My back yard


Just a quick update. Got back from the last trip to Belize before the big move. Went straight to the Island when I got there and it did not go well, at least at this point. The deal was starting to have some problems, then, upon closer inspection of the buildings, I found more problems. I was supposed to stay for three days on Tobacco Caye, after one day, I was ready to go. I was scared and panicking that none of this was going to work out. I decided to go to the main land and look for house. Which went amazing. Found the coolest house in between Hopkins and Sittee River. Its two bedroom, huge screened porch, dock, it is perfect. Then I get a phone call. The owners of another resort on the Island heard my deal was getting shaky and the wanted to meet with me. Long story short, it was a match made in Heaven. They are the cutest little old couple and we all knew it was meant to be. They own a place that is running, doesn't need much work and has a Marine Research station on the grounds. The potential is huge. I got tears in my eyes when the meeting was over knowing the Universe was guiding me exactly where I needed to be. The last piece of the puzzle did not fall into place until the morning I was leaving. I found the perfect boat. Its a 28' deep V, with a 200 Yamaha. I could actually go back to Louisiana in this boat if I had to. I got home only to find some craziness that had taken place with my home here. Now I am packing my stuff, staying in a motel, dreaming of my new adventure that lies only weeks away. I hope everyone will start planning when they are coming to visit.........

  2. Wow...Shannon..What an incredible story, not ONLY to the bigger picture that is certainly your destiny but a true testament to the man you are and the man you are determined to become. If what you were doing was easy, EVERYONE would be doing it. And as far as what you've returned to at home, well, it's not really home anymore is it? Home is where your heart it, and your heart is clearly in the clear blue ocean. And as far as family, well...Family is who you choose it to be. Release it my friend, because you are a better man.
