Before
moving to Durango, I had made a conscious choice to live a simpler life, to
give up many of the materialistic obsessions of society, like my car. Through
reflection over the years, I had been growing into a life of awareness, in both
the world around me and the world within me. I learned as much as I could about
off-grid living and sustainability, herbs and holistic healing, meditation and
other healthy lifestyle choices. I became a Reiki practitioner and even an
ordained minister. I felt a deep connection to the divine and looked forward to
progressing further in my quest for walking a more enlightened path. Ironically,
my move has done little to advance this feeling of inner peace. In fact, it has
done the exact opposite.

Slum Lords
This article was originally going to be
posted in early March, right after I received an eviction notice from my
landlords because I had the audacity to put my requests for repairs in writing.
However, I decided it might not be to my advantage to post it while I was
looking for a new home. I have since moved into a fairly new condo and have
zero issues with the landlords who own it. Despite living in a relatively
worry-free building, I still stand by what I had written on this subject and
decided to post it after all. Call it venting if you like, but I consider it a
form of releasing all the negative energy I’ve been holding onto regarding my
most recent move.
