As a life coach I know that there are two basic elements to consider when trying to realize a dream: creating a vision and taking the steps to turn the vision into a reality. When looking for the place you will call home it's important to do the research, to learn what you can from statistics, rankings, other's experiences…but this type of external information is just one part of the larger story. Before you can even begin researching specific towns you need to have a clear picture of what you desire. What I propose is taking time to really consider what's important to you and from there develop a vision for where you want to live.

I invite you to use the steps I've outlined to develop and clarify your personal vision for a dream town. All you need is a little bit of time, a notebook and committment to your journey. Enjoy!

I went through all your steps of finding the ideal place to call home and wow.... I have actually crossed three cities off my list and narrowed my search down even further. From doing your exercises...(and) because of your website, we have come to the conclusion that we would rather feel safe and accepted in the town and bored out of our skulls than to be close to all of the action and have to face higher crime rates and the like. - Becca C., KS
