I am a Southern California girl TO MY BONES. There is no place I love more than my true and forever home, flip-flop adorned feet pressed against a cement fire ring at Huntington Beach with sandy hair, sun-tinted skin, and the sound of the ocean filling my ears and my heart. My California is very different than how some folks choose to see it, and I’m so sorry for those who miss or have forgotten the beauty and the aliveness, the sparkle that will never dull because it isn’t about the cost of living or politics or anything other than this incredible energy laced with a peaceful contentedness that rises from the Pacific and vibrates gently through the valleys. My life has taken me through nearly every state in America, it has allowed me to spend a good amount of time in various countries, and I always go with an open heart. I am driven by the desire to feel all the way, always, in every adventure. But nothing, and I mean NOTHING, feels like California. I miss you already. xo
