This had me misty-eyed Caroline, it resonated so much with my own journey returning to Fresno after over a decade in San Diego. I hope you fall in love with the version of yourself you discover in every place you visit! :)

So happy this resonated but I also had no idea you were back in Fresno!! Next time I’m in town we can get lunch 😊

As my Dad has grown fond of saying "the good ones go first" I miss you already Caroline.

I just saw this trailer for a upcoming movie called "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey" that really resonated with me. I immediately thought of you. Go have grand adventures 🙌

I came across your page through participating in some of the Soulfull events & following that substack. I really really love your writing! This piece really spoke to me - it captures the exact sentiments I have been feeling but haven’t been able to put into words, as I’m also leaving the first city that felt like home to me (Berkeley) 🤍
