Sonya shares the journey behind her 2017 move to Aotearoa / New Zealand stemming from a magical 40th birthday trip, her attainment of permanent residency, and what ultimately led her to sell all her possessions and leave the most beautiful place she's ever experienced in 2022. She reminds us that our new lives will cost us our old ones and asks us to envision, in the midst of loss, what may be waiting around the next bend.
Miraculous Musings:
*What have you had to give up this year? What have you chosen to give up? What emotions have those experiences elicited?
*Are there examples from your life of times you parted with something or someone and then experienced growth or transformation you hadn't foreseen?
*In what ways do you want your life to change in 2025?
