one week has come and gone in van!...

well ive been home now for 1 week can you believe it.. i cant it feels already like for ever a go since i was on the baches of costa rica...

its been amazing this week.. from a welcome home party country style at the burbon to giving 5 massages ... one night meditation out of my appartment... and seeing friends from elementry school... its a amzing and im a feeling so great!

now this week my plan is... get a web page for me and get it hooked up with a online sign up (bookings) for sessions... get buisness cards printed... get registered under extended medical as i had alreday tryed last week and went onto the wrong site! ... so many things to be excited about!!

and then clients for this week... i hope to do at least 2 a day thsi week!!! and i alreday have ppl asking so i have got to get a day timer to geep up with all my request's !!!

then some thing elts very cool happend... as i was shopping in costco today my cell phone rang... funny that this call came through cuz i have to say my phone has not been working at all missing text messages and not getting calls commingin... anyways thi scall i got while shopping was my mom she had gone to a sycic and was getting a reading done... whe she arrived the man started asking her about me!.... asking how i smichaela didnt i see her before... ? my mom answered with yes he asked how is michaela and if michaela had a bf.... my mom answered with no but she is doing great and just came back from costa rica .. he was very surprised to hear that i didnt have a boy friend and said " michaela if she does not have one yet will have one very soon and i also see a baby for her in the next year" ... my mom could not wait to call me and tell me this .. as i sat on the other line i was shocked .... i stood in sotco in my swade leperd print booties and black ripped jeans and my bright pink lipstic... in aw as i have had thsi vision for a while now that by the gae 26 i woudl be married and be getting ready or having a baby!!! amazing...

we will all have to keep posted to this as i my self am very excited to see what happens but have no expectations as i do not want to rush into any thing if it is not right....

first morning back amazing expieriance...

wow so it smy first morning back and last night i was sure i would sleep in after a long day of travel... but no i woke up at 530am and had this longing of meditation i went to grab my i pod and set up a shrine... at first i hought ill just put on some osho and do a sitting meditation but then i saw the koondalini meditation and that was calling my name... so i turned on my i pod stood up in my room and started the prosses .. i say prosses because any one who has done it know it is one! you start of with shaking... you hole body what ever feels right as i did this i started crying a huge release cam .. i guess when i went into it and asked why i felt so at home and had just been appreciating how much home means to me... and how even though i am in vancouver i am still staying grounded and i was appreciating my own needs and that i ws doing this... next was dancing omg it felt so good to be in a candle lit dark room dancing away as i danced i saw white light and started sweeping my body of any bad energy i might have picked up on the way home... then it was a gong even though im not in costa rica the gong sounds has traveled with me and yes i had a gong!! then sitting .. i sat on two pillows as you see in the picture and cryed some more... i feel so good now its amazing ...

ive also realy been wanting to go to church for the past year now and so im gonna mke it happen i had this strong feeling as i sat in meditation that my nana and uncle (hwo have passed) were sitting beside me in white might then as i meditated saw this white haylo around the crown shokra!! and all of a sudden this neeed to call up my uncles wife an ask her to go with me every sunday as i know she did this with my nana and how great would that be to have some support in this prosses so guess what im doing that today!!

also on my list is to see my dadio... so excited to me home and alredy things ae setting into place .. never would i think i would have such a drive to create this life style this well being for my self but im doing it!!

my chikas in costa rica still was thinking about you right before i started my meditation ... missing you all and know you are all on your own jurney two !!

love you all xox M

landed in vancouver after a 12 hour flight home!

what a jurney it has been ... left san hose at 730 am and flew to atlanta where there was a thunder storm awaiting our arrival as we arrived we were told there was a closure to the air port and we had to fly in the air for 1.5 hours till the storm passed ... as we got off i had to then find my luggage and re check into the us!! its was a very big process... then flew from atlanta where my next destonation was minniapolis it was funny cuz the hole 3 rides i sat next to men .... my first flight from san jose i sat with two old men whos wives were sitting on the other row ... then the next flight to minniapolis was a mad who was going to work in alaska !! and a another man that only stayed a few mins as he got bumpped to buisness class... but very cute funny thing was i got caught reading a book called bodymind ... and i was on the chapter of sex and oragsims and both of them were reading over my sholder didnt take long till they were asking what are you reading lol.. i shrugged it off with ho just a massage book... the guy going to alaska then chatted me up saying he has always wanted to get in that line of work... very funny as he was the most burley man i have ever seen... next was my flight out of minniapolis to vancouver where i was sitting with 4 guys all offering me gum and chatting me up again i pulled out the book and started reading and the guy sitting next to me this time asked is it ok to read over your shoulder lol... so funny . we ended up chatting the hold flight his name is greg and i gave him my e mail... very nice guy he then though got so into the book he took it right out of my hands and started reading he was very interested and i pin pointed the good ;) parts lol...

