If you’ve ever been to Costa Rica, you know that it’s splendidly lush, tropical, surprising, warm, welcoming, breathtaking, & every bit as green as they say it is.
(There are also monkeys.)
(You can’t resist the monkeys.)
Building my life here with my husband Andy has been nothing but a blessing--particularly when we wake up and sip on freshly ground coffee on the back porch overlooking a hazy valley of vegetation, tranquility, peace, calm that--at the same time--manages to convey an overwhelming sense of LIFE.
In every clean, fresh big breath of air we inhale.
In every cobalt blue butterfly we witness float by.
In every cool trickle of rain that wets our leaves.
In every wildly free horse that shakes its mane.
And every single piece of my heart singing, dancing, and humming along to the rhythm of mother nature.
It’s why we set up shop.
It’s why we’re raising our son here.
It’s why we built the lodge.
And it’s why we invite people from around the world to come experience what it’s like to be absolutely, positively STILL.
This isn’t just a piece of land.
It’s a nothing-like-you’ve-ever-experienced-before sanctuary.
Modern day heaven, if you will--minus the cliché.
And whether you’re coming to Costa Rica for the first time, or coming back to visit for your 50th, you will always leave with a new sense of self tucked into your heart.
And you will never, ever be the same.
