Life has been going on within me and without me (or without a record!).

It is truly beautiful here. I have been having beautiful adventures and more recently dancing more and singing more. I am discovering the true potential of several things in my life at the moment.

Firstly the job. Wow. I have a skill! That people need and want! Who knew? I will most likely be working with about 5 new clients - friends and interesting sites. All of a sudden I am inspired to learn more. And also see how I could travel more with this work. Beautiful.

I am living at a dance studio. I have a flamenco platform to practice on behind my cabin! I love flamenco! I love dancing! (I may even come back here and help to look after the place... who knows)

I have a voice! I love to sing!

I can speak spanish! and want to learn more!

Okay. I know, it's a lot of exclamation marks and there you are freezing your ass off in Canada (or where-ever you are) It's not all rosy. Life never is. But today I feel the potential of beauty and am grateful for the gifts I am giving myself.

Although I really don't know what life has in store for me next (my mantra these days has been 'I don't know'), I am here now: the air here is warm and sultry. The beach a hop skip and jump across the road. The fruit is so flavourful. Paradise. And I am grateful.

I'm also very excited to share it all with Mateo, who arrives on Thursday and will be here with me till the end of my stay.