so if any of you fellow class mate are reading this pull out the book and hello men!!! lol

after a realy long day ... mom picked me up and we went for a realy nice dinner wheer i then thought i might surpire my gf's and meet them at rusters but as i was getting ready and mom looked up the google map we relized just how far it was!!

unfortunetly i was un able to go....

now i sit in a bed with fire burning and no bug net .... looking forward what tomorrow bring sand loving the feeling of home !

on my way to san jose...

thsi morning at 8 am menlhas car was packed and ready to go.. david menlha and joane a friend of menlhas and i all jamed in the car and headed off to san jose!!

as we were half way melhas car started acting up we pulled off at the side of the road thinking we had a flat tire but nope not the case.. seems as though the axel might have been off as the steering wheel was shaking and the wheels wobbling.. but we carried on... menlha dropped david and i off a a shopping center when she was gonna do some shopping for hocienda and we grab a taxi to out hotel..in down town san hose..thank goodness david had a room next so i felt safe as i am use to having beth next to me ... protecting me from and creature about to open out door lol

san jose is very but like mexico ... i fins it has little markets ppl dressed from the 80s lol and police and security every where !!

the hotel room was not to bad a king size bed that was two beds pushed together to make one... a huge ass flat screen tv!! who would have thought lol very strange after 3 months of no tv i watched Seinfeld ...

after david and i got settled we went for a stroll.. its amazing the climate change from hacienda to san jose it is very chilly as it has more clouds and wind here in san jose... brr i have my jeans and a poncho on with runner and am still a lil chilly ... as we walk we went to a central park witch had these amazing statues and then to a little street market where i bought my dads gift!! its very cool but dont want to ruin the surprise to ill tell you later what it is!

at about 5pm we went for dinner to this little cafe that was vegetarian i was a little skeptical but in the end i think i had the best vegie burger ever!!! mmmm then back to the hotel to watch Seinfeld and hit the sack as i had to get up at 345 am to be picked up by a taxi to take me to the air port!! where i sit now awaiting my flight!!

my flight well as you may know i am a little bit chicken when it comes to flights!! i packed my back and left alot be hind so that i would not have to re pack my bag at the air port but guess what i was 5 pounds over and they made me re pack it...i have a back pack filled with books and computers and my purse hold a dress and a pair of pants hair blow dryer straighter and much more...

and on top of all this i have just found out that my bags can not be checked all the way through so i will have to pick them up at each layover !! not fun!

ok well i gtg

love you lots and hope fully i make it home safe and sounds...

ps beth i hope you are all settled love you chika !!miss you alreday!

im a body worker!!

whoo hoo i did it im a body worker!!

i can not believe it!! its 12 am and you shoudl be proud of me as there was a big party at the bech and i was in the first car home!! i think im too excited to come home to party away tonight!! i had a glass of wine but did not wanna get drunk.. so got a ride home with a class mate!


its was amazing from graduation where we were crawling through a line of pillows with teachers and students lined up on either side and we crawled to the end of the line its was liek being in a woom as every one tryd to hold you back and you had to make your way out the line where you were greeted by some one!! amazing!!

then we had every one red out each other buddys bio.. if you recall my last blog we all had to write a bio or a blurb about our selfs.. i wish my partner gave me back mine but he kept it...so we did this then as we al stood in a sircle david dj'd and had a ong for each one of us where we danced alone in the middle of the circle as it was or turn!! then after you danced you got your certificate!!

its been a amazing expieriance and i hae also learnt that a ton of my class mates are reading my blog soo... they all wanan know what i will get up to after this and thsi is a nother reason to keep blogging!!!

