to say about me:


You’re a Harmonizer.

Altruistic and thoughtful, you’re generous with your time and energy and definitely like it best when everyone’s getting along. You often put others’ needs before your own and find it easy to see different perspectives on the same problem.

Reliable and trustworthy, you seek harmony and balance in your life. You forge strong, long-lasting friendships, and your friends value your honesty and frank opinions. You tend to value routine and security.With your positive mental attitude, it’s no surprise that things in your life just seem to click into place.

As a Harmonizer, it’s important to learn to trust your intuition and to know that everything will work out for the best. Learn to say yes to new experiences from time to time. Your confidence and self-belief will continue to grow. Sometimes a challenge or a change of scene could be just what you need.You have a strong ability to connect to your inner essence and listen to your heart. Even if you have a busy schedule, make sure you have the confidence to carve out that space for yourself. It’ll definitely pay off in the long run.

You know that true happiness doesn’t come from material things or possessions. It goes much deeper than that and is all about valuing those things you can’t put a price on. You like to care for those around you, and if they’re happy, you’re happy. You appreciate that both highs and lows make up the balance of life and you always try and stay spiritually strong and focused.
