PURA VIDA!!! After a looooong journey and awesome bug bites, I’ve returned to the states.  My revived heart and spirit is FULL of life, energy, joy, and thanks.  Spending the past week with innately beautiful people on a such a special and unique self-sustainable organic rustic farm called Rancho Margot in the remote  deeeeep jungle in COSTA RICA was an absolutely life-changing, enchanting adventure.  It was indescribable…here are just some glowing soulful moments: horseback riding through the rivers, hiking through the rainforest, the best reception dance party of all time, the dj after the band playing until 2am, dancing crazy in the jungle, sweaty bliss, farm fiesta, 7am yoga, practicing my Spanish, community meals, fresh papaya, composting, music, harmonious sounds of nature, soaking under natural volcanic springs, homemade costa rican delicious yumminess, chillin with iguanas, breaking my friend’s sandals doing the running man on the wood, riding an open wagon down a bumpy mountain in the rain, Filipino traditions, marriage on a mountain in peaceful serenity, Alyson walking down the aisle to “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” and then rain and a rainbow magically appearing around us, sleeping in a mosquito net, complete digital detox, open presentness, meditation, boogying to a reggae band on the dock, fresh strawberries in the country, constant clapping, ice cream in the village, fried avocados, tiny moments that create paradise, walking through the jungle at 2am with a flashlight, Al and Craig’s summer camp, connecting with the farm staff, being one with nature, rustic beauty, non-materialism, touring and learning about the farm, inspiration, humble kindness, feeling immersed in my element, a life celebration that embodied the principles of local support and eco-friendliness…with sincere gratitude for one of the best excursions of my life, congratulations gorgeous Alyson and handsome Craig!!!  Infinite bliss!!
