_{i am blessed to have had the opportunity to have visited your beautiful country! the area i stayed in is on the nicoyla peninsula, which i learned is one of only four known blue zones in the world. a blue zone, is an area in the world that has the highest concentration of people who live to be centurians (live over 100years!!) it says alot for the way of life as well as the abundance the land and mother nature
has to offer us (naturally she nourishes the body and soul)when she hasn’t been spoiled, and when the people take the time to understand and appreciate her}

proud mother of three (almost grown, gorgeous, heartful children) i am working hard on completing a degree and currently an assistant darkroom instructor at edmonds community college and launching a photography division with the Pacific NW’s largest entertainment company. one of my deepest passions is at age five i claimed i wanted to be able to write like shakespeare and grew to love the theatre, someday i would like to produce a theatrical production from scratch (the screenplay, set design, lighting, costumes, choreography, music) to me that is the ultimate in creative expression as it encompasses all mediums and is as large as life!

~ i know that everything has a season, and it is all in perfect time.

blessings & inspirations!
