Spirit time in Santa Monica continues. Yesterday, I saw a few of my favorite old friends. And I got some great big hugs.

It’s SO great seeing everyone’s smiling faces. Everyone looks really good. I can’t wait to see more and more old friends this week.

It’s like I never left, and at the same time, I feel like a guest in my own home.

Krista had me over for an amazing dinner and Daralisa picked me up and gave me homemade baked treats (a hobby we used to share when I was here). But both of them have moved from Santa Monica since I left.

There are new stores and new faces in places I used to frequent.

My old office is just an empty room full of boxes.

But the sun still sets the with same vibrancy as it always did.

As much as things change, so many things stay the same.
