Much to my surprise, I thought I wanted to be a world traveler, foot-loose and fancy free, when deep inside I longed to be with family, community, and a life of consistency. Journal entries held the key, so I release yet another layer of false identity.

Getting clear on our desires as we align with our deeper truths is an aspect of transformation and manifestation that never fails to amaze me. What are you dreaming of creating these days? How powerfully are you connecting with your deepest truth and heart’s desires? Do you trust that the Universe has your back?

Manifesting some dreams down here in Costa Rica, I drew this reading to inspire my desire to sink roots into this land. For those of you that know Tarot, the future looks bright! Anyone care to offer your own interpretation?

As I was strolling along the jungle path leading from beach to beach, I caught myself head down, charging forward with the end point in mind—the farthest beach that I find to be most beautiful. But then I stopped. I paused, looked up, and took in all the beauty that was right before me. I decided to walk the path in a way that brought a freshness to every step. To pretend that I had never been here before. To see it all through fresh eyes. As if I’ve never been here…

It became a simple mantra. A reminder to let go of what is familiar and habitual to meet the moment with a fresh perspective. I invite you to take this mantra into your everyday life. Perhaps it’s moving through your home, walking around your neighborhood, or hiking along your favorite trail. Slow down. Look again. Notice what you normally pass by. As if I’ve never been here…

Wrapping up yet another season here at Encanta La vida, I’m marinating in all the goodness that has unfolded over the last two months. My favorite time of year is this green season when the rain falls each evening and the sun shines in the morning. It’s a little bit cooler, a lot quieter, with a special circle of humans coming together to bask in the awe and wonder of it all. So thankful. What joys fill your basket of abundance today?

Let’s begin with a breath together. A slow inhale. A soft exhale. Feel that? That simple pause invites you back to center. Back to what matters. In both Yoga and Ayurveda, your true nature is understood as divine—a spiritual being having a human experience. And when we forget that… we begin to feel anxious, disconnected, and lost. Yoga reminds us: You are not separate. You are not alone. You are part of something greater—call it nature, spirit, soul, source, or simply love.

Today, gift yourself 5 minutes to sit, breathe, look into your heart, and listen. Soften and open. Feel into all that surrounds you. Each time you inhale, open to receive all that you need to feel connected. With each exhale, offer your own energy back out to all that is. Allow, Rest. Reflect.

Our final retreat group is prepared to begin their week and close our season during the beautiful green time of Costa Rica. Sunny mornings followed by rain and tremendous thunderstorms in the evening. Keeping the air fresh , the jungle vibrant, and makes for a night of deep sleep. My job is to help other retreat leaders bring their retreats to life here in the last best place of Costa Rica. Join me on the Osa at Encanta la Vida where the jungle is ripe with wildlife, a turquoise ocean feels like bath water and the adventures are endless right here in our own backyard It’s a perfect setting for transformation - awaken your wild side. For info on how to bring you and your guests to this remote territory staying on the beach in a boutique hotel with five star cuisine, send me a personal message. I’m at your service.

Today was exceptionally affirming for me. I made a vow to listen to the Divine and follow the signs of that lead me through open doors that murmur Yes. It takes courage and faith and non-attachment to preconceived notions. Just follow the yellow brick road.
