This is such a beautiful and empowering piece of writing - thank you. I love the image of your heart being sliced in two and a different home living within each half. It helps me understand my own relationship to my hometown and the woods and hills (Yorkshire) that soothe my soul yet I know there is another place waiting for me 🙏🏻

After 32 years away, I moved back to my home town (which happens to be by the sea) and it’s just been the absolute best. I know you’ll find your perfect place and I’m so looking forward to hearing about it.

Oh and I know that you’ll appreciate this: I had somehow never seen a fox in real life, but I saw my first one here, on the beach!

I love your new home already! And this stirs upp things in me, the dream of creating something entirely you!

Your descriptions of your dream home feel so tangible and cozy. And that Susannah shop story! I’m more of a homebody, too, and I don’t dream of traveling (though I do to see family and friends). Wish you the best on your house hunting!

As I read this a sense of excitement for you just grew and grew, it's almost like I can feel your home calling you in too x

Sometimes a home needs YOU. The amount of events that had to happen for me to be in the home I am in is astounding. And it all hinged on one moment...and curiosity. Finding what a house needs once you get there is the other half of making it a home...and it’s so incredibly rewarding to see a house “light up” because you are there and you are listening. Love how much you already love the house that is waiting for you❤️

I see you and celebrate you, Susannah. I've long followed your journey and am thrilled for this next chapter. I'm on a similar path, feeling called to a place that has always called me and that I believe is the right next step after four years of illness, cancer, divorce, and finally, glorious rebirth. Thank you for sharing your heart and inspiring me always. xo

How is it that "countless side tables found in markets" makes a house feel like a home? They sure do, though. ☺️ Can't wait to see where you land!

Loved this piece Susannah. My favourite this far. We are currently getting ready to sell a family home and move to a new lifestyle. I hope I feel the way you do.
