A Trip to LA to Change Your Point of View

Who’s to say whether the life one person chooses to lead is one you could imagine for yourself? Does that make their desire for meaning, comfort, love and compassion any less real?

Have you ever questioned your POINT OF VIEW? We live in different kinds of homes, have different lifestyles and ways of expression; what each of us values as THE GOOD LIFE will always remain a personal preference, a result of our points of view. The good life is in the eye of the beholder.

Part of what many see as the good life is affording those little extras. So, as Vienna gets colder, how about a quick weekend away… Can you feel the warm LA breeze?
