Came in hot for America and my birthdays. Friends, tablescapes, fireworks and caviar… so much caviar.

The 90’s

Exactly 6 months prior to the day of my birthday this year, I moved back to Virginia Beach from LA (for the first time since I was 18). As with any major transition in life - it has been quite the spiritual journey, emotional awakening, + physical rollercoaster (to say the least). 

In my reflection this week as I entered my 34th cycle around the sun, I felt an immense wave of both grief + gratitude for the half-my-life long love affair I had with Los Angeles. Maybe it was an illusion, maybe it was real. Whichever it was - it was beautiful, it was the wildest ride of my life…and I will forever be in love with every f*cking moment of it. 

Reflection: Dear LA, you were my home for 15 years + you will always be one of the greatest loves of my life. I came to you formidably seeking a version of myself I always knew existed but had yet to meet. Together we lived through many of my radical phases, evolutions, + cycles. You guided me, challenged me, gut-checked me, supported me, and allowed me the freedom to find that inner person my soul was screaming out for me to acknowledge, to release, to liberate. You introduced me to the other great loves of my life - my soul family, my sisters, my mentors. And then myself. You held me thru loss, fear, triumph, heartbreak, failure, glory + creation. You led me to my voice, to the beautiful humans that impacted my life invaluably, + you continuously offered me the energy of boundless possibility - every single day. 

Some humans come into our orbit as a lesson or guide for just a season - to inspire us, expand our consciousness, level up our light, activate our resiliency - some come in as ride or dies…lifers that match our “weird as a love language” that we will be dancing nudie under the moon with at age 80. Every soul you brought into mine changed me, impacted me, shifted my insight or instigated growth in one way or another. Each helped cultivate who I am today…someone a little more connected to source, a step closer to my dharma, a bit more empowered + embodied in my way of being. 

So, to the city that raised me…I’m eternally grateful for the wondrously strange + amazing experience that you are + will always be for me 🤟🏽
