I was all ready to sell my casa when a realization hit me – Moving Sucks. Moving, uprooting, packing up your life and starting brand new someplace else requires a lot of energy and resources – and to what end?

I want to move to be closer to family and friends, but will that really help me change my life? Shouldn’t I be able to make new friends and start my own family here in Plano?

So I decided that what I need to do is go back to work full-time or at least find a part time job that is flexible and brings in some stable income that will help me to feel a little more secure. I don’t think running from my problems is the answer, however, I have to find balance between being responsible and being delusional.

So I’m stepping out in faith. I’m going to try to stay here until I’ve got a solid reason to leave. Yes, family and friends are a solid reason, but I have friends who are like family here in Plano too.
