don Cesar is out in the yard raking, pruneing and fertilizing. As I sit at my computer I can see him working accompanied by a neice and nephew. He is called Tio (uncle) by many of the neighborhood children. He is a man of great patience.
As I see the effects of his presense on our beautiful 3/4 acre yard, I feel so blessed that he was part of my dream. I did not intentually create HIM so to speak, but after 5 years of managing an acre of jungle with only the help of Ordin and my friend Flo, I knew that the nightmare of maintence we had created had to have a positive effect; it was in knowing that I NEVER wanted to do that again.

What dreamers often do...
A television inteview that I had the privilage to be part of during a book tour in Phoenix was called Following Your Dream. Since authors will grab any chance at publicity I had said "Yes" before catching the theme of the program; my ego had assumed it was about my book. During the pre show preping I was surprised when I finally allowed the subject of the program to register but then realized, yes, I was living a dream and that was the essence of the book. However, it took someone else to point it out.
That got me wondering, just how long ago I had decided that this was the direction I wanted my life to go and whether all the aspects of it (those not my favorite) are also part of my creation. Do the unplanned events reflect a portion of my design, as well?
I've been intriqued with the idea of Blogging for a while but intimidated as to how to start or on what subject matter, and then it came...Living the Dream.
My dream has been to live a simple life. I love the ocean but need to be near mountains and I want warm weather. I don't know how to NOT work but I want to name my hours. I want to work for the joy of it and not to just survive. Two years ago my husband and I moved to the Caribbean side of Honduras and I started writing. It is a dream come true
I invite you to share your dream as I continue to process mine through the entries in this blog. You'll learn a bit about the many facets of living out a dream in Honduras but I hope this blog becomes a place where people give themselves permission to dream.
