Always choosing to focus on the abundance in life that is beauty, love and laughter! The universe is but a reflection of the thoughts and attitudes we harvest...Our experiences tainted by our perceptions...The journey we follow is the life we lead, so make it count.

There are adventures out there in the world I've yet to experience and places I haven't been. As my bucket list grows I feel as though I spend time just getting though the work week and the weekend finally comes and I'm resting from the stress of the week. This is no way to live. I want to be excited when I get up in the morning and push myself to be more and see more. I know what excites me. I need to put that energy into making my passion my career. Easily said but a risk and not as easy to do. But we all know if it's easy it's got no value. So take the risk and wake up excited for the next adventure. I keep telling myself this is the right thing to do. Will this week be the week I finally jump in both feet first? Go for it! I'll keep you postedAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02617289847639873395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161256230627828958.post-332216290807230312013-08-30T08:47:00.001-07:002013-10-14T15:56:05.153-07:00TravelI always say leave the world behind and travel whenever possible... Today I'm full of gratitude because we are once again in the airport ... Destination Cabo San Lucas! The familiar sound of the over speakers with the anticipation of waiting in long lines ... Line number 3 and of course the inevitable flight delay... None of which phase me as I pull my roller behind me, ready to hunker down in a seat and hurry up and wait... It's all good. At the end of the day we'll be on the beach watching the sunset over the amazing view of the Sea of Cortez..salt water in the air, a warm ocean breeze, palm trees swaying in the wind... Mexico here we come... Adventures to be had!<br />

At any time, we can decide to change the road we're on in life... change directions... follow a new path...seek a new adventure!<br />

Only we truly know what we want from life and if we're on the path that will lead us to where we want to be... the journey that will ultimately lead to where we are meant to me.<br />

Only we can fulfill our dreams and bask the joy and happiness that comes from reaching those goals we aspire to.<br />

Paris was magically at night from the standpoint of beauty. We are a little long in the tooth to be clubbing but and glass of wine at dinner is fine.</div>

They were enforced on the playground, and apply to life. In every aspect, every situation, our work, our friends, our family, our life... We can apply the basic sandbox rules for success. 1. Play nice. 2. No name calling. 3. Don't throw sand. 4. Share your toys. <br />
<div>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><br /></div>
<div>
This sums up the core guiding values they should determine our behavior. Play by the sandbox rules and you will always be kind... Never gossip or call people names... Or say things that are cruel and unnecessary... No hitting, biting, fighting or throwing things or throwing temper tantrums ... And you will share your success, your blessings, your wisdom, your self, your lunch, your toys.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Apply to your life, your work, your relationships ... These are the basic principals... If everyone followed the sandbox rules ... that kindergartens's can abide by, the world would be a better, more peaceful, and lovely place. It's just that simple.</div><br><br>

Do what you are good at and what love to do.... Follow your passion...If you sit behind a desk 9 to 5 every day working for someone else, building someone else's business or you dislike your job or your work environment... take steps to change it! Your control of your destiny. What you do everyday it ultimately your life so choose to follow your true north... follow your passion...build for yourself... create for your life... <br />
<br />Write a list of what you're good at... what you really love in your heart ... list those things you find passion in... Then go after it... Follow your passion! This may mean you need to look at changing jobs, locations, or working for yourself... it may mean you follow your creative instincts or go back to school... whatever it is.. do it! <br />
<br />Be true to yourself and use your talents and desires... you will find taking the risk to follow your passions will make your life so much happier... it won't it easy but will be worth it in the end... When you can wake up each morning and can say you love your work and those you work with... your life will have less stress... <br />
<br />When you live your life with authenticity and are genuine each day in your actions and thoughts... you will touch the people and the world around you and the legacy you leave behind will be cherished... <br/><br/>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02617289847639873395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161256230627828958.post-70865708456721600042013-06-16T17:05:00.003-07:002013-06-16T17:07:24.115-07:00Berlin GermanyCheck Point Charlie a must see when in Berlin...so much history of such a scary time...but good photo op<br />

What a beautiful day at the Four Seasons spa in Maui..a morning seaweed wrap and message and an afternoon chilling on the beach...white sand, blue water...waking up to this view...with the umbrellas lined along the beach so perfectly...the smell of salt water in the air and the warm breeze against your skin...the quiet sound of the surf hitting the shore in rhythm with my breath...no wonder I never want to go home...</div>

