It's not about me, either, but I have definitely found in my extensive travels, whatever it is, personal development-wise, that needs attention, it becomes bigger and more apparent for me when I go to a new place. Maybe because there is not the usual support system and routine to fall back on. Also because, I think, I travel with the intention of being self-aware, so that I can be more and more present for others -- which in a foreign country can be even more challenging than in L.A.!
Lots of good luck with your music (and attraction
) Cylon, and lots of good luck to you, Rockchick, in aligning your vibration with your desire. And never underestimate gossipy, whiny old women -- some of us know a lot of musicians we can introduce you to!
