Places of Joy:
- The fact that every day (literally, ever day so far!) has been 80's, sunny, and gorgeous.
- Each day feels more like home as we unpack and decorate which is so relaxing!
- They have Trader Joe's all over. And its pretty wonderful.
- My roommates are both here now and I am so excited/thankful to be living with them.
- I'm surrounded by people who love many of the same things I do, lots of dreamers and pioneers and artists.
- I can go to the mountains and the beach in the same day!
Praises, I have a job! Well, two actually. And within the first two weeks, which was such a blessing. We have all our furniture now, we've been making new friends, and getting to reconnect with the old. I'm so glad to finally be here. It's been challenging, but I know I'm growing in it.
I don't feel like I've fallen into a rhythm yet. It still feels like I'm trying to dance to a beat I haven't quite internalized yet or sing to a song I don't know all the words to. Some days its great, and others feel uncomfortably off balance. Surrounded by palm trees, it's been hard to make my brain understand that I'm not on vacation, I'm home. I crave the stability of a schedule and job, but at the same time it feels daunting, like I'm locking myself into something I won't be able to get out of. My creative side has secretly relished these past few weeks of no schedule though. I love being able to say yes to new possibilities as they come along! I got to be a reader for a writers group last week and had my first L.A. audition for a short, both very last minute and both a lot of fun. I guess the next challenge will be to set up a schedule that has room for life and spontaneity!
I'll share pictures and fun stories as I have time, I'd like to blog more now and not just when I'm overseas. So we'll see how that goes. Until the next time!
With all my love,
Lauren
