Wow...what a whirlwind...July already?

A lot has changed for me but at the same time nothing has changed....hmmmm

I applied to become a resident of Nicaragua on Monday...huge step in my life path.  I have found that a number of items on this path were in no way, shape or form in my childhood fantasy life or even on my adult bucket list.  I had never given much thought to what is actually required to "retire in another country and live by the ocean".  There is a lot of authenticated paperwork, police stations, interpol...fingerprints, business plans, employee plans, visits to Managua and much more that slips through without much notice.

About a week ago I completed a YTT 300 with Rebecca Hagman.  It was challenging, but rounds out 620 hours of training I took with her over the last 3 years.  120 hours of thai massage and 500 hours of yoga.  I have read numerous books which you can find on my library page.  Now I just want to read fluff for a month or 2....

However.....I have plenty more goals and things on my bucket list.

I am working toward 1000 hours of teaching now, so I can take the next step with all my training.

I am taking appointments for private and thai massage clients.

I am organizing a retreat here in Nicaragua for November 2017.  It is the weekend of the 24, 25, 26.  The theme is Kurmasana....We will go see baby turtles be released, reforest the mangroves on Isla Juan Vernado, work on kurmasana pose, surf, enjoy great vegetarian food, meditation and comraderie.  Please check it out here under offerings.


I am making another concerted effort to improve my spanish.  I did give myself another 3 years to be fluent but if I got there faster all the better.  And I have a lot of studying to do before I am fluent.


The LPCG is planning events for September, November, and then the Christmas Parade and helping with the indigenous children's Christmas Event. Stay tuned on our facebook page for more info.

And I will continue to keep you in the loop through my bujo as well.  I still haven't done the instagram thing but....

Week 2: Monday-Thursday

Day 5:  NO spending day.  It was a quiet Monday. Day 6:  I spent approx $6.00 to fill a prescription. I should probably update you on another goal I had for this year.  I have been trying to make it to the gym twice a week since January.  It doesn't seem like a big goal but some weeks it is tough. Truthfully I haven't made it even once in the last  two weeks but I got back on track today with a bootcamp class at the YMCA I go to.  Although I am not noticing much difference in my weight or how I look I have noticed a substantial difference in how I feel......GREAT!  I am also hoping it will translate into an improved softball season. I may never be in the shape I was at 20 again but I can certainly try and be closer than I am now. Today was also lunch date day.....my coworker brought pulled pork sandwiches with carrot stick and cherry tomatoes.  She also made chocolate peanut butter squares....ummm delicious.  I will have to get that ...

So This is Christmas

So this is Christmas And what have you done? Another year over And a new one just begun And so this is Christmas I hope you have fun The near and the dear one The old and the young A very merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear And so this is Christmas For weak and for strong For rich and the poor ones The world is so wrong And so happy Christmas For black and for white For yellow and red ones Let's stop all the fight I was reminded of this song at a dinner theatre I went to on Monday so I looked it up and here it is.  It is amazing that a song written so many years ago is still so relevant today.  You would think with evolution and technology and all the advances of today's world there would be no validity in songs like this.  Wrong! I only hope that we as citizens of the world can join forces as one in time to save ourselves.

I am cooking from the ingredients I have!

I found a website that allows you to put in the ingredients you have in your kitchen and then gives you recipes to use them.  I have added the gadget to my blog if you want to check out how it works.  I am going to try it because I am always trying to find new ways to prepare all the things I like to eat in my kitchen.  It takes recipes from a multitude of good cooking sites such as Martha Stewart, Epicurious, All recipes and more. this week I will try the puffed pancake with strawberries and I don't have to check because Supercook already figured that out for me......
