I turned off the autopilot, asked questions, realized the world around me, took chances, created memories, had adventures, strengthened relationships, gained confidence, found forgiveness, believed in love, met amazing people, widened my perspective, opened my heart, laughed more, cried more, lived through new experiences & most of all started my pursuit of happiness.

I love the fact that we are able to now connect through a mutual connection (I'll be sure to say hi for you to J Newman during our Wed Improv class) and share experiences all while being halfway across the world from each other. Thank you for reaching out & commenting, because it is very good to know that my heart is not racing in this direction alone. I will continue to read on your experiences as they will serve as the vision for mine - seeing as you ARE already there and on your way in this pursuit. I still have yet to make that jump, but know that it will be soon. I would like to keep in touch and share the obstacles & enlightenments you go through! I am holding on ever so tight to Pura Vida as my life's mandate, but it is people like you who will truly be my source of inspiration.

J Newman is a close friend and I was on his twitter page, saw your post re: Spanish and then jumped my way over here. I'm a Torontonian down in Argentina as we speak, studying Spanish, but also taking in the country through some travel and then looking to work down here depending on opportunities. I can relate to how you are feeling right now from your time in Costa Rica (was there in 2006). Anyways, I found my way to this post somehow and just wanted to tell you that you have a great voice and that the words above resonated with me. Well said on many fronts, particularly the paragraph on being driven by fear. Think you nailed it. Take care, best of luck in your pursuits and make sure to cling tightly to the amazing memories and lessons of CR and pura vida! JS Not entirely sure how I found my way here Angie.

It's been awhile, thanks for taking the time to read and post a comment on the blog. Funny, I think you are actually at the same place of employment I am at right now. Hope things are going well for you. As for the writing, part of it is the abundance of reading I do online & offline and the other part of it is really - just writing from the heart. Nothing can go wrong when you do that. :) Link me up next time you're back in town :) Cheers! Adam! It’s been awhile, thanks for taking the time to read and post a comment on the blog.

It's nice to see that you're doing so well and exploring things in life outside of a career. Travelling to Asia, or anywhere outside of North America is, as my coworker put it, a "slap in the face". Also, your writing is absolutely astounding. There's no way this was the Angie I knew before :P. What's your secret to writing like that and can you teach me? Cheers, Adam Hey Angie,

Your post makes me smile. A life of introspective insight, internal-validation & sefl realzation is the only happiness we can ask for and earn. Own it and work it. The same hustle and fever you applied in your professional life--put all that character and passion into your self discovery. The 'dividends' are greater than one can imagine. I'm really excited for you and happy to see you grinning at the new possibilities. Angie it is so refreshing to see you committing to a path of fulfillment and self-awareness.

I’m really excited for you and happy to see you grinning at the new possibilities.

I am really glad that with my words I am able to reach out to people who feel the same way. That is why improv classes couldn't have come at a better time because it allows the ability to feel happy & be a source of happiness - well, we try :) And for your information, you don't have to give the shirt back ;) Hey Will – thank you for that comment.
