Lydia's Story

Life 1971, year of the Sylmar earthquake, I moved to California. Everyone said I was crazy but I figure you go when your time comes. I am single; I enjoy the freedom to be spontaneous; come and go as I please. 1994, Northridge earthquake - I was at the epicenter, my home and place of employment were condemned. I had to relocate home and employment - 9 months later I moved back to Northridge. Still here... I love to travel; usually looking for places to see. Trained as a graphic artist in my free time I am working on a digital/interactive photo CD of family pictures. Rare one of a kind photos - it's so exciting! I have wondered what my life would have been if I had remained in Chicago. If I had to do over the only thing I would change would be to moved to California sooner.
