Wish They All Could Be California Feefs

A feef story:

After 4 years of living in New York City, I decided to find my Feef--who had been living in California ever since I was a little girl.  So in 2001, I picked up stakes and moved out to San Francisco, without a job and only knowing a few people.  What I found was my destiny.  I made an amazing group of friends (who are like family) and after several tries at what I had been doing as work in NYC, finally found a professional home in a completely different and exciting field.  I also found the love of my life who I finally married in August after 5 years together.  We are now expecting our first child and are overjoyed.

If I had ignored my Feef's constant calls to move West, my life would be totally different today and who knows if I wouldn't still wonder about what life could have been like if only I had taken that giant leap.  I am so happy I did!

My Feef Was Right Where I Left It

A feef story:

While I was in law school in Cleveland, I successfully (if only temporarily) captured my feef.  However, after law school I moved to Cincinnati to take a job I would soon grow to hate.  While in Cincinnati I never went out or met anyone new.

After a couple years of this, I decided I desperately needed to find my feef.  So I quit my job in Cincinnati and moved back to the exact same apartment in which I lived during law school.  Thankfully, my feef was right where I had left it.

In a matter of weeks after making that move, I recaptured my feef.  Once I had my feef again, I found a new job I love, began to go out and socialize and generally began to love life again.

I hope I never lose my feef again!

Many Feef Moments

A feef story:

I love the idea of "freeing your feef"!  I think it is open to many interpretations depending on what is happening in your life. I have had many "feef" moments in my life, but most recently it came in the shape of a big move to South Florida.  I think any big move in life takes courage and a little luck.  For me, it also took a lot of support from my great friends.  During my decision process, I spent many nights drinking wine and taking walks with my friends.  Their support, energy, and willingness to inspire each other was critical.  Thanks to them, and some good fortune, I'm now freeing my feef overlooking the ocean...
