The Next Chapter
Hello!
Well, I've made the decision for sure -- I'm going to downsize. What an ordeal moving is. It's good for me to go through this -- will only increase my empathy for other sellers. If you'd like to follow my downsizing journey, I'm going to write about it on my blog, The Next Chapter. You can find my posts at Making the Move. I'll be sharing lessons learned and helpful services I discover, as I personally make the move.
