I had to tell you about this..

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a month now..

Few posts back I mentioned a new beginning

All happened so fast, until now I am really getting to enjoy it.

What happened is I moved to the little town I dreamed about, and I’ve worked for over a year to get to.

Not only that but I came here with the smallest expectations, I was hoping to get a little place one bedroom,room for at least my workshop.. and then thank you to an incredible god sent new friend , who didn’t only helped me to find the house but also to realize I deserved it..

I live here now:

And it’s by far the prettiest place I’ve ever  lived on, back in CR I had a nice little house but it was  empty , I was going through this minimalist stage in my life where I thought I didn’t need anything but my workshop,a fridge a stove and my bed..and I’ve been taught to be grateful for what I have so I’ve never asked for much.

I guess I’ve always had this little fear, everything I do , everywhere I go has to be with the money in my purse.. because of that fear of not selling jewelry anymore of something happening and having no sales to back me up ((( I know I shouldn’t think of this)))..

Since jewelry is my only income I live with that fear, but this last month living in this place, making it my own has actually given me the strength to have more confidence and not think about it..

How could I? , I am doing what I love in a place I love and have friends who lift me up and make me smile, I couldn’t ask for anything more and the realization of this I guess is what is confusing, when you’ve been working for years and running for years I guess you get used to that and when it’s time to enjoy what you worked for you kind of have that feeling of there is more to do.

I’m happy also because nowwww my friends and family are coming over to Guatemala! there is a place to stay! also a place I can tell people come over, drink coffee and search for stones! ahh!

Now there is nothing more to do for me, but enjoy and grow.. make better pieces and work with love.

And well I can’t show you the 239 photos I took of the house but my 2 favorite spots the living room:

And the roof:

I go up there every morning and every afternoon, there is this breeze that always runs through there and I look up and is just too much haaa!

That’s all, hope to be blogging more often have too much to tell you and show you.

I feel blessed

Reason 678 why I moved to Antigua Guatemala

I come out of my house in the hunt for a coffee and a bit of an afternoon walk, I walk 3 blocks and right in the park I find this …

I’m so happy here *sniff*

Whole day of shopping for stones!

I took photos of everything.. which you can see clicking here

Stones make me happy, so so happy I could look for stones and pearls everyday

I have a good batch I am dying to work on, I have a big custom order and have to make some pieces from the sale I had and I will be able to play with them once I’m done!

Happy Hyper Sunday and 4th of July to all of those who celebrate it!

A new goal…

I could win an award as the most confusing person in the planet ..

I can never be in one place for too long, be with a person for too long , do something for too long.. guess only jewelry is the one think that I do and keep going and don’t see it coming to an end.

I went on a 4 days trip to antigua  Guatemala and as soon as I got in the plane to get back home I felt a sudden urge to stay there..

It was a random trip , my friend invited me to go and I felt right at home.. even worse BETTER 100% than home.

I’ve lived in the beach , the mountain , the city and I love my house right now and I am settled and confortable, but there is always a feeling of ” I could do more” that haunts me.. more meaning not purchase a house, not getting a car , but living more meeting more people, learning new things..

I don’t want to be captured in an endless rutine..

I had that idea of moving to guatemala with all my workshop and work from there. Since I sell most my jewelry online it shouldnt be a problem..actually the postal service is faster and people could get the jewelry the next day.

Tends to be that way , I have URGES of doing certain things if you have read my blog for a while you can see how I’ve had my ideas like quitting my day job to live out of jewelry and I am not completely happy until I do them, not sure if its good or bad but I need goals and sometimes these goals involve moving everything to another country.

A year would be beautiful..

I think I am going once more and plan everything perfectly, save as much as I can to pay for my rent ahead ..have money for a whole year of rent.. and then go.

Hopefully one year from now I will be writting here telling you how it all worked out and I found my spot in the world.

This seach for simplicity in living will go on and on.

For now gonna keep on going, working but with a smile on my face because I am now working towards something completly new…
