View from my hot tub

I’ve made it a custom over the years to spend a week in Costa Rica every winter.  I was just reminded of this tonight as I snuck outside in the dark to take a late night dip in our hot tub.  It was 8 degrees and the steam was rising into the night sky and crystalizing under the full moon and Orion was fully present.  I love the constellation of Orion and only see it in the dead of winter.  During the summer it’s not visible.

When I am in Costa Rica, although we are just 600 miles from the equator, the night sky is not that different. I love lying out at the pool on the top of the mountain at Rancho Armadillo around 10 pm and looking at the night sky.  I am a real Astrology buff even though I only took one class in college. Our host at Rancho Armadillo, Rick, graciously brings out his telescope and give us all a tour of the night sky which is so clear high on the mountain, that you can actually see a star nebula in Orion’s belt with just binoculars!

I am sharing these thoughts with you because it’s so important to slow down and take the time to look at nature, take a vacation to a place where you can really slow down and recharge.  This is one reason my husband and I purchased a house on the lake.  We feel like we are on vacation year around…even in the winter, we are out on the lake every morning and every evening in our hot tub. 

Creating your millionaire lifestyle is all about planning, getting real clear about what it is that brings you true pleasure and true joy and then taking the steps necessary to make it happen.  In the next few weeks, I will be sharing the steps that I took to create my perfect life with tips and resources that you can implement yourself. 

It really just takes small changes to make huge differences in your life.  Creating your vision is number one.  I just created a new vision board this week with a picture of the healing retreat my daughter and I will be opening up in the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica on or before December 2015.  It’s our joint goal.  I have placed it where I can see it every day and keep my energy focused on this dream.  I know the perfect opportunities will just fall into place to make this dream a reality.  I will keep you updated as the miracles begin to happen!

What is your dream?  What are you doing to make it happen?  What is the one thing that scares you to death — yet would bring you the most joy?  How can I support you?
