Thanks, Steven! Reading about your own move to a more rural area was inspiring.

So glad you made the decision to honor your regular need for this vitamin Chris. Every time another human prioritizes such basic and organic balance and rightness we're all restored or at least reminded of the bedrock elements of sanity. I'm so grateful that I live in a city where this kind of breath-taking, soul-restoring beauty is a 20 minute bike ride away.

Thanks, Rick! It is so hard to trust intuition or instincts sometimes when the overarching social narrative doesn't value such choices. Also glad you've found a city surrounded by natural beauty. (Where do you live, by the way?)

I've always wanted to visit Vancouver, but still haven't made it up there. My sister lives in Seattle, which I always enjoy visiting.

Dinner at my house is waiting for you if you make it up here.

Congrats on your relocation. Sounds beautiful, though I can’t help but love San Diego as I sit here on vacation, away from our home in Cleveland. It’s all relative I suppose. I’m from Northern California and I love each of the different areas of the state for different reasons. Enjoy 😊

California is truly wonderful in the diversity of ecozones we have! Just for fun, here are a few places in San Diego where I did find beauty:

--Torrey Pines

--La Jolla Cove/Windansea

--Encinitas (SRF Meditation Garden, Moonstone Beach)

--Elfin Forest

--Balboa Park (I used to be a member of the Japanese Garden)

Great spots. We stayed in Torrey Pines and attended a wedding overlooking La Jolla Cove.
