Driving in L.A.

On May 5, 2012 By

Recently, I’ve made a few trips up to Los Angeles to meet with clients and prospects and do some Beaming Bohemian business.  You may remember that I lived in L.A. for five years before I moved to Japan in July of 2002. As apprehensive as I was at the time to move from Santa Barbara [...]

Jury Duty

On November 17, 2011 By

Today I fulfilled my civic duty and spent the day at the courthouse for jury duty. To be honest, I have never served jury duty before. When the papers arrived at my parents’ house, I was either away at college or overseas. There were no excuses this time, I had to go.

If you’ve never [...]

As I continue to settle into a life in the US, I have taken the time here and there to go through my boxes.  I’ve got just a “few” in my parents’ storage shed.  My dad would looove for me to take all of them, but I don’t really have the space yet for my [...]

Two weeks went by too quickly.  I didn’t do enough. I wish I could have seen more people.  Squeezed in a trip to San Francisco or even Dallas.  That would have been good.  So many things going on in my head and my heart.  I’m not sure I got enough hugs from my niece. Will [...]

When you live abroad for a good chunk of time, coming home for a visit can bring about a flood of emotions.  I love seeing my family and friends, but I always feel a bit like a stranger or even a foreigner in my own country. Living without has been my m.o. this last year [...]

My peeps, yo yo!

On February 13, 2010 By

Whenever I make a visit home, I always split my time between San Diego and Los Angeles.  L.A. is like the other place I grew up in the sense that the five years I lived there were really remarkable years of growth for me both professionally and personally.  And it was in L.A. where I [...]

This little girl is quickly becoming the highlight of my vacation – and only on day three!  My cutie-pie little niece, Laniah will be two in April and boy is she full of personality already.  This picture is from one of the many moments we spend in the front yard.  NiNi loves her little chair [...]

I knew immediately that I had landed back in California.  Standing around the luggage carousel, I watch as nearly everyone put their phone to their ear or talked loudly with their hands-free robotic ear piece safely clipped on.  I’m sure every single person on my flight was some super major important person who just couldn’t [...]
