I Felt that All of Life Was Behind Me as Doors Opened and The Way Was Being Made... It was pretty phenomenal to see that once I made a decision and lined up with it, things came together -- fast! At that point in time, I was living the paycheck-to-paycheck life and had about $2,000 in the bank. I had heard that it was best to have $10,000 in the bank if you had plans to move to Los Angeles without a job. (That came from the Actors I had talked to that were already living there.) I told myself/Life, "I'll go as soon as I feel I have enough of a financial cushion saved up to support me when I get there." I didn't try to figure this out. I kind of assumed I would need to wait and save and be rather patient. To my surprise, not too long after that, I got two letters in the mail. Almost back to back. They were special offers to close out a couple pensions I had from working for other employers. What I recall (this was 10 years ago haha) is that there was some reduction in fees/financial benefit if I fully withdrew and closed the pensions. All in all, that was going to put $6,000 in my pocket and pretty quickly. I had never received letters like this before. Ever! I couldn't deny the perfect timing of them. I told Life, "I'll go when I feel I have enough savings" and within a couple weeks, the letters showed up. Doors were opening, the way was being made. I was choosing to experience better -- to follow my Heart for the first time -- and the way was being made. It Continued to Come Together Knowing I had the money landing in my bank account soon, I began looking for a room to rent in North Hollywood (literally just north of Hollywood). I had a friend living there that I met in an acting class locally. She was currently doing the bi-coastal thing and told me all about living in LA 🌴 Funny enough I found the room pretty quickly. I didn't know it at the time but the room would end up being a 7-minute walk from my local Acting Friend in North Hollywood. I searched for rooms around $700 per month and that led me to have a conversation by phone that lasted 2-hours. I had texted a number in an online ad expressing interest and the guy reached back out within 12-hours. We talked details and then got to know each other. There was a lot in common and he kept telling me, "Dude you SO are going to fit in here!" I had told him that I was very much into plant-based organic food, meditation, yoga, and mindfulness. (In 2014 these had not yet been widely embraced in the town I was living in.) It felt like a relief that my passions would be understood where I was going. 24-hours later, my future roommate reached out and said, "The room is yours." It firmed up I was going and I was going soon! As I said before, once I made the decision -- firmly so -- things just began falling into place. It fell as if All of Life was behind me and ushering me forward in this decision to Follow My Heart and Live a Dream 🎬 🎭 I Didn't Have to Drive Alone! The drive? Oh yeah, then there was that. 2600 miles and I felt like I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on hotels. I did have $8,000 but my mindset at that time was that that was for rent and groceries on the other side. The next thing that fell into place? My youngest sister told me, "I'd love to drive across the country with you! And I mean it, I LOVE to drive! I've always wanted to drive across the country." I was 30, she was 22 and we decided we'd just get there as quickly as possible. (To be continued...) To go to Part Three of this Three Part Share, Click Here.
