Moving from a Big City in California to a Small Town in Missouri

In the 6 years since I moved from CA I have lived in two houses, weathered a pandemic, adopted a dog and become a great-grandmother. Life is keeping me busy.

To honor the anniversary of my move, I thought it might be nice to share the series of posts I wrote about it all in one place.

I’ve coached several people looking to make a similar change and I know there are many more who are considering it. This story can help you know if a similar move is right for you.

It’s also an opportunity to share about the small town that welcomed me and that I’ve grown to love.

So here they are. I hope you enjoy them.
