That one time I put my house up on the market and moved to Costa Rica…

“In the middle of a pandemic???”

Yes.

Now that we’ve gotten that part out of the way… 🙂

A common theme in my life lately has been radical peace. [Don’t miss part 2]

I realized that for most of my life, safety had not been a priority. Growing up in unsafe environments, we adapt. For our survival. And we get used to the limits those adaptations put on us. Then, we find ourselves at 33 feeling like we’ve made all of these decisions out of fear (fear of others’ expectations, fear of failure, fear of other’s’ judgements, fear of losing all security, ugh the list goes on). That was very specific wasn’t it?? Lol.

But anyway, when tragedy hit recently, I realized I had a decision to make. Live the life I’m discovering I actually want? OR stick to what’s comfortable and continue to shrink to fit the box.

Once I became aware of the limit, I decided, rather than continue in that cycle, I would break free and create a new one?

So, I did something I’ve always wanted to do. And I didn’t wait for the conditions to be perfect. I aligned in prayer and things started to fall into place. And when fear crept in, I just kept looking forward. I disrupted the algorithm (more to come on that). Fear wants to keep us in the cycle. And I decided not to let it stop me.

And I’m here, and I’m happier than ever.

I won’t say too much now. But this is one step closer to the life I’ve always dreamed and finally believe is possible.

There’s certainly more to tell on the journey of how I got here. Maybe I’ll tell it here; maybe you don’t even care.

Like most seasons of life, Costa Rica is a blip on the timeline. In the end what really matters is did you have peace? I’m choosing it radically.
