For the past week I've tried to sit down to write a blog, but nothing comes out. I am speechless and can't quite explain what's been going on. I'm not going to superstitious and think that because I'm about to write about how happy I've been, that I'm going to jinx myself.
While I don't understand this newfound happiness, I am delighted. I feel like I'm finally getting to know myself and the city and it all seems like a perfect fit. Most would find that odd since I've barely ventured out and I can't tell one neighborhodd from the next. Or maybe it's because I'm surrounding myself with really genuine optimistic people lately. I guess I don't need to know why or where it all came from, but I should just be thankful that the storms have passed.
I don't know if any of you have had the chance to read Alese's blog yet. It has impacted my life more than I ever thought a stranger could. I never knew her and yet listening to the stories that people shared at her funeral made me realize that I'm not fully living my life.
Her family contacted me yesterday through my blog and I can't figure out the best way to get in touch with them so I decided I'd just continue to write about her life and how many people have been impacted by her electricity. All week I've shifted my thinking and realized how self-absorbed I tend to be. In conversations and emails, I am always focused around my life and what's going on with me. But this week something changed and I found myself wanting to live my life more like Alese.

Wow.....In tears and cannot seem to come up with the write words to express all I'm feeling after reading the beautiful things you wrote about our beloved daughter Alese Coco.
I was cleaning up my google account and removing things I had once followed and just re-read your response to me from 2010. Please forgive me for not remembering, but did I ever write you back by email maybe? If I never did, I want to take this time to tell you how truly sorry for not responding.
If your still living in Torrance or the south bay I would love to have coffee with you sometime. You can contact me at ikeptfaith@gmail.com God Bless you sweetheart.
I must say, I really enjoyed going through your blogs and reading your genuine, funny, enlightening, intelligent posts. What a Beautiful soul you are!
