I'm moving to LA!
After giving it a lot of thought, I'm actually doing it! For most of the reasons I listed in my previous entry. Told my Mom yesterday am...she was way excited. She & Dad are going to help me move out there...Dad said he's got 2 wks of vacation time he hasn't used up yet. So they'll prob stay with me for like 2 weeks when I go out there.
Since I've made my decision, I've been so excited I'm walking on air. What's even more exciting is that in addition to making my way out there in video production, I'm going to be the FMS mouthpeice of the West Coast! California is so all about New Age & advancing conciousness, I'm sure it's prevalent out there. Dr. Paul Simpson (i'm reading his book now..."Second Thoughts: Understanding the False Memory Crisis & How It Could Affect You"...even though I already know how it can affect me) is a psychologist dedicated to FMS awareness that lives in Phoenix, AZ. It's like 4 hrs from Burbank--the time from here to Cleveland. My parents talked to him when we were going through all the FMS stuff trying to make sense of it. I can hook up with him to help bring about awareness. Sharon will be holding down the East coast, I'll have the West!
I'm going to move back to Cleveland & work just for the summer to save up $$. I've been working on my book & writing it (that's like...all I did today). I want more than anything to talk to people about it & dedicate my life to FMS awareness, prevention, and bringing the families back together, because I know how it destroys families & what hell it can be.
I've also already started looking at apts in Burbank. Its cool because I already know the area(s) now since I lived there. I don't have to question if they're in a bad area or not, or how close they are to the studios.
Side note: Mom scanned & emailed me a paper I had to sign for the lawyers so that I can be involved in the case & letting them represent me. She sent in all the papers today. We're all signed on with the trial now and it's moving forward!
I'm so freaking pumped about my life! Everything's moving forward (my career, the trial against Becky, my book) & it feels SO good! It's like for the first time in my life it's OK for me to tell the honest to God truth about everything that happened, and it's ok for me to. I'm not ashamed about anything or have to be sad about it. It's raw truth, and feels GREAT to be able to finally talk openly about it (before our fam still wanted to keep things under wraps until the trial started moving forward & until Becky got notice that she was being sued by all of us). I don't have to hide anything anymore. Its so freeing & I feel so authentic!
When I'm out in LA you'll have to all come visit me!
