HOW TO LIGHTEN YOUR LIFE---DO YOU LIKE WHERE YOU LIVE?



Making a lighter-life: I have been studying the happiest states and countries for years along with what makes a person happy.  This is a recent listing: http://www.livescience.com/43489-happiest-state-revealed.html it is consistent, that material things are not on the short list.   

I made the decision that 2014 would be the year for me to become ‘lighter’ and to have a ‘lighter-life’.  This blog will explore, through my process, developing lightness—I hope you find inspiration to find some lightness in your life.

In reading and talking to many people; the weather makes a huge difference in everyday life.  And for the last several months, much of our country has had a challenging winter and I know that extreme cold and ice are not something I want to live in nor extreme heat.  I have other friends that live for winter and winter sports and others that want to live where there are 4 distinct seasons.  I know life gets in the way but perhaps living someplace where you don’t dread the outside is worth a consideration. 

That is my focus in locating work and a place to live.  California?  And yes, I know there are other places in the world with great weather but my dog is my family (and with pet quarantines in most countries-I will not put her through that) so the U.S. is my home, for now.

Maybe the idea of an environment where you can be active and enjoy being outside is something to consider for you?   

Where would you like to live?
