Jeanette Arveschoug:  

irs which has been a great gig - a great stepping stone & means to acquire contacts for future endeavors. I'm not married & don't have any children - yet (and I know I'm pushing it!), but I believe that things will happen when they're ready. In 1998, I moved my mother & father here from Inverness to take care of them, as they were elderly. I'm saddened to say that my father passed away 2 years ago. Needless to say, the last 4 years have been my most challenging! I've dealt with things I never even considered when I was younger - quite a sobering effect. Presently, my mother lives nearby, she's doing well & I see her often. In 1999 I bought a condo in Tarzana, adjacent to Encino - one of the best things I've ever done! It's been a terrific 10 years out here... I thrive on the energy of the arts! The weather is beautiful, the scenery gorgeous & there's always something to do. There's endless outlets for creativity - not the easiest place to meet people & "make it", but definitely a land of opportunity (and, yes, the traffic is horrendous!). Through all of the chaos, though, I still remember my dreams & know that it's never too late to reach for the stars. And I still remember the best of times in Inverness with friends that I never thought I'd have the opportunity to converse with again! I hope you're all well & that life has been good to you! I'd love to hear from you!
