"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage."- Anais Nin

Courage isn't a word I hear very often here, behind this orange curtain. I am talking about the seclusive world of Orange County, California. I felt spoiled growing up here because everything you could ever want grows in the OC; beautiful beaches, high fashion, cultural venues, and of course Disneyland! Why would anyone want to leave this place or this lifestyle? In a world of instant gratification most never leave!

I am a recent college graduate in a suffering economy. I work at Whole Foods Market and I earn a descent wage; enough for me to pay rent, have a booming social life, travel, and eat healthy food. I have a awesome lifestyle during these hard times. However, my dreams are drifting further away. I need to get out of here!

This blog is about me, Annie McCausland, an ambitious 22 year old, and my journey to personal success. Wish me luck!
