You're listening to the beautiful mess podcast. Today I'm doing a

quickie flash Q&A as a follow-up to last week's episode number 42, oops I'm moving again.

After last week's episode it was so cool to hear how many of you have made similar decisions

due to COVID, lots of you are moving, some of you are moving across the country.

Also it was fun to hear from everyone who built onto their house or did a major renovation

with little kids and kind of hated it.

That was very reinforcing for me, so thank you.

Also, it was just nice to hear so many people supporting us and thinking of our

children's perspective first and most of you basically said do what's best for your family and I really

appreciate that so thank you.

This was a crazy thing.

Ting is here again by the way and he is my co-host because Emma is having her roof redone this week

so she'll be back next week and Ting is my special

Philin co-host for the week because we're basically neighbors now. We are. Yeah, we're still

neighbors after you move. That's true. I'm not moving very far. That's one of the

questions. Oh is it? I already answered it. I'm moving like a mile away so staying in the same area a lot of people thought maybe we were moving to like another state or something and I was like no no no no no I wanted to read this comment from Sarah because I got a lot of comments that were kind of like this

one but like so many probably like more than like 30 or 40 that it started to become like a thing and I was like I'm I'm so shocked okay so this is what her

comment said this is going to sound weird coming from a total stranger but I had the

instinct that maybe this wasn't actually your forever home.

I'm really not shocked.

I think you're very wise to make decisions reflecting the new normal in this COVID world.

So a lot of people said that they couldn't envision us here or that they somehow knew that we were not going to stay here, which I think is so funny.
