"Faith is putting all of your eggs in God's basket, then
counting your blessings before they hatch." -Ramona C. Caroll
We sold our home two months ago with the intention of finding another in the city, closer to hub's work, the airport, hiking trails and more;)
We first thought we'd like a condo but soon decided against one due to monthly HOA fees and all that goes with them.
Instead we chose to purchase another home. We love Arizona so much we see this as our last move. However I'm always open to change, unimaginable gifts, abundant blessings and unlimited opportunities, so one never knows!
We were determined to stay within our budget and find a home that fit our lifestyle. After four weeks we finally accomplished what we set out to do.
I haven't been commenting or writing as much as usual due to this and a few other changes in my life. I appreciate your patience and will return to my normal schedule of commenting and posting in a few weeks with even more gusto, encouragement and passion for living a bold life.
All the hours previously spend commuting to the city, airport, hiking trails, etc will be spent improving my online presence and methods of serving you. I thank each one of you for your support and presence in my life. I am truly grateful! xo

Hello Tess!!
WooHoo! I knew thing s would go your way. I am so happy for you both.
Of course, you’ve got my support as always! What would we do without Tess?
Let me know if I can help you in any way my friend.
Keith,
Thanks so much for your support and good thoughts. We’ve almost been friends for two years. Amazing, eh?

Hi Tess –
Arizona is a wonderful state. I like to think that I started learning about beauty there as it is a state that is so beautiful to behold and breathe in and yet to many that beauty is lost as the passion and simplicity/complexity of the deserts do not fit the “beauty” mold.
Congratulations on the house sale and on the new house…
And you have my support all the way.
Blessings
E.
Thanks so much for your ongoing support. I appreciate you.
Thanks for the update, Tess.
I don’t know how you do it in the U.S. but in Malaysia there are lots of work involved when moving homes.
Anyway, take care and I wish both you and your hubby all the best in your new found home.

Alex,
I’m not so sure it has to be complicated here. Some of us make it so. We sold our house in just a few months and believe me it’s not an ideal location. It took us longer to purchase one but we didn’t want to exceed our budget and we wanted a special location. The wait was worth it, as always.

thinking of you both during your exciting transition. wish i was there to help you.

Welcome to your new home! I hope all parts of your move go smoothly! How exciting to be closer to all the things you enjoy to do. Have a beautiful time settling into your new surroundings.

Stacey,
We just found people to move us at a reasonable price. The problem is I can’t get my hands on any boxes. Seems like all are moving!
.-= Tess The Bold Life´s last post…What In The World Has Tess Been Doing =-.
Tess,
Woo-Hoo!! I’m sure there’s an extra sense of peace in being at this place you’re at now…knowing you found this home (and one that puts you both closer to what really matters).
Hmmm…I really should visit your new abode…don’t you think!!

Tess, thank you for serving me. (Am I your one millionth customer, and if so, can you make me a bowl of soup?)
Hooray for your new adventures. One of my goals for 2011 is to come visit you, I’ll take you around my old stomping grounds (ASU) and we can laugh so loud people will need ear plugs. Thanks for letting us know what you’ve beep up to.

Hi Tess
The home is awesome! It looks so nice and just resonates you all over!!! I love it!
And way to go for sticking to your dream, having that vision and following through! And while it may be the last move for now, I know you will stay open to all of life’s amazing surprises and gifts
Wishing you a smooth, happy and conscious move!

Hi Angela,
Thanks for your support in this. I appreciate our friendship and I’m sending my angels your way. I see it happening. I hold your vision.
Hey Tess – Congrats on the new house! Sounds like it’s the perfect place for you to set down roots.
p.s. Love the photo of the house and that desert landscaping. Brings back very fond memories of my time in Tempe.

Patti,
Didn’t know you lived her or were you just visiting Tempe. Or did you go to ASU like Lori. Do tell…
Congratulations Tess! Here’s the simple life! Your place looks beautiful! I love Arizona. My parents are in Sedona but hoping to move soon nearer to the kids here in Colorado.
Betsy,
Yes I sure have simplified. This house is half the size it looks and we love that about it. We will be an hr closer to Sedona!
Congrats on your BOLD move Tess! I hope you get settled in and create all kinds of great blessings and wonderful memories in your new home.
Barrie,
Thanks for stopping by and let the good times and memories roll!
Congratulations, Tess! You’re a great example that one never needs to know the “how’s,” just the “wow’s,” as Mike Dooley would say. Manifesting on a dream, baby! And your presence is never NOT felt. You’re boundless, and the world welcomes it.
Love & joy,
Megan
Megan,
If I wait for the hows there’ll be no wows. I just love you. Thanks for the Mike’isms. xo
Congratulations, Tess! Did you find one with a garden *and* a pool?
Davina,
Neither…the back yard is empty awaiting our dreams!
congrats for your new home
and welcome back Tess
Farouk,
Thanks and thanks. I appreciate you.
Just make sure you don’t fill ALL that extra time with the internet! Get out & about in your new space!

Don’t worry about that…it’s so beautiful in Scottsdale I’ll probably spend less time online. LOL
Hi Tess,
Wishing you and hubs much happiness in your new home.
Lots of love,

Thanks Gail. You’re one of the few people who’ve met us both in person. We’re blessed to know you.
.-= Tess The Bold Life´s last post…What In The World Has Tess Been Doing =-.
Congrats Tess, you have done it again, manifesting your desires.
Soon it will be my turn to talk about what we are manifesting, I hope we will be on the move soon too.
Isn’t life fun to live this way. Love Wilma
Wilma,
It’s great to hear from you. I can’t wait to hear all about it! xo

It best to always be grateful for what you have and where your at. I’m grateful to see, you’ve been finding what you desire.
Congrats on the new home! Hope it’s everything you need. I know how busy life can get and commenting takes time. I’m just glad you found a home that you like.
I plan to move to another city in December… currently I’m preparing territory for this…
I think that change help us to grow, so I’m glad that you make these changes in your life Tess…
How wonderful & exciting! CONGRATULATIONS on finding your new home and on having such strong faith – it is a bold action to sell a house before you find your next one – I love the quote you used “Faith is putting all of your eggs in God’s basket, then counting your blessings before they hatch.”
** for moving boxes, I’ve been able to find free ones on Craigslist.org – hopefully you can find plenty. I saw in the comments that you haven’t enough yet.
Enjoy this big adventure!
