Pulling more than my share

Whether in Costa Rica or New York, we’ve got to bring with us our stuff. No matter what stage of my life I’ve been in, I seem to always be hauling a cart. On the airplane, I’ve always got more to pull along than others. I’m amazed at those with the single fanny pack. I admire people who get it all in one bag. I even had a job once that ran out of office space when it came to me, they gave me a cart. Just find a space that’s open I was told.

With my car in for another adjustment, I pull my orange cart out and take it from the kid’s school to the grocery store to the pharmacy. One night, a rat crawled into my garage and must have discovered something I’d neglected to take out of the bag after shopping. The little rodent chewed a huge hole right through the bottom. Now, I’ve got to be sure I don’t put a wandering avocado on the bottom.

Few people stop for pedestrians in Costa Rica. Being pregnant or crippled doesn’t always add to the advantage either. Having a cart surely gets no exceptions. I have to fight my way across like the rest of the world as I lug my stuff to it’s next stop.

I go through phases or trying to downsize and get sleek. It never seems to work. Between diapers and snacks and water and my camera and…..I’ll be pulling more than my share for a while to come.

Must hear! Sunstruck Radio! Our fourth show - all about retirement and food - the two are inseperable!

SunStruck Radio
stories, culture, and the people who make it.

Sunstruck Radio
brings you an inside look at the human quest for paradise.

We search the world and interview those
who are most determined to find it.

On our fourth broadcast, we discuss What’s for Dessert with
Tina Tank from Michigan.

Last broadcast, we met Fred Tank from Michigan fresh from his move into retirement. Now, we talk with his “better half” Tina Tank.

What happens when a woman finds herself with a husband home all day?

If you’re moving to paradise or consider retirement to be the next heaven on earth, this is more than something to consider - regardless where we live - this stage of life can be a different kind of adventure.

The show is full other questions and perhaps a few answers.
And, there’s lots of talk about our favorite subject - FOOD!

Susan even gets up close and comfortable to a goat milking situation. You’ve got to hear that!

Ever wonder: What’s Next?

After all those big events in life: Graduation; marriage; babies; the purchase of your first sofa - ever wonder what’s next?

Instead of wandering around aimlessly, my friend and co-producer of SunStruck Radio decided to ask that very question.

Listen to our third broadcast of the soon-to-be award winning podcast (do they have awards for such things?)

What’s Next?

Anna Jordan interviews Fred Tank from Michigan while he visited Costa Rica about his next big transition: Retirement. The discussion is insightful and touching.

We also track down people and ask them what you always wanted to know:

If money, time, or anything else was a barrier, what would you do tomorrow. If only you could? The answers are exactly what you’d think they’d be and more.

Plus we have stories and a few other things to entertain you. So tune in, to shownumber three at SunStruck Radio won’t you? Or subscribe here. Paradise is waiting.

And of course a great round of applause for all of our original music provided by Toby Tune.

Have you heard anything so cool?

Sunstruck Radio hits again with it’s second program. My great friend Anna Jordan and I put together this spiffy show about what it is like to actually make that move to the postcard you’ve always dreamed of. Cool, crazy, calm and sometimes collected, but always interesting.

Meg Latshaw shares with us what it was like to pack up those boxes and relocate from the United States to sunny Costa Rica. She’s retired and looking forward to a brand new life in Central America.

SunStruck Radio

We grab a few other voices and ask them some interesting questions on what they brought with them; what exactly do they think; and what did they leave behind.

I share a story that spins from downtown St. Paul, Minnesota where I actually lost my cookies on my journey to paradise. It’s not all that easy to pick up everything and move to another country. Even my pets had to adjust.

I hope you enjoy. Perhaps spread the word and subscribe. Paradise is really just a matter of the mind, isn’t it??

Don’t Look Down

I was thrilled to start the day. The night before I had successfully found a website and URL for the podcast I am publishing. It was a magical moment, alone at the cafe.
