Dear Los Angeles,
You were never just a city.
You were a dream I didn’t dare to dream aloud—
a quiet wish carried on sea breeze and golden light.
And somehow, you found me.
You held me gently near the Pacific’s edge,
wrapped me in your soft marine layers,
and whispered, Stay awhile.
I did.
Long enough to make lifelong friends.
Long enough to feel the rhythm of your heart
in the tink of wine glasses,
in beach walks at sunset,
in neighbors who became dear friends.
In your arms, a miracle unfolded:
a path opened for my son and me—
Residency not just of place,
but of belonging.
Something I never thought possible
was born in your warmth and will never leave me.
And here, in your humming palms and hummingbirds,
a seed took root—
the first spark of InnerSupport.AI,
a wild idea that found its first form
in the same week I say goodbye to you.
What poetry is that?
Los Angeles, you are where my soul learned a new language—
one of risk, wonder, and wild becoming.
Thank you for letting me live on your edge.
Thank you for every mystery that met me at my door.
Miami is calling now.
But a piece of me will always be yours.
With love,
Stacey
