Unexpected Changes

December 27, 2025 | by Natalie Caine | No Comments

When Pacific Palisades was burning, I had no choice but to leave behind home, friends, work, and all the small comforts that make life feel steady.

What I didn’t know then was how much I’d learn about myself along the way.

Almost a year later, I feel awe—for the journey, the growth, and the unexpected beauty of starting again.

I’m safe. I’m happy. And yes, I’m actually liking this new adventure 3,000 miles from home.

Even if it’s 20 degrees and I’ve run out of salt melt.

If you have ever lived and are living unexpected changes, I’d love to hear about it.

Take care,

Natalie
