indeed it has.
it took a timely job offer, the coaxing of my parents, and the unrelenting will of my family of 8 to re-migrate back to our homeland. i'm almost to a point of breathe-again status. after a dozen or so sunsets, being on island again has mostly gifted me with less driving, less work-related angst, and much peace-of-mind about my decision. when i moved here in my twenties, i was still on shaky ground and finding myself. in 2007, the convenient job offer was second to the fact that i was running from heartbreak. this time the job offer is the much-needed impetus overdue for our large family. the eldest of my bunch is thriving on his own in san diego at his second year of college; my inherited four-some is beyond the needy age and primed to enjoy their school-age years in the home wherst they came from; my two-year old baby girl is well ahead of her age and ready for preschool; my husband far progressed in his culinary career and due for another transition; and me...still heavily inspired by everything having to do with home.
