I love the ocean and live right on the Gulf of Mexico... Florida's West Coast. I get to watch the world go by in the form of people watching (my favorite), boats, planes, parasails, chapels (really), dolphins, etc... The sunsets from my balcony and the beach are glorious! I moved here from lovely Southern California where I had my own interior design business. I wanted to be near family and fortunately, my career transfers to most areas. Yes, the decline in the housing market impacts me to some degree. I am delighted that my ventures into network marketing are providing more income than I imagined!
