I am so happy to see that you are loving San Francisco!

You said something about how being “forced” to make your transition somehow makes it less impressive – to you at least – and I feel compelled to say, “Girl no it don’t.”

Most people who make a move like this are generally led or left with seemingly little other options because of a ton of factors. Jobs, relationships…. Life… And to me, the reason doesn’t matter so much as the bravery and enthusiasm one (god willing) adopts when they tackle these new developments. It can be an adventure or a shit-show.

You seem to be making it into an adventure. And a super fun one.

(And plus you work for Adobe AAAAAH.)

granted I’m a whole 6 weeks LATE reading this post – it still rocks and so do you and your bravery.

I’ve never been to SF. Fall trip to the west coast!

I’ve moved quite a bit and I can tell you with each move, it is like a new chapter in my life. I remember events, not by the months but where I was. . . and when that event happened in relation to my last move. Moving makes you feel like you get a rebirth or at least a little more growth. Good luck

Having gone through a VERY SIMILAR transition earlier this year (how bizarre) – I definitely know where you’re coming from. For you, it was a necessary move – for people looking at how you picked up your life and moved across the country, it is a desirable step that maybe they can’t (or never thought to) take. Now it sparked something in them and they’re ready to take a leap of faith.

So, guts (always get the theme song from the show in my head when I see “guts”)/courage/bravery…whatever: you inspire people, lady!

Which makes me an expert on the subject, natch.
