SF and Santa Rosa

Many of you know my intentions on coming back north were to:
1. figure out what the hell I want to do with my life
2. Search for the best opportunities that will direct me in that path
3. Reconnect with old cronies


A couple of weeks ago, I headed west to check in with some good friends, do a little job searching and scout out some potential new homes. While about, I took some MAJOR trips down memory lane. Seems like that is becoming pretty consistent in my life these days. I love it.

First stop, Rhonert Park, CA. to visit one of my bestest boys, Ton (Tony, Heman). I've known Tony since we were little tykes roaming around the wilderness of AC. Here, Ton and some of his friends showed me some eclectic bars and what not. I spent a good time in the local java cafe searching for jobs...what a cute, quaint little place.

A quick jont to Santa Rosa led me to meet up with an old Film Doctors and Poly friend, Sierra and her BF, Britton. Some apetisers, wine and consignment shopping were a great way to start off that night! I miss you two!

Second stop, Sebastapol, CA. to visit another bestest bud, Ryan (OC). Ry showed me Sebastapol is awesome!!! I want to live in this little NorCal paradise! (chances and points for this one are high) I had the best yerba mate ever (yes, better than my fave spots in SB) and you can definitely say organic, juice bars, yoga and healthy living here. Im in love....gorgeous redwoods, close to the water, rural, good people. Doesnt get much better than this.

The last pit stop on my northern, west coast adventure was the grand San Francisco. I reconnected with some good college cronies here...it is so good to see some of the SLO crew! Although, I didnt get to see all those that I wanted to. Tim, Michie, Shauna, Minna...woo, woo!! A drive through the city and dinner and drinks on Haight, a night next to Ocean Beach and one in the Mission, some Ethiopian food, some Jamaican food, more java cafes and a potential home were just a few of my adventures. I spent a good deal of my time prepping resumes and sending them out, making appointments and even scoring a couple interviews...which lead to more drives through the city. I became hypnotized by and fell in love with it's little-big city charm.


In short, I made my first attempt in the transition to find new opportunities, a path and connect with old friends. It was an awesome, successful and a most inspiring weekend! Thanks to all who participated! Miss you dearly already...xoxo
