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....

700 Hours of Learning....start now!

Here goes I am embarking on a two year adventure into myself and the world around me through yoga, massage, coaching and other modalities.  With this journey comes a great reading list and journaling.  This is not something I have ever been able to keep up, with much regularity, as you can see from my posts here.....lol One day I may succeed as I continue to practice for the next two years. I have received the reading list and am happy to have just finished Yoga Sequencing:  Designing Transformative Yoga Classes by Mark Stephens.  This book was suggested to me and for obvious reason, it is incredibly informative.  As a beginning yoga teacher it provided great pictures and foundations for infinite classes that I am now able to create.  It will continue to be on my bookshelf as an excellent reference,and I could reread it still getting useful information a second or third time.  Now I will delve further into this genre of reading with Yoga Anatomy by L...

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.... In June while on vacation I found a tea store selling hand tied leaves.  What a fantastic aroma of jasmine.  It is the Madame Butterfly tea by Capital Teas (www.capitalteas.com).  It was very expensive and I just couldn't afford it but they certainly had lots of great teas. My most recent vacation in Florida found me in the Spice and Tea Exchange (www.spiceandtea.com) where I purchased a small bag of loose leaf hazelnut cookie tea.  Ceylon black base so not my usual herbal but wonderful smell and tastes very rich.  An enjoyable tea....
