1/2 Year Update



On A Whim in Nicaragua started in December 2015 looking like this.........
 



I like a challenge and that includes learning another language and culture, being an entrepreneur for the first time and so many other challenges that get lost in the mix.  It's quite a change of lifestyle and one that I am grateful and privileged to be able to try.  I am not wealthy and therefore and growing this studio, gallery, pool and event venue organically.  A rapid pace towards my goal while enticing is not what I am ready for I don't think and so I find much accomplishment in doing the work and seeing even small changes happen.

It will take some time but check out the changes in only 7 months....

Watch for monthly updates on my progress and plantings.  I have many projects I would like to do and am doing it on a very small budget so recycle, reuse, resourceful is my motto.  Who knows what I may come up with.

My Cup O Tea

Over the years I have become a fan of tea.  My favourites are non-caffeine.  Green Teas, herbal teas and rooibus.  Almost any loose leaf tea will do.  I once got chamomile tea from a friends parents and it was really just a whole baggie of chamomile flowers.....it was from a place in Sarnia, Ontario but I am not sure exactly where.  It just seems so much fresher when you can recognize it by sight....

August 2017: No More Practice Journal

Taking a break after setting up for August. Lovin' life at the beach. He knew just what I wanted. At the end of the rainbow! Where the butterflies fly and the habit trackers track... There's a bi-weekly vertical dutch door set up with lots of list space on the other side.  I have a number of items that happen every week and being a bullet journal, meant to be about productivity, I really don't want to write them every week. They fit great in the left margin. These are the beginning of some collections I am working on for the year.   The @ is for my websites page views and blog post dates.  The yoga man is for tracking my teacher hours, but I have not figured out how to create something to color here and incorporate the information I want to keep.  Like me on facebook:  onawhimnicaragua . Help color another lotus petal....
