The Shadow and the Shimmer

Wow! This is my 55th blog post. 55 has always been such a happy, significant number to me, as I saw a lot of 5's in the year leading up to my move to Switzerland. 5's (especially in sequence, like 55 or 555) hold the spiritual meaning of change. It's no wonder I was seeing 555 everywhere I looked, back then. I had a huge season of change, with marriage, first pregnancy and an international move all happening within days of each other. I do things intensely, and all at once! Also significant is the fact that the theme of today's post is adapting to change. We just returned from 2 weeks in Canada, where we visited family and friends. What a SOUL NURTURING trip it was. I hadn't been home since October 2017, when Theo was 6 months old, so this trip was so necessary for me.  Not only did seeing my family and friends (and native land!) boost me up spiritually and emotionally, it allowed me to see that having two homes is OK.
