I've found my home....

For all of my adult life I've been searching for the place that truly feels like "home" to me. Not just a place that is so much this or so much that, but a place that resonates with my own energy. For the years that I lived in Boston, I loved my life there, but I always knew it was not where I was meant to be. Something was pushing me to leave. And all of my life I felt like I would move west, but my career kept me in Boston during those years, and I knew it was not yet time to move.

Then my life changed and my path took me to DC. I loved it and connected with it immediately. I had never lived in such a diverse place, so stimulating and with so much international culture. It satiated an intellectual thirst inside of me. But despite that I always knew that it was not my true "home". Even when I tried to entertain the idea that I may end up living there forever, I always knew that it wasn't what was meant to be. I still felt that pull west.

All of my life I had known I would end up on the west coast. I don't know how or why, but I always knew it. But I didn't know exactly where. For years I tried to convince myself that San Francisco was the place I belonged, but each time I went I immediately knew that the energy was not a match. The same was true of Seattle.

But now I have finally arrived, and I feel, for the first time in my life that I have found MY home, the place where I truly belong. And that place is Los Angeles, truly my city of Angels. And despite the images that people have of Los Angeles and the negative "energy" and superficiality that people may perceive it to have, it holds none of those things for me. Quite the opposite in fact. I have never met warmer, more open and friendly people in my life. People who are willing to go out of their way to talk to you, to help you out. I have never seen a place where people are so alive and lit up with positivity. And I have never experienced such a place where wonderful possibilities await you at every turn.  

This City of Angels has wrapped me up in a warm blanket of awe-inspiring, boundless energy. It has connected with my soul on such a profound level and has filled me up with nothing but excitement, possibility and positivity for the future. I am so grateful for having finally found my way here.
