“Never be afraid to try something new… an amateur built the ark that lasted forty days and forty nights; professionals built the titanic that sank

Hello Hello Everyone :)

Not long now. In exactly four weeks I will be starting Odds Building Ltd aprenticeship in Costa Rica..... hehe :)

I still have not bought the ruck sack... Or the mosquito net, or the present for the host family... but hey there is snow in England so I have an exscuse... :)

I have started this now to make sure I get in the habit of posting little snippets as if anyone knows be well they will know I will be fab on this to begin with and then I just forget... :)

I was told the other day if I was going to do a blogg I would need to stick to it!! and it was said with stern words - yeah you know who you are and look I have started... :)

A lot of people have asked me why? Why now? Well why not is my answer? Why not now? Each year I learn more and more that you can not predict what will happen, who you will meet, who will show you new ways of looking at life or who will hurt you but help you grow as result. I have decided that I want to follow what feels right and regret the things I have done (maybe not that extra slice of cake though, really should have left it.....) than the things I haven't.

Helping people that have so little I hope will humble me up and remind me that life is so much fun and you actually don't need much to see that. Well I hope so other wise I am soooo barking up the wrong tree.. or experience for that matter...

Any how... Must go a glass of nice red wine and a fabulous episode of Jane Ayre await me... Oh my word I am going to struggle - but hey I will finally slim down - joy of rice and beans for breakfast, lunch and dinner!! Whoop Whoop and jazz hands!

Big hugs to you all!

A Trip to remember!!!

I have been here for just under two weeks and it feels as if I have lived here for months. I have made so many new friends and met so many happy Costa Rican people. We all stick out like a sore thumb but the welcome is unreal, and it isn´t just because they want to jump into bed with you! J They are so ready to help you and dudes and dudetts I am telling you their love of food and sharing it is out of this world. We are all finding ways of working the weight off! My favorite is this walk I can do around San Ramon and it takes you up the steepest hill ever but OMG is it worth it!! The beauty surrounding this place is paradise! Talking about paradise this weekend we did a trip to a beach called Santa Teresa and let me tell you this, anyone who knows me knows my love of see sun and fun but this beach took my breath away! I have never seen anything like it before. Thank god it was this beautiful though as the trip there definitely tested the Pura Vida way of life. We got up far too late...

The Greatest Show

I discovered today that I have no problem making self discoveries about myself but I struggle keeping them. I couldn’t tell you how many times I have made a new years promise to cut out the ice cream and to only eat one rather than the whole package of yummy biscuits… Have I ever stuck to it for more then two hours… the answer would be no! I have the intentions of keeping to it but I find that I give in and then beat myself up about it. I then feel bad having not stuck to a promise I only made to myself and before I know it I am eating two tubs of ice cream to drown my sorrows….. It becomes a vicious circle.. and today I finally figured out a way out of it. Cut myself some slack. I started thinking about how there were things I would have liked to do differently. Things I wish I could have said, things I wish I could have done and so on and then I realized that when we are younger we get cut some slack. We are excused for making “mistakes” or as I would call them learning opportunities...

The Wind of Change

Yesterday I had an interesting conversation about changing. Not changing clothes or nappies or hair colour but about personal development. Changing who you are. It made me wonder a lot. Can an experience change you forever? Does something simply go SNAP and you have changed? Or do some of us have to grow and learn the lesson along the way? Or are these “changing circumstances” intertwined like a strangler tree uses its roots to take over the other tree? I personally don`t know. I grew up with two conflicting arguments. First one: It is important to change with the times but the second was don´t change for anyone! Surely if you change with the times you are changing for others? Then I ask the question when do we know when we need to change or when we should change? When is change good or bad? Do we lie to ourselves a lot and believe we have changed when simply all we have done is learnt a lesson? Do we kid ourselves that we don´t need to change because we know that with change comes a l...
