OT – I’m Moving to Ojai

[Enorah]

CA Renter, we have received much guidance along the way. For instance, when living in Chicago and deciding to move to CA a client of mine recommended Guerneville based on what our needs were. As it so happened our landlady’s sister was living in Santa Rosa and owned a summer cabin in Forestville (town right next to Guerneville), which we found out once we started to explore the idea of Guereneville.

For this move, we had been thinking we might like Ojai and playing with the idea for some time. A couple of weeks ago we went to “Tomato Mania” at Quail Botanic Gardens. The dude who was running the show spoke at the end of the day, and we arrived just in time to hear him. One of the first things he said was, “My farm is in Ojai”. He was kind enough to speak with us afterward for a long while about living in Ojai.

The next day we met woman who was visiting here from Carpinteria (right near Ojai). We have learned to pay attention over the years when messages repeat. So four days later we drove up to Ojai and found a place to live that afternoon.

I am aware of a natural kind of magic that moves within and throughout all of us. Our lives tend to work beautifully for us when we pay attention to the direction that magic wishes to take us.

Off we go!

Enorah, I always knew that you and I were kindred spirits 🙂 My partner and I have also decided to move to Ojai (or Carpinteria) in a few months. It is most definitely time to leave L.A. And we, too, are being called. Ojai/Carp is close enough to L.A. to allow us to visit and allow me to tele-commute a few days a week until I am laid off after my contract expires in March 2011. Ihave no bloody idea how my company will survive until then, but if they do I’m getting paid 🙂

We’ve got an organic garden all planned out in our minds, and we have our eyes on a few houses on decent acreage with large back yards and plenty of room for our son and dogs to romp. I don’t think folks are going to adjust easily to the coming *changes* this year, and my sense is that it would be prudent to be around fewer people than more. A peaceful place in the country will be priceless. Perhaps you and I can hang out when we get there!

Partypup: Don’t forget the Claymore mines! You’ll also need something heavy, preferably a .50cal, to control the open areas of your property. Don’t forget: Maintain good fields of fire.

They also have lots of those “free love” hippie types going free range up there in Ojai, too. Watch out for VW microbuses, Grateful Dead t-shirts and excessive body hair/odor. Those are tip-offs that those granola crunching peaceniks are nearby. Same with references to the ’60s, Mother Jones magazine and “The Man”.
