I’m feeling a bit lost. I am in a place that really doesn’t have any ‘energy’ flowing through it. Have you ever been in a place that feels in a way ‘dead’? I am looking at this place and wondering where the heart of it is. I can’t seem to find it.

I look around at all the groomed lawns, the gated communities and the cookie cutter homes and I realize that this place is fun to visit but I could never live here. I love being here and seeing new places. I have tried a few great restaurants. I have even seen a sea turtle nest. Going to Delray Beach was fun, what a HOT day though. I came to Florida during the 100 degree heat, I need to come during Winter, it would rock then for sure! Now that I have more friends and loved ones here I have a place to come visit when the cold gets me down!

I know that this is just another chapter that is about to close, for now….

I am lucky to live in a place that recycles everything everywhere! A place that has organic food everywhere! A place that is creative in everything that it has to offer! A place with art everywhere you look! Dancing, painting, singing, parties,creative LovE in every place I go…. Art is such a huge part of my life and I feel alone and almost sad to walk around and not have it in every corner of the city. If only I could expose all the folks down here to what I get to do and see every day in Portland. As I typed that I just realized that maybe some of these folks wouldn’t understand that kind of lifestyle. Some folks think that Portland is “weird” and I like that. I am a bit different anyway so I belong there. The people I have seen here or spent time with wouldn’t fit there just like I don’t fit here. I guess that’s what makes the world go around. People are all different for a reason, and I like that. “It takes all kinds”…. That is what my Grandma used to say, she was always right.

Learning more and more as I go…..
