For nearly a decade, I wrote from a place that felt deeply rooted in my soul…Marcia’s Cottage by the Sea. That name held the salt air, the rhythm of waves, the scent of hydrangeas in summer, and the cozy charm of a cottage built in the 1920’s. It reflected not just where I lived, but how I lived… soft, feminine, surrounded by the feminine comforts I loved.
Now, life has changed. After 10 wonderful years on the coast, my husband, and I felt the gentle pull towards something different. We sold our home. We let go of many things. And we moved to a lovely townhome that sits by a pond… quiet, green, and peaceful in a different way. It feels like a hidden island in the city… a place to rest, reflect, and begin again.
I kept the blog domain, but the new title on my website is now Seasons of Home. Because this, too, is a season. A new rhythm. A different kind of beauty.
There’s joy in the change… and a bit of sadness, too. I’m still finding my footing.
The closets are being cleared. Old clothes donated. Even favorite furniture pieces have moved on to other homes. I’m trying to make space not just physically, but emotionally… for who I am becoming now.
This new season invites something quieter. Simpler. A little softer around the edges. There’s still beauty here… just in a more reflective way. I think that’s where this next chapter of writing wants to go, too.
So here I am… still Marcia. Still writing. Still lighting a candle before I sit down with tea…only now it’s in a different room, with a new view…
And the same open heart.
Coming Up Next in the Series…
In my next post, I’ll be sharing more about the things I let go of… and what I’ve discovered in the space they left behind. It’s been a quiet, meaningful process… one I’m still gently navigating.
