2020 ushered in big promises in my house. Although the first week of January I faced a double mastectomy, my house plans for Costa Rica kept me focused and in creation mode. I swear my healing was boosted by this and we booked flights to return in mid March.
As I was getting ready to wire funds to the attorney, he unexpectedly asked me to hold off. I shrugged it off, adopting a ‘pura vida’ attitude into the weekend. However, that Monday we learned the Supreme Court in San Jose issued a decree to rezone Cocles Beach for the indigenous BriBri tribe that lived in the mountains.
Whaaaaat?!
Needless to say we were all shocked, attorney included, noting the zoning had not been changed since the 70’s, so this could take possibly years to figure out.
Years?!
With my real estate dreams dead in the water, I felt an enormous sadness with my lost sense of purpose. Shortly thereafter, I noticed a lost sense of taste and smell. And then, well, the world shut down.
Looking back, I now realize that my angels must have played a role in that rezoning decree because thousands of dollars were saved —
how could I have possibly managed a vacation property thousands of miles away during a global pandemic ???
Silver linings, right? ✧
