Sometimes you have to make a home within yourself. Wherever you move to there are going to be large groups of close minded people. The net is really the best place to meet other different people...for now.

I first moved up to Albany, NY in 2004 and I had a very strange attraction to the town of Woodstock NY about 60 miles south. Which is strange because I'm not a dead head, wasn't into dead heading but I did share alot of beliefs with them such as the environment and health foods, blah blah blah.

I joined the Woodstock Poetry Society and would go down there once a month to recharge my batteries. It actually an artist colony that has been there for about 200 years. Lots of positive energy there and I bring back local artist stuff for gifts.

Hope that helps, its really helped me up here compared to California.
