My life came to an abrupt halt recently. I mean like an all-stop, sudden, hard, hit-a-wall, sixty-to-zero in 5 seconds flat kind of halt. It left me feeling very lost, confused, and a little scared. Here’s what happened:   Go-Go-Go-GO!!! This isn’t the first time I’ve lived in Los Angeles. I first moved here back…

Have you gone through a major life change? I’m talking the big stuff — like moving to a new state, starting a new career in a new field, getting married or divorced, having your first child, learning you have cancer or some other major health issue, losing a loved one, something like that.
