Share one positive of the week! I'm watching my cousin Annie's two love birds while she's moving and they are ADORABLE!! Loud, but adorable! I really want a parrot, I have a picture of one on my wall. But have never spent time with a bird so it's been great market research. What's got you excited this week?

I created the Smart Move Society and then got quiet. A few people in my life passed away, I lost my job, and the last several weeks have been full of travel and events. I’ve also been filming and recording a new YouTube playlist to help you through your moving journey, updating my website, and moving everything over to a new platform. It’s been a lot, but I should have let you know what was going on. I’m sorry I left you wondering. I’m back, I’m fired up, and I’m ready to make this the community I imagined: a place where we can connect, ask honest questions, share what we’re learning, and make smart moves together. There are also some big new things coming that I'm super excited about that I can't wait to tell you about! I'll give you a hint...I'm heading out of town again Thursday to guest on a new podcast launching for a really big company so it's about to get crowded in here! So let’s start here! Introduce yourself in the comments: 📍 Where do you live now? 🧭 Are you thinking about moving, planning a move, or settling in somewhere new? 💬 What topics would you love us to talk about here? And one more thing: you’re here at the very beginning. We’ll be charging for new members soon, but you’ll keep your free access as a founding member! My thank you to you for being here early. If you know someone who’s considering a move, someone who loves their city and wants everyone to move there (think City Ambassador!), or just random people that like to talk about how to navigate big life transitions...invite them in now so they can join us for free, too. Onward, Moving Smartie! I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s get moving! XO, Mariette
