September!

Today is the one year anniversary of "Back to the Future". Ta-dah!

So I've been searching for something meaningful to say about my 11 plus months of New York Part 2 but truthfully I'm still not sure if I'm a New Yorker who loves California or a California girl who loves New York. (With Midwestern roots and a solid Florida anchor).

As I think about this, I realize I'm acting a little bit like a scene in the book "Eat, Pray, Love" where Elizabeth Gilbert, the author, has the 'monkey mind' and is struggling to meditate. She's in India, it's 4:30 a.m., its really hot, there's people chanting for hours, and there's bugs crawling all over her. During the struggle she begins to feel even worse about herself: Not only has her marriage, her post marriage relationship and her New York City "perfect life" fallen apart, she can't even sit still and meditate! Someone tells her to dedicate her practice to someone else (and stop thinking about herself) and of course that's the trick, she begins to relax into things.

Because the truth is...I love both.

Happy September everyone!
