Well- today was a nice day in Puerto. I went to the bank in the morning and I officially have a work bank account now- I guess I am now in business.
I ran into Janis a the bank, and she asked me about the retreat project (I had asked her if she cooks for retreats too) and I said, that it was my friend who was organizing but, that I was just in Mexico City all last week giving massages with her- and in anticipation that the owner would want to do retreat with us here in Puerto… and well… my friend wrote me tonight with the date they are thinking about… they are dates that I am back here already from the wedding of my friend and from my training in Colombia… so it could all work out.

Now- the only thing, in the way is- if I choose to go back to Canada to work for the month (a well paying job that I have worked contracts with since 2009 off and on). If I got the job in Canada- I would have a bunch more money and could buy some land… some land that is more expensive than the 10,000 USD lots that I could actually afford now…
but I don`t know if I even need to buy land…
It`s this funny thing. Buy something to have, as an investment more so, as I am really not attached to Puerto yet… I am building something here… I am a business now… but I am also a free person. I like to follow my intuition and dreams and so far it has lead me well.

I don`t think I need to make any crucial decisions about the future until at least the end of March – beginning of April, when I finish my Vipasana retreat and had time to reflect.

So tonight I was reading some of the things I need to bring for my Colombian stay and info about the place… (because I knew very little about it, just that it was in Colombia, Spanish speaking and they sent a few photos through WhatsApp showing some green spaces) but now I realize… I am actually going to be camping, in nature- in an ashram style living from April 23- May 13th at least so like 25 days of Vegetarian Ayurvedic Food, no internet, camping, lights out at 10… school from 7 until 6, two hour down time in the afternoon hike or use the natural pool.  haha I am so stoked.

The Vipasana meditation retreat is the same… vegan, no talking, no electronics… no writing… nothing aside from meditation, meals and you are allowed to do some yoga.

Both places I will only be consuming what they give me and there are no possibilities of sex, drugs, drinks or rock n roll!

This is a perfect opportunity for me to completely walk my walk this March, April and May…and be in a super great place in June, for when I start my internship and begin helping other people.

Oh and I am so stoked for opportunity to around ONLY SPANISH for 25 days! This will be my first time even in this situation… I am a bit scared haha. But I am ready for this. I don`t need to understand everything, but I need to work on my Subjunctive over the next month so I can speak better.
I am really excited for the workshops too- I feel like I just had a workshop with Iris in Mexico City, as we were reviewing the two person massage, we were giving each other massage too- and I was receiving things and remember how things should feel, the marma points and all- and Iris showed me a few more things to do on the feet, which I did to my mom today- and I am happy about the new knowledge and more experience.

So- the retreat this is going to happen, I said- that I would go back to Estevan if there was no retreat or something happening – and there will be one… so I should stay right? Life isnt just about going where there is good jobs, or its  comfortable.. it`s about staying in the flow and doing what you love.

The thing is- I believe both things would be fine. I would enjoy both experiences. Because I always enjoy the experience but … well… I will find my truth soon.

Speaking of finding truth, so tonight I almost never went to the beach for sunset, because I offered my mom a massage and she was coming down for it, but when she got to the house, she said ¨there is still sunset, if you want to go¨ and I did want to… so I grabbed my towel and mat and we walked down the beach. At first I thought it had already set as the sky was a purple color. I did my grateful prayers to all the directions and then began to do my sun salutations and I saw so many like smooth, whitish, yellow, roundish- sparkling lights all around me and in front of me. I thought it was beautiful. I never felt like I was blacking out- I just was watching these lights around me as I continued to do my asanas and I was smiling, because it was beautiful, especially in the purple light. The energy of the beach was very bright tonight- then the sun came out- a beautiful, round, clear hot pink circle… and the lights went away and I continued to practice and it felt great. My mom had sat infront of me several meters so I couldn`t ask her if she saw them too… but as I was giving her a massage I remembered them.
So either, I am having eye problems- or I witnessing some magic this evening!

Last time I saw light- it was for sure an Angel because my Grandma knew exactly what I was talking about even before I finished talking… and I had felt that calmness too.

So now- why these sparkles¿  Today was a pretty great day… I feel things are in alignment… I just need to keep enjoying life, living life, and life will continue to be amazing.

Oh another weird thing that happened today was- I was studying at El Sultan Restaurant and I was thinking, randomly about this one cute guy I had briefly met last year… I mean we just shared a few words, maybe last August… but for some reason I had thought that there was something special about him and then I never saw again, as I went back to Canada and then well I don`t go out that much… but he actually came and sat at the table just to the side of me today!

I was studying, but also super interested in his stories that he was telling a few people he just met- he is very passionate and friendly… I wish I knew what I wanted in life, and or why I don`t say hi, or try to flirt or something with people I think are special… but I guess, with that too- I need to just do what feels natural and makes me happy and stay open and, the universe will continue to bring to me what is best for me… and also for that person and people around me.

Well- I need to go to sleep, so I can be in good form to experience more magic tomorrow as well study my little bum off and have my last meeting with my teacher!

Hari om. Hari om. Hari om.