Very cool and laid back setting. All of the locals were very helpful when the airport shuttle dropped us off at wrong address. Luckily for us everyone in the neighborhood new the local property manager who just happened to be our contact.<br />
<br />
We had our phones setup to work when we landed via AT&T and they weren't we were totally offline with no phone or web access. Kind of of cool for a minute. Being untethered is a strange feeling but I think I will get used to it.<br />

Wish I could say my eyes are closed but instead my mind is racing. Thinking about where I want my life to be a year from.. Two years...is the path I'm on the one that will bring the most joy and be true to my desires? Am I closer to reaching my goals? Have my goals changed or have I just glossed over to make the now a more tolerant experience? Where is this journey leading? Can I follow my true north and still manage the everyday practicalities? These are the questions I lay awake thinking about... How to be sincere and authentic in my life... To have each day be a joy... To pursue my passions... I ask these questions and all the while contemplating and searching for real estate in Chile, Brazil and Panama.... My heart and mind thousands of miles from here... Thousands of mile from my 5:20am alarm... Casitas on the beach... Hammocks on the patios... Day dreaming of lazy days looking at to the sea...paint brush in hand ... Or early morning sunrises... Camera in hand... My journey leads to where I'm meant to be... My minds has other ideas... For now I'll focus on the daily grind and 5:20am wake up call...knowing I'm blessed for so much... I have faith this journey will lead me on the path I'm meant to be on... Patience... Patience... Patience...

Take control of your life. Your life is not behind you.... your memories are behind you. Your life is always right here, right now. Think only of the best and expect only the best, you are worth it. Look always at the positive side of everything, train yourself to do that, it is up to you. Remember the amount of energy is the same.

Waiting to go, getting back, making plans to leave. Is it the gypsy in me or am I running away? or do I just desire the adventure and intrigue of seeing the world? Whatever the reason; the outcome is the same. I'm always leaving.<br />
<br />
I attended twelve schools in as many years despite attending the same school from kindergarten through fourth grade. Do the math. Nine schools in the remaining eight years and on more than one occasion, two schools in the same school year. Sometimes I looking for a place to fit in; other times I was following the instability of my parents. Again the result was the same. I was always leaving.<br />
<br />
I've managed to maintain friendships that have lasted a lifetime and a marriage that has lasted almost as long, so although I move, travel, run to the nearest "next" I have kept with me the people I love and a piece of where I have been has always stays with me. <br />
<br />
When my husband and I were young and newly married almost twenty years ago now, we decided that we should always be on vacation. So we planned a trip and left every three months be it for a long weekend or a week; be it near or far... We were always leaving. <br />
<br />
We figured out early on that in a three months period we could be planning our next trip, getting ready to leave, or be just returning. In a never ending cycle of going on vacation. We did this by choice to ensure when we worked hard; we always played harder.<br />
<br />
We have traveled throughout Mexico, and most of the Hawaiian island, and much of the Caribbean. <br />
<br />
We've seen most major cities in the US and even seen parts of Canada and South America. <br />
<br />
We have traveled in Europe and traveling through as many countries and cities as we can see. We will share our adventures with you but also share this. <br />
<br />
Life is short and although it seems vast, our planet is just a speck of sand on someone else's beach. Grad the hand of the one you love and don't let go. Work hard but only so you can play hard, otherwise you work hard for no reason at all and time passes and one day you look wake up and see nothing but the cars on front of you sitting in traffic. What you spend your days doing is what you spend your life doing. Choose to live, travel, love and laugh... <br />
<br />
We want to hear your stories so...<br />
<br />
If you are From:<br />
<br />
Have travel to:<br />
<br />
Or lived in:<br />

any of these places or any others....share<br />

<strong>More Venice</strong><br />
<br />
We decided to contribute to the over all splendor of the moment being a birthday we decided to create our own paradise within theirs.<br />
<br />
Four slices of incredible pizza and a lovely bottle of champagne eaten and drank while sitting on the canal bank next to the Rialto Bridge brought laughter and smiles to passerby's allowing us to participate in our micro patsies in Venice, Italy.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02617289847639873395noreply@blogger.com0
