Carolee,
I've been trying to get past my fears and commit to the -ing journey for months. The "ego chatter" have completely blocked my ability to meditate and really messed with the rest of my life as well. You're lucky to have a supporter who will encourage you. I wish you luck as I take heart from your experience. It's nice to know that I'm not alone in fight fear just to be able to meditate. I'll send a message to the universe asking for light for us both.
-Meredith

Being aware of all this crap is a gift! Your ~ing will pull you through this stressful time and you will look back and be grateful for it... I promise.. but I know you already know that. Your hubby is a wonderful man that loves and supports you and you are truly blessed! Much love!

@ Clarisa - Thank you for the info. I will definitely be using that. After I vented all of this, I went downstairs and watched cooking shows! It's definitely my happy place! While doing that, I chatted with Ry through it (online). Getting out of my own head, distracting myself and having someone who could ask me the right questions really really helped. And I didn't put two and two together as an Aquarius until recently. Someone mentioned it and it just made sense. Aquarius sisters! Woohoo!

@ Laurie - Thank you for your support throughout this process. I'm so thankful that I have all of you to help shine the light on my ego when I throw open the door on it. Without all of your support, I wouldn't be able to do all that I'm able to do now. Much love to you all!!!

I have wonderful Aha! moments in the shower. I never thought it was connected with being an aquarius. Cool, cause I am also an aquarius. Babe, once upon a time you gave me a wonderful mantra, "It's this of something better." I have been telling and everyone about your mantra. It has definitely helped me let go.

Here is one of mine, it's my favorite bible verse. "Be still and know that I AM God." Psalms 46:10. I love it because when I start feeling a milieu of emotions and my mind gets the best of me with thousands thoughts, I remember that all I need is to be still. Still sometimes means giving myself I break from myself. I do something that has nothing to do with connecting, like watch a funny movie, or go hang with my friend's one year old. I find sometimes we try so hard to connect that the we get in our own way. I find what when I here this verse I remember that when I am still among the chaos and craziness I find my ing again. It's like it was always there waiting for my return. I like your IAM statement, IAM a lily. xoxo clari

Shanna - I have heard of EFT! I've been meaning to learn how and you reminded me to look again. I've got sort of a slow work day (Gab being off to Kripalu after all!) so today may be the day!!

And I did find them! After posting this, I was like, "hmm... who else would sell Kate Spade shoes?" Lo and behold, Bergdorf's has them in my size! Once our money and location is sorted out, I'll grab them! I think I'd be more of a shoe person, but I have giant feet (I'm a size 10.5-11) and finding shoes in that size can be tough. I need more bright shoes so I'm hoping that Christmas will mean party shoes galore!

P.S. don't give up on the dream shoes yet. I"m a bit of a shoe freak myself, and have found sometimes I can google the shoe and there are tons of websites that have them at discount. I purchases a few shoes that were out of stock or out of season doing this.

Very open and honest; sometimes we need a little jumpstart from the Universe to get out of our head. Acknowledging is great and journaling is an amazing release. Have you ever considered EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)? Sometimes just acknowledging the issue isn't enough, we need to move the stuck energy that keeps us in the place we don't want to be. There are a lot of techniques out there, EFT just being one of them, that help. I've found some incredible releases utilitizing some of these methods and have helped me with my own ~ing journey. This link has some great info: http://www.squidoo.com/energy-psychology

Good luck and keep releasing those feelings! We believe in you! :)

Thank you for the support, TL! I love the fact that there's such an amazing group of women here. So much gratitude for that!

I'm in a much better space now. I'm forcing myself to say "when" instead of "if" when talking about the move. I was talking to Ryan last night about things, esp. how money will work when we get down there and he assured me that not only would we be fine, but, assuming I didn't go hog wild, I would have the ability to rebuild my wardrobe. Sadly, however, it seems like my dream shoes are already out of stock in my size! Time to go hunting!

I think it's very normal to feel what you're feeling before a move. It's one of the most stressful things in life. You'll have to trust that you'll be OK because you will! We're right there with you while you go through this!
