Rica Costa Rica

 Hola amigos 🤗

It's February! Time passes and we know it but how do we live it?

My time here, mostly all January has been busy creating magic in the kitchen, connecting with people, laughing, trying to squeeze just a little bit yoga and kundalini in between, not forgetting swimming. 

I have been privileged to be nourishing many souls that come here at the Finca de Vida looking for healing and more. It's been intense but I managed to keep the presence and remind myself to enjoy the process.

My work as a vegan chef is really not a typical 9-5 job. I have never been drawn to the standard way of living so when I work, I work intensely and when I play I make sure I have couple months wondering around, camping in the nature and just being a little hippy girl. My January definitely was an intense one related to work. I got assured again and again that I am walking my path, that I love sharing vegan food with others and that there are still so many corners and layers I can shave off myself.

In the kitchen I get to practise my creativity, my trust, the flow, the letting go, the clear focus, attention and presence. It is the space where I can talk about my values when it comes to my beloved animals and it is a space for inspiring. And from time to time I meet other inspiring chefs and co-create and learn from them too ☀️ Like my new friend Chris ✨

I have also been more and more interested in Kundalini yoga. I have always been drawn to it but this month I put some more interest in learning of moving that incredible life force within me.

I have also been dwelling on self-acceptance. Accepting all parts of myself, however cliche it may sound. And when I manage to accept my dark side, I then feel like a true light, what a paradox! 

What about you, my dears? What January brought to you?

Lots of love from the tropics 🥰💚
