I'm sad you've ended your blog, but I'm happy you've gotten a great new opportunity in your career! Congratulations!! I hope you'll post again once in awhile! I do follow you on Instagram, but I'll also add you on Facebook! I know this may seem strange, considering we've never met, but I think of you as my tropical island friend! I do hope that one day we'll get to meet in person, and I'm certainly hoping it'll be because I'm visiting your little part of the world!! Much luck to you in your new endeavors!!

Sometimes life calls for a ´cloister´situation, and a more inward going journey. I heard that the age between 38-42 is like a "midlife crisis" where things can seem difficult and challenging and new things in life are stirring. So you might feel that as well. Anyway, just a little extra... :-)Anna Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13210247468939714181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751988863733923742.post-34873307209064916742013-05-08T05:40:02.759-04:002013-05-08T05:40:02.759-04:00First response: Oh noooo (like Carens), I´ll miss ...First response: Oh noooo (like Carens), I´ll miss reading your blog SO much!

Life is for living, and sometimes (I found) the computer can take up too much of that precious space...<br />However - it might be that you wish to keep your ´faithful blogfollowers` updated once or twice a year..??<br />Whatever causes you to take this decision, I wish you all the best, and I know you´ll have a great and magical journey whateever you decide to do, because you are made special from our Creator. Thank you Mariasol for sharing your ups and downs, your bright uplifting stories, your philosophies and recomendations of films, books etc. etc. Now I know where Cayman Islands are, and if I come by some day, I´ll definitely find you.

Well, it has already been a full week here; Yesterday I was in a Circus with my younges dsughter, and although I don´t like seing animals "perform" in a circus (except for the dogs, who looked like they had a blast), it was some Great hours with her, and she loved every minute. Today we all went to see a theatre play "Odysseu´s Journey", coming from greek mythology. It was my daughter´s class in school, who performed it for the parents, and it was truly excellent and very high quality - and they are only 11 year old ones! Tomorrow we are going to the school again, in the morning, to celebrate and dance around the "May Pole", which is a hight pole (like a flag pole) decorated with branches with fresh, green leaves. Lots of ribbons hang from the pole, and the children in 6th grade (12-13 years old) will do a special folk dance whilst tying the ribbons to the pole. It´s so wonderful to watch them dance with live music and singing - so I look forward to that. It´s originally a swedish tradition, but also used in the Steiner schools here. Sunday will definitely be a day of mainly CHILLIN!! - Happy weekendAnna Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13210247468939714181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751988863733923742.post-38661474185161749882013-05-03T14:32:21.513-04:002013-05-03T14:32:21.513-04:00I went from a Samsung to the iPhone 4 and couldn&#...I went from a Samsung to the iPhone 4 and couldn't be happier!
