Dreaming is like painting the canvas of our future with the vibrant hues of our imagination. It's a magical realm where possibilities are limitless, and a positive attitude serves as the brush that adds the perfect strokes to our aspirations. When we approach our dreams with optimism, we create a powerful force that propels us forward, overcoming obstacles with resilience and turning challenges into stepping stones. 

Positivity fuels perseverance, transforming setbacks into valuable lessons and setbacks into opportunities. Embracing a positive mindset in the realm of dreams not only brightens the path but also attracts the energy needed to manifest those dreams into reality. 

So, dream big, paint with the colors of optimism, and watch as your life becomes a masterpiece of joy & fulfillment. This is the essence of Pura Vida.. .

Sammy, fresh out of the great frozen north of Canada, landed in Costa Rica just three days ago, and let me tell you, he already looked like he was questioning every life choice that had kept him shoveling snow for so many years. I met him lounging by the pool at his rented condo in Escazú, his pasty winter skin doing its best to transition into something resembling a tropical glow. His wife, Sarah, sat beside him, sipping an adult beverage with the kind of satisfied grin that only comes from realizing you won't be scraping ice off a windshield anytime soon. They were in total shock—giddy, slightly confused, and marveling at the sheer audacity of being warm in January. “Four days ago, I was wearing three layers and cursing my snow blower,” Sammy said, shaking his head in disbelief. “Now, my biggest problem is whether to have another piña colada or switch to a margarita.” His wife raised her glass in silent agreement. Their smiles were so big you'd think they just won the lottery. . which, in a way, they did. Because let's be real, escaping the tundra for a life of palm trees, pools, toucans and paradise? That's the jackpot, my friend. Welcome to Pura Vida, Sammy and Sarah. . you may never look at a snowflake the same way again! There are a few more empty chaise lounges here by the pool if any of you listening has a hankering for some beautiful weather and some Pura Vida MAGIC!

Every year at this time, there's a special magic that is in the air here in Costa Rica. Semana Santa is a deeply cherished time of reflection, tradition and relaxation. As a predominantly Catholic country, Costa Ricans honor Holy Week with solemn processions, reenactments of biblical events and special church services that bring communities together in faith and devotion. Many towns, especially in places like Cartago and San José, host elaborate parades featuring robed participants, statues of Christ and the Virgin Mary, accompanied by the sound of slow, rhythmic drumming. It's a time when families gather to observe religious customs, abstain from red meat in favor of delicious traditional dishes like tamales, gallina de chiverre, and seafood-based meals. The atmosphere is filled with reverence, yet there is also a sense of unity and cultural pride as Costa Ricans embrace their spiritual heritage.

At the same time, Holy Week is also an opportunity for relaxation and adventure, as many Costa Ricans take advantage of the extended holiday to escape to the country's stunning beaches, lush mountains, and serene countryside. With businesses and government offices closing for part of the week, locals and visitors alike flock to destinations like Manuel Antonio, Tamarindo, and Puerto Viejo to soak in the sun and unwind. Families and friends gather for barbecues, river outings, and afternoons spent under the shade of palm trees, fully embracing the Pura Vida lifestyle. Whether through spiritual reflection or a well-deserved retreat into nature, Holy Week in Costa Rica is a beautiful balance of tradition and leisure. . a time to appreciate everything we have. 
​In 2003, Nanci Wright-Stevens and her husband, Barry, moved to Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Costa Rica, expecting a peaceful retirement. Instead, after meeting a hungry man and a young boy eager for school, they founded El Puente, a grassroots charity that provided food, school supplies and community support to the local Bribri Indigenous people for 17 years. 

Nanci shares their incredible journey in her memoir, "The Bribri and The Bridge: Tales from Life with the Indigenous of Costa Rica," available in paperback here: https://tinyurl.com/35svz558 
and as an e-book on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Bribri-Bridge-Tales-Indigenous-People-ebook/dp/B0DY2Y6F66

In this inspiring book, Nanci blends wit, wisdom and stunning artwork to tell the stories of the people El Puente has uplifted. El Puente has served tens of thousands of meals and has provided school supplies to over 300 students annually.
