Funny. I sat myself down at a nearby coffee shop just now with the intention of doing some writing. I have a couple of different magazines that I owe materials to, and I just wanted to take some time to try to update Lily Pad as well, but I wasn’t sure what I’d really write about. I mean, I know what I want to write about, but I’m not quite ready to make that public yet.

So I sat down, opened my laptop, stirred up my iced coffee and wondered where to start. I decided to start here, with this one, since my next step is still so up in the air.

As soon as I logged in, I overheard the barista behind me say, “How about Costa Rica?”

Funny. I’ve been thinking of a trip there. The Spanish/Yoga classes, maybe some kind of ESL program (not that I speak fluent Spanish, but I intend to).

Anyway, so here I am. Sitting at a coffee shop in St. Paul, MN, wondering how I’m going to get myself on a beach and soon, whether it’s a sabbatical in Costa Rica or an island adventure in Hawaii.
