A Love Letter to Los Angeles

When asked what I love about Los Angeles, sometimes it's hard to verbalize what I love about my glorious city. I recently read an opening from a beautiful book called "Amazing Los Angeles" that voiced my thoughts on the matter very eloquently. 

…And then there’s the stuff that doesn’t change, the things I’ll forever love about LA. 

            I love the contrasts-I love being able to ski in the morning and enjoy an ocean swim in the afternoon.

            I love going to a farmers market in a t-shirt, then to a theater opening in a tuxedo.

            I love the urban splendor and eccentricities of LA’s neighborhoods.

            I love that if I went to a museum virtually every day of the year, I still could not see them all.

            I love watching people shop, and seeing their joy when they find the perfect item.

            I love watching a sushi chef shape his exquisite treats, and the smell of garlic and basil in a trattoria.

            I love when the Dodgers win.

            I love seeing my city as the backdrop in all those movies and TV shows.

            I love that it’s full of promise, that creativity is fostered and that dreams come true. 

Big dreams.
