In February of 2010, I returned to LA. This second time around, I didn’t need to do as much exploring. Plop me into the middle of Crescenta Valley and I’d find my way back. I’d developed a Southern Comfort within my surroundings and yearned to be active in the community. To while away my days, I began volunteering at the American Cancer Society’s Discovery Shop in Toluca Lake.
I miss the Discovery Shop dearly. Some of my favourite items of clothing are from there. And the people I volunteered with were seriously top-notch.
On April 14th, I returned to Toronto in spite of my manager’s half-attempts at sponsoring me through the Society. One of the many Returning To Canada presents I received was a locally-made thread-and-sterling necklace from Robyn and her mother Phyllis. The point of the necklace was that I was to essentially wear it out, and once it fell off, my wishes would come true or I’d be a better person or I’d stumble upon a higher power.
Yesterday, it happened:

And are you a better person?
