I've got something to tell you...

I'm not off my rocker.

Am I crazy? That's a tough question. Nah, I wouldn't say crazy... I would say, defiant, impatience and madly in love with family. As I'm sure some of you have probably guessed, or for those of you I've already told, this may not come as a surprise to you but for everyone else who doesn't have a clue... here goes... Phil and I are moving back to Canada. 


I know, it's funny isn't it? It took us months to find a perfect new home in LA, we finally do, start decorating it, even have a housewarming party and that same weekend we both came to the conclusion - our time in LA feels finished. Everything is turning out (as it almost always does) completely different from what I expected. But I know deep down inside, it's all for the right reasons.


Now let me be clear. Los Angeles is a beautiful city. We've been here for 2 and a half years and have both experienced and learned SO much, it's indescribable. I studied acting with one of the best teachers I've ever had the privilege of knowing (Mr. Robert Carnegie), discovered that although I love to act, I'm better at comedy and would rather make you laugh. I found the best vocal teacher I've ever had and have grown immensely in my vocal ability, all thanks to her amazing explanations (and my dedicated practicing). 


I've lived near a beach, had palm trees in my sight at all times, practiced Nichiren Buddhism (and chanted with musical legend, Herbie Hancock!) had the pleasure of showing many people the historical sights, fabulous restaurants and the beautiful scenery LA is made of. Partied in Hollywood, shopped til I dropped, danced ALOT, hiked, biked, walked, and ate delicious food. I've met incredibly creative people full of ambition and talent from all over North America... I've laughed a lot, cried a lot, missed people a lot, been disappointed and been pleasantly surprised, filled my 'book of life' with one more chapter and am completely satisfied with moving back to begin our new chapter!


I am so grateful and happy that Phil & I decided to embark on this beautiful adventure together - it certainly hasn't been easy but I appreciate everything in my life so much more because of it; having a supportive husband by my side, having family close by, living in a smaller city, and spending tons of time with my closest friends. So, when do we head back you ask?


... at the end of this month! SURPRISE!!!


ps. I turn 23 on June 13th! AND Phil turns 25 on June 18th!
