After moving back from traveling Europe to the US, living in Ohio with family during the Christmas holiday and then finally hitting home in California – I was beginning to feel like a modern day gypsy.
I had always said that I’d love to be this modern-day traveling hippie (who shaves) yoga teacher/gypsy woman… But in all honesty, it was beginning to take a toll on me. I had lived in many places in the last year. And, as much as I loved it and exciting as it was, there is something special about having a place you can call home. I was craving that. Home is and has been for some time California. Laguna Beach. So to come back here after 6 months of hitting it hard traveling – oh it feels good to be back. I’m meant to live by the water. Maybe I was a dolphin in a former life :) – but I find a sense of peace and homeness( just made that word up) when I am here.

As I travel the world, because I know I will travel again, Southern California will always be home base. It feels good to know that. It’s not perfect – but no place is. Yet, it works for me. I have friends here. I have adopted family here. I have the beach. And I have the warm weather I love. I get to walk to my yoga class on Saturday morning and do so not in 2 feet of snow. I’m lucky.
