Costa Rica Baby!!

Hola Everyone!

24hours from start to finish until my head hit the pillow last night / morning / afternoon depending on where in the world you were! :)

What can I say this week has been surreal! In one week I have been told off for taking a road sign of working men, walked around a castle with Starbucks, Seen the biggest Shark attached to a ceiling possible, had a water fight with two grown ups, had a hot shower and a COLD shower but most weirdly had breakfast at 8am on Friday with the whole family sat at the dinner table!! Now let me tell you - now that has happened I believe in ANYTHING being possible!! haha

So my journey really started when we played Don´t stop me now with McFly driving past the plastic cows by Twickenham, followed by post sorting (not kidding) and the most fabulous mean at the Wharf and finished nicely with several cyders at the Teddington Arms! AndI have to say a massive thank you to Matt for driving. Tan for staying awake and Cy for the most amazing shower!

With riped jeans I headed off on the plane. realised I had left my books and Monoply cards at home I took out my Learn Spanish book on the plane - turned out to be the best thing as the Stwewart came to me and said there were to other chaps doing exactly the same further down the plane and had invited me to come and say hello! Of course I did so. Turns out both called Pete!! One has left a Marketing job and lives in Bournemouth and is a Surf teacher!! The other one a Swedish guy who engineers planes. So a fab meet! All of a sudden I wasn´t on my own anymore :) stayed with them all the way until meeting the i2i people and am meeting up with them in a couple of weeks for free surf lessons ;) Not a bad start at all!

Gets better as I then went to the hostil and shared a room with the most fabulous 3 girls from London that all work in events or marketing! We had a midnight beer over looking San Jose!

Well I better stop here as the sunshine and the local Theatre is calling! I will update you all on the family this week. I have already met the main project supervisor and he is slightly mad and fabulous :) so interesting times ahead!!

I am sending sunshine hugs and FAT smiles to everyone!

Hasta la Vista

I am basically becoming one of those cyber nerds... Right I got my first CR leaving present... Thank you RMG J I think I am trying to eat the book - at least if I do starve I will always have the book!! However the people at work aren’t impressed with my blog so far.

Celebrated not Tolerated!

Lately I have been tested beyond what I ever thought I would be in an incredibly short amount of time! The universe has tested me in regards to biting my tongue yet at the same time learning to speak up to hold on to my values, let go and know I most likely will get hurt from it, have possessions stolen, being stuck in an environment that was un empathetic and selfish, take control when all I wanted was to breakdown, loss of a loved one and mainly being surrounded by a world filled with volatile reactions. I have panicked like I haven’t done in ages, I have cried like I haven’t for a while, I have laughed louder and more heart fully than before when something has actually tickled me, yet through this I have decided to take the biggest risk of my life. I have taken a pay cut to put my happiness first. I have said no to temporary pleasures to aim for long-term happiness yet I have been so distressed I have acted out of character and done things that jeopardised my reputation and what I...

My Take on Christmas

Christmas is one of those seasons where it conjures up so many different feelings within people. Some people absolutely love it and can’t remember it being anything but amazing. Others really hate pretty much everything about it. Feel it has become about presents and lost its meaning as a celebratory day about Jesus being born. For many it reminds them of loved ones they have lost and for even more it can highlight family  feuds  because that chair around the table is empty. For me it is a little bit of all of these factors if I am honest. I come from a very unconventional family setting and Christmas for years has been the hardest time of year. I have great, amazing memories blended with an awful lot of heavy, sad moments. I don’t exactly get that personal present from parents or a partner that I have been hinting I want. I don’t get to sit with my mum and share it with her, my dad or family I grew up with for that matter. When we gather around the table I always have ...
