Its been quite sometime since we last enthralled ourselves in engaging correspondence. Hopefully life has been nothing short of stellar for you and the countless loved ones entangled within your existence. The weather has finally broke, birds are chirping and Mother Nature is flaunting her majestic beauty to us once again. Regardless of our prior speculations that she had a vendetta against the stern and forgiving skyline of Chicago and surrounding suburbscape (perhaps she didn’t know that Wisconsin is responsible for our volatile beaches) Mother Nature finally blew the winds of change in our favor. I am sure you took in that much needed breath of fresh air and vitality.
My prior condition must have been oxygen definency…because, after my first deep yoga breath of that warm, life-infused breeze--my life suddenly changed course. The breath must have been more lie one hell-of-a gasp because the seasons suddenly changed from an icy winter to the most temperate, sunny day of summer. I am not sure if the shift was prompted by a spontaneous change of life philosophy but, it seemed reasonable not to question it. After all, ignorance is sometimes bliss (so it seems). I blindly rode on my newly re-discovered and long-awaited wind current. The wind system must have been part of a mid-latitude cyclone because I had a few run-ins with some lightening but, was thankfully spared. Then, at what seemed to be the exact moment when the tropopause was reached, a giant gust snatched me and started to tumultuously blow in the direction of the pacific. Like a seedling of a mighty oak tree on a brisk day in fall, I blew, flew, twisted and turned until I landed. So, here I am in Los Angeles. A new seedling finally sprouting roots.
Long story abridged…A couple of weeks ago my family found out that my brother needs a kidney transplant. Being the member of my family who had the least amount of responsibilities in Chicago--I offered to move to LA in order to help him out and offer up an organ. So, within five-days I had my car packed and ready for my cross-country relocation. Within a couple days of being in LA I got a job as a personal trainer at the Equinox Fitness in West Hollywood (one of the top gyms in the country). For a 21-year-old with a Marketing Degree this job is heaven-sent. Within a few months I will be working with celebrity clients, which illustrates to me I am the luckiest girl in the world. The scenery and weather is beautiful. My brother is doing quite well (all things considered). And, I wake up every morning with a smile. Life is good. : )
Wishing you everything…
