Life is a swing❣️
Middle of the day. Middle of the week. Middle of the month✨
I've been soaking in every moment of this green season lately. October, the rainiest month of the year in Costa Rica, has felt especially magical. Picture this: bright, sunny mornings, followed by afternoon showers, watching the storms pass, with powerful thunder and flashes of lightning lighting up the distance. Qué chiva! It’s a feeling that settles deep into the soul🧘♀️
October always makes me think about one of my favorite hobbies: gardening. The humidity we’re blessed with right now creates the perfect environment to nurture seeds and watch them grow —especially here in Guanacaste; and that’s exactly how October feels for me: like a seed, planted, beginning to sprout, with so much potential ahead🌱
For the past two years, I've carried a dream —the second reason I came back to Costa Rica early this year. Only a few close friends know what I’m talking about, but soon, all of you will know and have the chance to be part of it; and honestly, I can’t wait for that to happen too🙌
But as I sit and write a few sentences at a time (over the past two weeks), tears of joy often come before words, for many reasons, but mostly because the seed of this vision has germinated, it’s sprouted, and now, I know it will only continue to grow and God only knows where it’ll go from here💫
For two years, I’ve patiently waited for this important project to become a reality, and just like gardening, waiting felt like forever sometimes, but I always knew it will eventually happen, I knew it was gonna happen at the right time🤍
Even though I’m still celebrating this privately for now, I feel incredibly blessed to have close friends who always lift me up and support every idea I have; and of course, I’m deeply grateful for the Tico Be Like community —not just for being able to share this Tico Be Like journey with you, but because I know that soon, you’ll be celebrating alongside me and more importantly, becoming a part of this too🙏
Please don't mind me taking my time —it's 'Tico time' for this one, for sure☺️ so maybe 'mañana'😜
Pura Vida🙃
