SUNDAY WILL BE MY ANNIVERSARY WITH L.A. AGAIN!<\/h1>\n

I usually celebrate my anniversary with Los Angeles in this e-zine on the exact day, July 27th. But that date falls on Sunday<\/em> this year, so I\u2019m doing so today, two days in advance. That\u2019s okay, though, because I get the added happiness of looking forward to it for these extra couple of days.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not too much left to say about my anniversary than I already have in my previous<\/em> articles on the topic here in INAM, for most of the past fifteen years, (I neglected to write about it a few times, usually because one review or essay or rant took precedence on the date,) but I really do still love this city, and am always soooo grateful to have discovered it to begin with.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to hear about my crazy teen-age journey from Brooklyn to LA, (with a few digressions, of course\u2014have you met<\/em>\u00a0me?!,) including why I decided to stay, and how I celebrate my anniversary with LA each and every year, here\u2019s the link to my YouTube video on the subject: www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_gtPybsO6VE&feature=youtu.be.<\/a> I actually shot it a few years ago, so I\u2019m a tad chubbier in the vid than I am now, in case you\u2019re a judger, (as I<\/em> often am, especially of myself<\/em>!)<\/p>\n

Now here\u2019s the important<\/em> aspect of what I have to say in the video, for not only your girl here. My tale is truly not just about me.<\/em> It\u2019s actually a story about life and opportunities and being brave and realizing what you really want. And looking for signs from the universe.<\/p>\n

So even though we\u2019re celebrating me<\/em>\u00a0this weekend, (and<\/em> LA, of course,) I hope that everyone who watches this video will be able to apply something from it to their own lives. In great ways only!<\/p>\n
