My biggest take away from the retreat to Costa Rica this year is "Life is too short! Don't waste one single second dwelling in doubt, worry, fear or guilt. Thinking of some imagined future or story of the past while this moment sits there begging you to notice it because you never know when it will be your last. Live in Pura Vida
Simply translated, Pura Vida means “simple life” or “pure life”, but in Costa Rica, it is more than just a saying—it is a way of life.
Costa Ricans (Ticos) use this term to say hello, to say goodbye, to say everything’s great, to say everything’s cool. However, it is not the words that reflect the true meaning of ¡Pura Vida!. Pura Vida is the way Ticos live. Not surprisingly, Costa Rica has been named one of the happiest countries in the world, mostly because its inhabitants don’t stress about things the way most foreigners do. Ticos have a very relaxed, simple way of looking at life. No worries, no fuss, no stress—Pura Vida to them means being thankful for what they have and not dwelling on the negative. <3 Message from your heart

How did I get so lucky?

2) Love everyone first without judgment or condition and...most important... if they prove unworthy of your love, love them more.
3) Forgive everyone so that you can be free.
4) Always be of service. Wake up everyday and ask yourself what can I give today?
5) When choosing how you will serve...let your passion and desire be your guide.
6) See everything as if you are seeing it for the first time from a sense of wonder, awe, excitement and joy.

“A sage once said, how shall I to open my heart, old friend? It is forbidden for me to speak. I am about to die for lack of a kindred soul to understand my misery. .
Simply by looking into her eyes I find the Beloved of my Heart. But rare is such a soul, who swims in Ecstatic Bliss on the high tide of Heavenly Love.” – Rampriya Das
Our relationship with the Divine can ultimately take infinite forms but some of the most common referred to by mystics is as a Teacher/Master, Father/Mother, Impersonal Source, Friend, Child, or Lover. The relationship can always change according to what we feel we need to be best connected and comforted. The real power comes from developing the relationship at all. In my experience, the closer and more intimate my relationship grew with the Infinite the more blissful and enjoyable my life became. Michel Micheletti
