in august i got to fly away to paradise with my family to costa rica. we stayed at a little beach shack in playa esterillos. i enjoyed 8 days of beautiful sunrises of yellows oranges and pinks rising over palm trees and mountains, yummy foods, small wave days & big wave days, lots of seashells, waterfall, zip line over rainforest, friendly dog friends, beauty everywhere, yoga and headstands by the beach, painting w sisters, family and lovely sunsets. peace & love!

i am back home from costa rica. it was beautiful. i will miss this sunrises, palm trees, fresh fruits, avacado, bannana smoothies, shell walks with sisters, little sister saying 'i am gonna fall in love with him' about every other boy she saw, waves, warm water, sunshine, surfing with dad and rick, zip lines through the rainforest, waterfalls, climbing to the top of the waterfall, bicyles, friendly dogs, mountains, free birds, wild horses, coffee con leche with mom and sis, sand castels, black beans and crackers, sunsets, feathers and uno. i will miss all that and more. costa rica is a lovely place i wish my home was more like it. People really work together there always lending a helping hand and working together as a community. Also the main transportation is by bike. It is a wonderful thing to see more bikes in a parking lot than cars. I wish more people would cherish there bikes. And how all you really need is love and family. They build a home around that and thats all you...

here are some photos from my weekend cruise to the bahamas. it was a fun little getaway. lots of sunshine, family and fun.

Hello and welcome to my Blog. I have been inspired to make a blog by complete strangers. Artists in particular. And since i dream to be in thier shoes i have created my own. My name is Raychel sometimes Rachel. Currently 23 years of living. Born and raised in Sunny South Florida. I enjoy Florida mainly for the beaches and the sunshine. I wish sometimes thier would be a better vibe around. That people would slow down and appreciate things more. Recently i have been doing more and more to try and make the best out of things. I have joined the green revolution and hope that more people decide to do thier part. I also have been painting more recently. I typically only paint for gifts to give to friends. This past week i had 4 paintings to do for 4 special friends. I need to make more time to paint. Once i make one i always feel like i should make an other but sometimes my paint is abandoned for months. This is an example of something that inspires me. This artist is Kate Suton: http://www....
