Your Self Love Manifesto
We’ve made it through Christmas and New Years, and we’ve had about 4 weeks to breathe a sigh of relief and now it’s that time of year, the ultimate reminder that we have either chosen a life alone, were recently widowed, or have gone through a divorce, separation or break up… Yep, it’s Valentines […]

Gypsy Spirit Outpost-Arenal, Costa Rica
I am writing from the open air covered porch in beautiful Arenal, Costa Rica! Toucans and parrots sit in the bird feeder sharing bananas and papayas with the turkeys. The Arenal Volcano is hiding behind the cloud cover, remnants of this mornings hard rain. A dream come true for sure. The journey started with an […]
