“Don’t be sad because it ended. Smile because it happened.” When I heard this, it sparked something inside me, a glimmer of hope that I hadn’t felt in a while. I had been feeling a bit down about no longer living in Los Angeles. For over two years, it was a true privilege to call LA home, especially given that we managed it with zero income. It’s hard to believe we made it there without the support of our business income, and yet, month after month, we somehow covered our rent until we didn’t. But that’s a story for another time.

Now, I’m learning to smile at the thought of all the new possibilities that Georgia has in store. I’m seeing Georgia through a fresh, new lens, appreciating it in a way I hadn’t before. There’s something exciting about starting over and embracing a new chapter, and I’m ready to see what unfolds here with an open heart and mind.
