SoCalGoddess is a blog about living, loving and thriving in the 805. I am a long, long time resident of Ventura. I went to elementary and high school (Go Buena Bulldogs) here as well as attending some classes at Ventura College. I have a Bachelor of Science in Business Management and a MBA. I was in the work force for 52 years and retired in 2014. My daughters were born, raised and educated in Ventura and I am married to a man who has lived here even longer than I have. We have 2 cats, 1 dog and 5 offspring, 6 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild between us. My husband and I love living in this area that we call paradise. I hope you enjoy this blog and I appreciate any and all input.
