On A Journey

On a Journey

By Eve Brownstone


Life is a journey. My life has held lots of bends in the road the last nine years. Nine years ago I left a marriage to embark on a journey into an unknown world. I’ve moved ten times. I’ve met good people and have had interesting times. In Chinese my name is Evo and I’m known as “Chicken” in some parts.

But I never really found the right place to settle down. It is something inside of me that is still searching for “home”. I moved again yesterday.

I’ve been on my own. Sure I’ve dated. Thought I was in love a few times. I’ve learned a lot about life, about myself. The lessons have been a gift. I definitely haven’t taken the predictable route. I’m not married with children. I love my three gorgeous and brilliant nieces.

I guess I would describe myself as an artist type. I can be moody, but I’m loving and very loyal to my friends and family. You know who you are.

Most of the time my intention is to have an open heart and give people the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes this generosity has led to heartache. Damn you bastards. Sometimes a girl has got to cuss.

I’m also a therapist and seem to attract clients who are also at a crossroads, people who want to move in more positive directions. I like showing my clients that they have the key inside them to all the doors they wish to pass through.

To remind myself that I hold my own key to my heart, I wear a gold key around my neck. Not everyday, but at times when I need a reminder. I need a little reminder today. I want some comfort and a hand to hold. We all need that at times in our lives.

My higher power has a lap for me to rest on today. I need a good cry. Moving isn’t easy even if you have a great mover named Bart. In a way I feel more free. Nothing is really holding me down. I’m free as a bird and open to all the good in the universe. I could move anywhere and do anything. I have the keys.

Wow. Didn't know a move was on the horizon when we visited Chi last week. Moves can be very stressful. Thought you might find this NY Times article worth a look. Here's the link: The Psychology of Moving.
