The Lifestyle You Deserve

lifestyle1 As we sit back and look at “current events” and the “economical situations” that face us today; we realize there are only two directions in which we con move. Forward, or backward. If you’re on this site now, you’re planning a vacation. That vacation may be a bit longer than normal, or you may not be intending on “coming back” at all.

We share a common “belief” if you will… a common “way of being”. We all share the desire to create the picture perfect lifestyle.

As we sit back and look at “current events” and the “economical situation” that faces us today; we realize there are only two directions we con move in. Forward, or backward. If your on this site now, you’re planning a vacation. That vacation may be a bit longer than normal, or you may not be intending on “going back” at all.

It starts from a fantasy in our head, real life scenarios playing like a video over and over. The difference between our fantasies vs. true fantasies, is that we have a plan of action, we know what the outcome we are seeking does exist! All we desire is that “push” in the right direction to solidify are current state of mind as well as answer the questions in our heads so we feel as though we now have all the information we need to continue forward. So what is the lifestyle that so many of us wish to achieve?

Here’s the part where I would normally ask you to sit back, relax and close your eyes… continue with the first two, but keep your eyes open… you’ll need to continue reading.

After carefully listening to a lot of LIKE MINDS, here are some of the following “turn key” lifestyles we’ll address later on in this site as well:

I open my eyes with a bit of a start… I hadn’t been aware of the fact that I had just dozed off. Who could blame me though, the sweet smell of the Caribbean Sea, wafting through my nostrils, freeing up any signs of past allergies…the mesmerizing “swooshing” of the waves breaking against the beach, and the warm steady glow of the sun seeping through every inch of my skin, rejuvenating every cell in my body. This is ultimate relaxation. Today is a work day however…I should grab my laptop and get some writing done for my travel website. What’s in my mind right now should be out there, and available for everyone! An hour at that, and its off to the beach condo. With the money I’m saving now, I can afford to hire some “help”. Not really help per say, but a lifestyle choice. I’m referring to my private chef. She’ll cook for me every night. Local food here is AMAZING! I’ll stop at the beach bar and grab a drink… hopefully they still have some fresh coconut milk to throw in!

The Number 2 lifestyle award goes to:

My old Roman “Condo” screams character. It’s a matter of taste I suppose. Some would love it, while others would hate it. As far as modern conveniences go.. well… there aren’t really any. I have an old tv, a fridge that looks like an antique icebox and my kitchen and bathroom “work just fine”. But it’s the patina of the place that gives it that character. Layers of centuries old paint cover the interior walls like a impressionist artists’ dream. The furniture is a collection of “flea market finds” I’ve collected over the months from various tradesmen and local artisans. They each have their own unique style, that kind of creates its own theme throughout the living spaces.

The best part is my windows. They are the old swing-out windows. You know… the kind that looks like there should be a porch to walk out on, but there is just a railing there instead? My windows are different. They have no curtains. In the warmer months I love to leave the windows wide open all night. It lets a fresh breeze waft through the bedroom, but the best part is in the morning. I wake up to the sunlight creeping between the buildings, and the sound of footsteps and constant chatter 3 stories below on the narrow cobbled streets. I can smell the freshly brewed espresso from the corner cafe, and the scent of bread fills the air by the time I’m up and headed to the shower. I love this place. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
