Why California

- Walkability (health is wealth -- mental, physical)... In Tennessee you had trouble with that aspect.
- It is "home" - roots, connection.... feeling of "calm"
- Outside all the time (helps to distract, stay busy) -- I think I am built to not be "still" for long.
- No radon 
- Beach - salt water heals!
- Born and raised --- double-blessed
- Have a home where you can house people and bless them. 

Praying for a neighborhood and church where we could experience real community. 
* Kids bikes until sunset
* parents chit-chat in driveways
* People know each other’s names.
