Hello friends! Packing sucks! Oh my emgee...this is so overwhelming. This is even more overwhelming than when my apartment flooded in '09 and I had to move unexpectedly AND in 3 days. My apartment is a wreck, I have too many clothes (an absolute blessing, btw) and I still have to do things like, get foreign currency, sell some furniture, sell clothes, close my bank account, yada yada...
On a much brighter note, I got my visa and my plane ticket this week (it is Tuesday folks, we are in good shape lol). This thing is really happening. My family threw me an amazing going away party this weekend and I also had a lovely dinner with my loves from Jolie. All these send offs are so thoughtful and moving but at some point each time I think to myself, "you are moving to Japan alone." As the time draws near that is screaming, "YOU ARE MOVING TO JAPAN! ALONE! IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!!!" I can't shut her up or turn her off. I don't think that voice is crying out from a fearful place. I think she just wants me to be ready.
I gotta tell you though, this feels right. I don't think I would rather be doing anything else right now. It has been a long time since I have felt I am right where God needs me to be. For that I am thankful.
Well...no time for the long talking, as they say in JA(That's Jamaica, saints). I must return to packing...the time is drawing nigh.
Love,
The Gypsy
