Having sold/moved from a beat-up old house I owned for 30 years, I feel your anxiety. Be gentle on yourself, it is truly harder than all get-out to go through what you’re experiencing. When I was anguishing the most, I’d go stand under a tree in our yard. It always comforted me. Eventually it spoke to me – and you’ll never guess what it told me…”take a deep breath and go forward.”
Your post is very wise. Best wishes in your journey forward!

They have such a way of just taking things as they come, and then letting them go. When Luke gets wound up over a strange person in the house, as soon as that person leaves he forgets all about it (hopefully he does remember the part where he got lots of treats though).
What you are taking on is such a big thing, I don’t think I can even imagine how tough it must be! I’m taking on some organizing this year, but other than that I feel like we had a good 2014 and we just need to keep plugging away at the things we want to accomplish.

Love it! So hard to follow, but oh-so-valuable advice. (BTW, if you want help cleaning out, I’m your gal. Nothing – NOTHING – makes me happier than clearing out and touching up! And if you need things labeled, I’ll bring my P-Touch, and it’ll be a party! Seriously.)

I think the blessing in living your dream is paying attention on your journey getting there. I love all the wonderful surprises and gifts I am receiving each and everyday as I “live my dream” – this was such a wonderful post. Love the bicycle analogy also.

The best New Years resolution I ever made was to NOT make any. I am a little like Honey-I accept liverwurst (or in my case chocolate) as motivation.
You will sell your house even with the flaws only you see. Someone else will find them a charming challenge.

Don’t worry about the flaws in your old house. The person that wants to buy it is going to want it for its old charm anyway. I grew up in a 150 year old house and all the flaws were truly what made it unique. My current cookie-cutter developer’s house is so boring. And it still breaks. It’s almost 20 y.o. and it badly needs new windows!

Happy 2015! I look forward to reading about your big adventure.

PS I didn’t even come close to meeting my 2014 resolution 🙁

We don’t do resolutions, but we have some decent goals for the year. Mom tries to do things that she enjoys rather than what others think she should do, and my sisters and I just enjoy having fun doing almost anything. Can’t believe the “year of your dream” is here. It will be exciting to hear how it progresses. Remember, no house is perfect, stage it nicely, get the offer, negotiate over things that are not right and then move on.

I bet when you’re done with the touch ups, and done giving away or rehoming or even selling much of your belongings, you will feel this huge sense of relief….and…the house will probably look it’s most beautiful to you when you know you will be seeing it for the last time and moving on to a new adventure in life.
