Don't Let Go of the Dream

My dream was to live part time in France, part time in California. Exactly 3 years ago I met a Frenchman. Shortly after we got engaged and then I moved to Boston. It wasn't France but I reasoned I was closer to France but it was too cold, too far and I was too lonely. 6 months ago I moved back to California to pursue my goal once again: to live part time in France and part time in California. The Challenge is to create a lifestyle that supports this goal. Any ideas out there?
