Validation

I very often seek validation for the choices I have made. Everything from what I want for lunch to moving 400 miles north. I seek that validation. Usually I get it when I make the right choice....

Yesterday my father , who is a pro photographer , was in foster city (A suburb of SF about 25 miles out) doing a gig for a big credit card company. He was doing the walk through yesterday when he noticed a big stage and a huge sound set up , complete with a sound man.

My dad being the guy he is , walked right up to the sound guy and asked him how business was. The sound guy replied that it was FANTASTIC and that this year alone he made enough to purchase his second house in SF. My dad then proceeds to mention my story . me moving back to do live sound full time , and the sound guy flips out. In a good way. He gave my father his card , and said that I should join the union here in the city. In fact if I mention his name he would get me into the apprenticing program that pays people to learn the craft. Ecstatic my father calls me and gives me the news....

That was the validation that i needed to drive that last nail in. I always knew that this was the right choice no matter how much I miss LA. This just was the icing on the cake.
