Most people think of Southern California this way...

...and of course, the beaches are great but there is so much more to Southern California

...Southern California retirement communities start with the mid-coast..San Luis Obispo--the midway point on the Coast between Silicon Valley and Los Angeles -- there's no line that says Southern California starts here, but you can feel it... in the air and climate, see it... in the year-round flowering terrain, and sense it... in the laid-back, chic dress..from LA to Palm Springs..to San Diego..a very motivating area for good nutrition and exercise practices with abundant farmer's markets open every day and mountains and oceans nearby.

"Retirement: After a lifetime of distraction, I finally descend into myself..I wonder what I will discover there. It is as seeing through a crystal clear lake and studying the bottom with fear and joy."
