Selling a House is Weird

Selling a house is weird. Strangers have access to all your stuff and go about assessing your setup as they casually peruse. You become

very aware of how you live knowing mad strangers will be coming to decide if they want to live here next based on how you live here now.

Then if they like it, people throw money at you hoping you choose them and you have a say in where their lives go next.

That temporary power is weird: humbling and huge all at once!

But also, if another one of these suckers come in and leave without turning the lights off or forget to lock the door.......wheeewwww chile!! I even put up a sign and they still leave the lights on. Just rude.

But anywho...the good news is, my condo sold and I gots to be out April 15th🤯😃

The plan, after that, is to head to VA to spend a week or so with the fam and then off to Ghana to reunite with my Kwame. We’re gonna do a Hi/Goodbye Zoom sometime in April so he can “meet“ more of the framily and I can socially distantly say goodbye to life in Seattle and life in the U.S. for now. Stay tuned for the details!

Im just grateful for this whole process. I bought my house in a buyers market for less than it was listed. I sold my house in a seller’s market for more than it was listed. I was able to develop a prospering business in the midst of this pandemic so that I can continue work remotely once I move. My family is safe and as healthy as we can be or being taken care of as needed. That’s really all I prayed for and worked for and wanted in order to feel ok to leave the country.

Y’all can call it the universe, karma, or a coincidence but my husband and I have prayed for a season like this, even before we knew each other existed. To see it manifest is both awe-some and also comforting. Like I’m in disbelief but I’m not because it’s a season that was always coming and my soul is ready for it.
