You know what you gotta do when life gets you down?
Just Keep Swimming
It has been over a month that I neglected this blog and my dear blog friends - but I have a great excuse: not only I moved from Brazil back to the United States, but I also just moved across the country (aka drove by myself from Cali to South Florida!)
Why? How? When? Hmmm let me tell you how all of this happened...
I arrived in LA a month ago and suddenly found myself completely disconnected with everything. I was down because I missed my family so very much. I was down because I deeply want to create a home... and I deeply wanted it to be by the beach. So I "kept swimming", kept knocking on doors and... I felt something bigger and greater was guiding me. It turns out life was playing its magic and I got a wonderful job and a wonderful apt in south FL!
So now here I am writing with a Sunshine State of mind from the Sunshine State - and I couldn't be happier! This is it! This is home...
The weather is hot & humid (and yep I do love that!), the beaches are beautiful and have the warmest ocean waters! And even when it rains (and it does a lot) I am happy because I get to wear my fabulous designer rain boots!
So when I am not online, be sure I am at the beach!
Who is joining me?
CONGRATS on the move and finding a place you can call home. Nothing beats that!!!
ReplyDeleteAwe I'm so happy for you chica! I 'm glad that you followed your heart! I love Florida too! Congrats on the new job! xo -Taj
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the big move!! How exciting. I'd love to join you on the beach as long as your provide an umbrella, floppy hat and SPF 100 for my pasty white skin :)

Darling I can only imagine the despair in having to leave your beloved Brazil and family behind. I know exactly how that feels! (pause for big HUG!)
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how life sometimes guides you in an unexpected but right direction, and I am thrilled that you ended up in a part of the world where you can live a full life and be happy!
Florida is also closer to 'home' for you so hopefully you will get both visitors and trips home.
Happy happy for you!
Warm hugs from a not-so-swimmable-Autumnal Sweden! :)

Sounds like heaven! I've always wanted to live at the coast ... one day!
