I have good reason for the couple days of absence on here.

Big news, too.

I'M MOVING.
I know, pretty crazy. This will be the 2nd "move" on my own. My first was out of my mom's house and into the city. It's been 2 1/2 years of living on my own, paying my own bills, cleaning my own house, making my own meals, and living in this little flat- alone. There's nothing about the move that I regret. It's been an amazing little nook for me and I will cherish every memory I've had in it. Believe it or not, there are more than I would've guessed: celebrated holidays with the family, crazy random sleepovers with best friends, movie nights, hosted my ex-boy, got to know the elderly neighbor next door who; before moving out would wake me up every morning by playing his trombone, bought new pieces of furniture, the haven of escape this place was after months of touring at a time, repainting, christmas cookie parties, nights into the wee hours of the morning filled with music and wine... such fabulous memories. And although I'm leaving, those memories never will.

I realized I had a lot more stuff than I thought. I'm by no means a pack-rat. In fact, I'm the 'queen of deep cleans.' The feeling of getting rid of stuff you never use or need, is something I thoroughly enjoy. But my friend told me, "you never know how much you have, until you start packing it up." And she was right. I'm a girl though. I collect mugs, and have a fetish for one of kind pieces. Plus, I have a piano.
But after all of the packing up that we accomplished in a mere 2 hours, and the 3 men who came to the rescue for mom and I, we loaded her up.
 
 
 
So I say, farewell L.A. You will always be home. 
(And I will visit you more than you think) & HELLO to Northern California! 
 

More photos of my new destination 
COMING SOON.

so good. be blessed, friends.
I am here. Do not need feeling too much. To ask for feeling too much is to ask for a sign, and then the answer is the same as that I gave when on Earth. "There shall no sign be given but the sign of the prophet Jonas...For Jonas was three days and three nights... so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." Veiled from sight to the unbeliever.  To the believer the veiling is only temporary, to be followed by a glorious Resurrection... What does it matter what you feel? What matters is what I am, was, and ever shall be to you - A Risen Lord any passing mood of yours--- upon a change of circumstances, upon a mere trifle. I am uninfluenced by circumstances... My Promise is kept. I am here, one with you in tender loving friendship." - Russel
