Oh dear. You and Jon are a part of my fabric here and I feel the destabilization immediately. Another close friend of mine in her 70s just got her notice. It is edgy. I am similar with fall. When I was making the scents for this season, everything pulled me to warm, cozy, simple, comfort. I feel like that's what we need right now. You said it all in your gorgeous writing. I am sitting with you. I am also the tears before anger and shock. Sitting with you. Knowing it will all be beautiful but ugh.
Oh no! I am sending you all love. You have been there such a long time and are so involved with helping the town become a better place with your involvement in local politics. I know you will find the most wonderfully perfect place. I vote for a location with lots of surrounding area where we can all move and come and live in a community of awesome like minded people. 😁💜🩷
I feel your shock, sadness, anger, uncertainty…. All of it! This is happening on a daily basis these days with landlords giving all of the same usual “excuses”. I’m hoping that the end of this chapter leads to a more amazing next one. Change sucks until you know where it’s leading you❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘
I feel for you. I once did the math and figured out that I’d moved 27 times by the time I was 33 years old. I’m now 67 and the moves have certainly slowed down but .......Alice Merton’s song No Roots has always held meaning for me.
Oh goodness, that's so much moving. I moved every two years or so from 19 yrs old to 42 years old when we landed here. Fourteen years in one place has been a gift.
I am sorry!!! What a horrible news, it seems that in this period that's all we get, and they get from bad to worse. We have to keep it together, as there is little else to do. Lot of love to you, Jon and the dogs. It's really surreal to think you'll be leaving.
Oh Nora! Oh no! I can imagine some of your shock, tears, sorrow, anger, panic, etc., as I feel for you some of all of that myself. Prayers and best wishes and visualizations of a lovely, warm, cozy, Fairy-found, chainsaw-free home for you, Jon and the dogs are commencing now. I have no doubt this will all work out for in the end, a door will open, etc., but that is pretty much just a bunch of platitudes at this moment. Right now, THIS TOTALLY SUCKS AND I AM SO SORRY! Much love and support to all of you. You can do this! Fucking November.....
Ah Nora. My heart truly goes out to you. I had the same situation *twice* in 8 months last year. I hope you find something lovely and the path is easy getting there. 💞🏠
Oh my, wow! This feels like not just November, but also the last vestiges of eclipse season. It clearly wasn’t quite finished with you. I’ve never been to your home and have no idea what it looks like, aside from various photos you’ve shared here and there, but I have an image I’ve formed of all the various spaces in my head and it’s going to be so strange not to still imagine you there. Wishing you as much peace and, dare I say, even joy (joyful grief and joyful anger and joyful fuck you universe) as possible in the midst of the not joyful at all. Wherever you land will be sooo incredibly lucky to have you! (may I plant the seed for Durham, North Carolina? Or Carrboro or Hillsborough or Pittsboro may be more up your alley...) 😉
Oh, Nora, I know the gut punch of this message since I’ve also experienced it in Southern California. To his credit, your landlord had the decency and integrity to call you personally rather than simply leave the letter mandated by CA on your door. The close to 90 days is certainly a miracle within itself. I know the availability and cost situation relative to housing, especially rental housing in SoCal. However, miracles do happen. I pray for you, Jon, and the pups to find a wonderful and magical next home with ease and grace.
In my case, my new home involved a new landlord and a new roof on the same building where I was already living. I did pack up pretty much everything during the reroofing and am still not truly resettled after almost a year. I hit brick walls with option after option for new places to live to only to realize, once on this side of the exasperation, that the walls were keeping me exactly where I’m meant to be. Once I moved to Altadena in 1999, I’ve lived in 3 different places but all so close they must be on the same part of the global grid. I feel like all will work out for too once you take a breath and start the movement of the process. Moving, even when you don’t change address, sure makes you go through your stuff and purge. Many blessings 💕
Oh Nora - I don’t know what I can say that hasn’t already been said so beautifully. I’m sending some supportive energy for the outcome that’s highest vibe and best for you all. Also add hopes that the end of this chapter leads to an even more beautiful next “era” ❤️🏡❤️So much love to you all!
Hi Nora, my heart goes out to you and Jon. I had a hard time processing this news at first and couldn’t respond! I’m attached to you two living here! And it saddens me that we live in these times especially in SoCal where there’s so much more disturbance to our living situations and dealing with high costs. I trust life will unfold in the way it is supposed to for your highest good and sending good wishes for that best outcomes whatever it may be 🧚

Thank you so much, Kate. "chainsaw-free" totally cracked me up. I love you.

Thank you so much, Kelli. I hope that where you are now is allowing you to be steady and rooted.

Thank you so much, Helen. We'd love to stay in the Ojai Valley and are also open to other destinations as well.
A gut punch. I am so so sorry. I love you, and will call all the guides and angels. You and Jon and the fur kiddies are on my mind.
I love you.
Thank you. I love you too.

Thank you so much, Carol. I followed your journey through this on facebook. I am glad you are settled in your new home.
