Oregon: A Place of Peace I've Never Felt Before
Going to Oregon and falling in love with it was never part of any grand plan of mine.
All of it just happened. I agreed to a road trip to help a little sister relocate her life up there and had no inclination for what Oregon was about.
I was just going to show up and let everybody and everything else guide me on this adventure.
Being in Oregon truly felt like coming home for me.

I have two homes that I exist in simultaneously: the one in my head and the one in my reality. As a creative, I most often live in my head more than anywhere else. This is the part of me that most people see whether online or offline.
Everything about me, from the decor I use, the clothes I wear to even the perfume I spray, is built on the creation of a dream realm.
But Oregon…it grounded me in my reality in such a way that made me want to stay. It provided balance that I don’t often have.
Simply put, being there literally pulled me down to earth and had me saying, “I could stay here forever.”
Who knew that feeling the closest to heaven was a place on earth?
Where is THAT place for you?
