Around this time I moved to California again, staying in an awesome vacation spot on mission Beach. Living on the beach had always been my dream. And now my life had become a vacation. Cruising up and down mission beach on my bike, driving a sexy Hyundai Tiburon and having enough money to go out regularly – it was a new golden era of freedom and blessings for me, after all that hard work! I was living the life of Peter Pan.
It wasn’t long before I got into another serious relationship with a lovely woman named Shereen (which literally means sweet in Iranian) and left my beachfront condo on mission beach California for us to pursue a life together. We traveled all over the world, worked trade shows together, toured Europe, settled in San Diego for about a year going back and forth from Costa Rica. Eventually we split up because she wanted to settle in Oregon with her family and I was getting the strong call to Costa Rica.
FINDING A PLACE IN COSTA RICA
Around this time I invested in a beachfront property in Costa Rica that would serve as a wonderful home base no matter what happened. It was in my favorite spot in Costa Rica where I had so many incredibly blessed experiences. I was still with Sheren at the time when we broke in this new condo on the beach. It was a blessed experience to be able to run out my front door and go surfing any time I wanted.
I realized after a while it wasn’t about the place at all and all about my intention and appreciation for the life I was living.
