I live in frigid NH and my body can't take the cold any more.  Where
is the best city in the US (or the world for that matter), or the top
three  to live in where it is 1. very WARM and sunny year round (low
hurricane probability would be a plus) 2. within a 30 minute drive to
a beach/ocean that allows dogs or is at least dog-friendly during
certain hours 3.  I can get a 2-bedroom home or condo for $250,000  4.
The cost of living is reasonable  5. there are job opportunities for
new age holistic healing spiritual modalities or wellness centers
(reiki and hypnotherapy); meaning they are forward thinking eastern
philosophy minded.  The numbers indicate most important to least
important aspects.

Is this search limited to the United States or are you open to any
other areas in the world?

I am open to outside the US, but would prefer the US.  I have checked
out Costa Rica and Panama. Thank you.

Houston would be a possibility, although there is a chance of
hurricanes as it sits on the Gulf Coast.  But the Houston area is a
little more inalnd than say New Orleans.
The downside is the smog in that city is pretty thick.

Consider Orlando,Tallahassee or Gainseville Fla. or the Carolina's.
The California coast is prohibitively expensive.

West coast of Puerto Rico-- Cabo Rojo, Combate, Boqueron, around to La
Parguera. If you can add a bit of a psychic schtick to your repertoire
you can go into biz for yourself.
