...And then the Universe hit the brakes. Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans and while I'm daydreaming about exploring the world with my sexy french man, the Universe decides to mix things up.
A promotion at work at the 11th hour; the Universe's way of whispering in my ear. Reminding me of the choice. Planting a seed of wonder. Maybe I should stay in LA?
The unending choices we all face everyday is what causes us all such angst. Fear of the unknown, anxiety about doing the right thing, the regret of the path not taken. Angst shakes us at our core, pain grows from doubt. But this angst also reminds us we're alive.
When I find myself struggling, I remind myself to coast. Realign with Universal timing. The answer will come in the time and the way it's intended. All I can do is close my eyes, open my heart and follow my feet. I trust myself to make good decisions.

Step One: Committing to the Journey
I've been debating for a long time whether to pick up and move to France with my boyfriend. Life in Los Angeles has been good to me. I've got a great apartment, a decent job and amazing friends. LA is a dynamic city and there's always something fun to do. So why move?
The better question is: why not move? Too many times in life we go the safe route. We choose money over happiness, status quo over the unknown. If I embark on this journey, I will have less money, but more experience. If I don't go, I may regret it for the rest of my life. So what will I choose?
I choose to live. I choose to experience. I choose to carpe diem! C'est la vive!
Deep breath... I've officially taken the first step. I've committed to the journey. The road may be long and bumpy, but all I've got to say is: Bring it on World! Watch out France, here I come~
