It seems we arrived in Redondo Beach at just the perfect time, as it feels we're riding a wave.......

Tonight the HS Varsity team swept their local rivals, Mira Costa High, in a match of 3 games, which hasn't been done since 1999. Sweet victory:) Logan has such an opportunity, as a sophomore, at such a time and with such a team as this. To see his smiles, laughter, and free spirit being released has been so good......

As I put time and effort into building a coast to coast network through my House of Secrets blog and motivational words, I'm finding more of my purpose in all of this too........ bringing a little bit of "magic" from the east to the west, a common phrase I've been told since 2014 began:)

Chynna's moving along, having found a FT job in her field, and finishing her PT classes twice a week at Cal State Long Beach. Her schedule has really picked up in many ways and remaining in motion is key to finding fortunes. Spiritual motion, above all, is the most effective way to finding "success."

She'll slowly transition into moving into a room of her own in Redondo Beach, near the beach, and mostly out of necessity for now. Plans are for her to have a roommate and move in after the Easter holiday, which could cut my wardrobe by a 1/4... not good. She will begin her own quest for independence......

In this land of individualism, on a quest for greatness, many run this familiar race. Some run in vain, others race for victory; defining moments are determined by a destiny not held in our hands but by One with divine purposes. We just need to cooperate......

In the area we live, in SoCal and surrounding communities, the mentality seems to be less stress is best. I find myself resisting strife as never before; jealousies are intolerable, and reconciliation is a top priority. Knowing who to trust proves difficult in a land of superficiality, but time does tell the pure from profane. We've landed in a "magical" community.

Balancing the board, riding an ongoing wave, and enjoying the "water."

Even though it seems most everything I do has been for and about my kids in one way or another, I am realizing more and more that I need to make myself a priority. I will no longer worry or feel guilty about it; I'm getting a revelation.

Perhaps it's because I am now a single woman or finding my feminine side again, but I get that I should give to myself first. Because I am giving by nature, I'm not worried about getting out of balance. For me, putting myself first at this point in my life, will only enhance what I give to others......

Last June while visiting Hermosa Beach we somehow failed to put quarters in the street meter, even though we all acknowledged it was there. It was unexplainable and left me with a fine of almost $50 to pay. I remember choosing to look at it as an "investment" in my future.

Less than a year later, I am managing the Prudential CA office in HB:) I'm enjoying the light duties and low stress because it's what I need in my life right now; it is the right season and time. Any further career advancements can come a little later. I hope to finally breathe a bit......

Tonight my baby boy is at a Sadie Hawkins Dance at Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach. Oh, The Places He Will Go...... as one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books says:) As I dropped him off at his friend's house, the moment was very surreal. He is making his way.

My daughter is spending the weekend in Vegas, her first time, and doing what she loves most..... playing volleyball:) She was very excited to have the opportunity. She continues to look for a part time job that will fit her career ideas, as she's completing her final marketing class for graduation in May. Hoping she finds something soon......

I registered Logan for his first beach tournament with the CBVA which I liken to the grass tournaments every weekend in the East. He's looking to get rated and go from there. More details to come. Austin's going to have the Toyota this weekend:)

Handling health insurance changes now that we've been approved by another company here. I guess handling transactions and transitions will be something I can add to the "skills" portion of my resume', lol. You'll always underestimate your abilities until you test yourself and find out what your capabilities actually are.

There is hell to pay in that process but the results can be rewarding. Experience is what I'm basing my "economy" on..........
