Our sweet life in LA

Moving to LA was one of the most difficult decisions I ever made. I had to take Luke out of school, turn down tons of work, sell our house and things, and start a brand new life on the other side of the country. It was a gamble. After 6 months…would we love it or would we hate it?

I can safely say it’s the best adult decision I ever made! If you are sitting somewhere reading this and feeling unhappy about your life and where you are living, don’t be afraid to make a change. Moving and starting over has inspired me to be completely true to myself, as a human being, a mom, and with the direction of my business. I didn’t want to make the huge change of moving and then not commit all the way in all areas of my life. So still working hard on creating just the life I want. I have a gratitude app on my Iphone ( highly recommend it) and first on my list most days is definitely our sweet new life here. It has such beautiful simplicity.

In the mornings and evenings I either take bike or walk the dogs…READ MORE Our sweet life in LA →

The magical, romantic California Sunsets

I know all of you on the east coast is beng pummeled by snow and rain, and all you European readers have cold, dark days right now.

So I thought you might enjoy some of the amazing sunsets we enjoy here in Cali every night. We live 20 blocks from the beach in Santa Monica. And if there is ever a day I’ve been sitting in the office too long, or feeling a lack of gratitude, I jump on my bike and go down to the beach. If you follow me on INSTAGRAM@JILLSORENSEN you know I can’t stop posting them.

There is never a time it doesn’t leave me in awe of how amazingly beautiful the world is. And seeing the majestic view makes me feel grateful over the simple things.
And there is no doubt — nature truly is the best designer.READ MORE The magical, romantic California Sunsets →

We have arrived!

We our now living in California. I still can’t believe it.

We have settled in to our cute little rented bungalow. It’s been a long, hard exhausting process emotionally and physically that included 5 days of camping in our new house with no internet for 9 days. (I now officially hate aero beds and FIOS. There I said it.)

For the longest time Luke had a wishlist — he wanted to live in a place where it was warm all the time, in a small house in a neighborhood he could bike around in, with a bedroom across the hall from mine and a mail slot in the door.

I committed to changing my life and living it the way I always had imagined, instead of settling.

It has not been easy, nothing worth doing is ever easy and I know there are challenges ahead. But we got what we wished for…

…..even unexpectedly a mail slot in the door.READ MORE We have arrived! →

Instagram addiction

I had the instagram app on my phone for months and ignored it. I didn’t quite understand why people cared about some photo filters. But when my friends Erica and Casey shared how obsessed they were, I of course had to try it.

I just got started this week and I’m hooked. Photo filters are cool.

Luke and I are on a quick trip to LA for some meetings (more on that later) and we want to instagram everything!!

Are you on? Here’s my link: http://instagram.com/jillhsorensen/READ MORE Instagram addiction →
