California is like a cult. It's not a religion it's an attitude of life. And yet I am trying to invade it giving them a southern hospitality feel that really confuses this cult. People actually enjoy talking about themselves around here. The problem is- NO ONE asks them! People in retail need those friendly customers to make it through the day. Trust me, I KNOW from experience. Smiling at people who work at gas stations- most don't speak much English, but no one cares about them. I have never felt like I have been making this much of a difference in such a long time, and it is just by being myself.
One very close friend told me before I left for California, "California changes people." Well, not me- or atleast not yet. It maybe changing me for the better and helping other people that it doesn't have to be so "Marin." I love that I feel helpful and needed in this community and let me tell you- They all need Jesus.
So keep praying.
