Whoa! That's a lot of changes!
My journey has only just begun. I've been living in California (not to be confused with "Cali" as I am told by the locals that is a sure way to identify yourself as a tourist and not cool at all! haha) So anyways, I've been in California since the end of April and life has changed immensely. I barely recognize the face in the mirror anymore. My eyes are brighter, my skin clearer, and let's not forget that you can play connect the dots on nearly every inch of my body :) Living here has been more than just a change of scenery. Every day is like paradise. I can enjoy the sun without the humidity suffocating me or having to fight off the all you can eat buffet that my booty once provided to the Indiana mosquitoes! My ass is thanking me...
The ocean breeze stretches out and can be felt inland nearly every place I've been in North County, San Diego. I have yet to see one pissed off person since I've moved here. People are much happier, friendlier and healthier. I think it's safe to say that this piece of paradise promotes happiness and health.
I have recently Californicated myself, as a good friend so kindly put it. I have taken up a Vegan lifestyle and am already feeling the positive effects. My health is improving, my sleep is improving and my energy level is through the roof. One positive change seems to breed other positive changes. I feel more empowered and in control of my health more so than ever before, or perhaps just my awareness of it has increased. Either way...it's a very good thing! Not only that but hopefully my choice and the knowledge I can provide to others will affect a change in them as well.
Every day I am changing for the better. I love the person I see in the mirror every day. I look forward to seeing the continuing changes in me. Finally, I have found a place that really feels like home and I'm not sure I'll ever leave. Unless something better presents itself in the universe!
Time will tell. But for now, my journey is here...destination unknown.