second last day and session six is shown to us ... the seacret bum hole hold...

well well well we have all been talking about session 6... the bum hold hold.. well guess what there was a request for it so we all learnt ittoday!! there are 3 to 4 hold you can do ... its very intrusive but gives you a great release... some ppl this can be pain ful for as we get taught at a young age to hold our anouse tight.. dont pooh...as we call potty training.. this can creat problems liek constipation and tention in our bum holes... so these hold reales that tenstion ...

very interesting.. so who wants to try it out lol...any takers...

its finny i have a list of thing i need to get for starting up my practice in van ... gloves i think will bethe last thing on the list ... as we have also learnt how to massage the inside of the mouth ... luckly both these sessions are not done at once lol... so we can use different gloves!

ha ha ha

anyways i thought you all would enjoy to hear about session 6 mianly as its been well talked about!!

love you all lots xox ... home in 3 days!!whoo hoo..

sitting in my cabina missing the sweet simple things of life...

just finished class cryed today and relized that i am missing being loved... i feel i have learnt to love my self .. but missing a good big hug and kiss on the cheek .. a one on oen talk with some one close to me... the comforting touch of my parents... the voice of my brother down the hall... the feeling of waking up to coffee brewing and knowing moms in the other room...

well just got inturoupted by a turantula.... a big one... so time to stop talking but cant wait for home sweet home... maybe its the idea that some one here might now like me and decided to trash my stuff...or my dress...for i have not bad feelings to any oen here and thought there was love here ...

just wanting to be with ppl i love!!!

xox good night

went from enjoying my self in my last few days to packed and pissed off...GOOD VIBES ...

ok so ive gone through alot here ... and i dont think any thing quite tops what has just happened to me here at hocienda!!!

i had decided that i would pack today and get my stuff ready so that i can enjoy my last two full days here ... when i went down to the laundry line to check my clothing... i started pulling my items off the line and then saw some thing very strange !!! a dress of mine lying on the clothing line with the slip hanging out and no outer layer of the dress .. just the very top for the dress was hanging so that the slip was way longer then my dress... i walked closer thinking to my self naw that must be folded up wrong... but NO ... not the case!! SOME ONE!! has done a strait cut with sicers to my dress!!! i am so mad i went strait to menlha and aksed if one of her girls would do this she said no and the wierd thing was that it was perfectly hung on the line!!! so i think some one took sicers in the past two days and cut right around my dress .. just in despite... now who would do this or has a grudge i have no idea... but not nice i would never think in a million years to do this to some one!!! all i know is Karma is a Bitch !! so watch out who ever you are!

anyways its gotten me feeling mad and watching my back thats for sure !! i can not believe that this kinda thing would happen here !!

so knowing i have had mold... spiders ... getting lost and sleeping in the wild... shit my self ... astro traveled ... and the list goes on this by far is the wierdest thing so far...


i have no explination for this...

but bags are packed and 4 days till im in van thank god!!! i feel like im on a roller coster but so happy for the expieriance and the time i have had here !!

ok ok good vibes....

love you all xox M

photos of today... monday 4 days left to go...

4 full days left here in costa rica!

wow .. its wrapping up so fats here i just can not believe it!

tonight a few of us girls left hacienda at 2pm and headed out to a hotel where they had a pool and restaurant looking over the ocean and sun set!! we swam and a few cock tails and reminisced about out trip here and how much we have all changed.

i had two realy cool chats with these two women who gave me such cool comments!! one told me how it seams as we all have our own compass and and said that she see's her self and a few others zig zagging and when she looks at me she see's me in one direction ... then we got to talking about the future and she told me she can see me getting married in a year or two ... and she says two because one is so soon but could def see it in one!! and its just so weird cuz as i have said before i two have this strong feeling that this could happen ... its a gut feeling and other ppl are having this feeling to witch is so cool!!

the other complement i got was that I am so grounded and non judgmental here that the girls find me so easy to be around and talk to. and i was just saying to some one here that i feel like i have learn't here to have no expectations so that when some one does some thing or acts a certain way i am not disappointed or critiquing... doesnt mean i dont get annoyed by ppls actions but that i know that the annoyance is my own thing.. some thing they are doing is triggering me... and rather then putting blame looking at my self...


so very big things going on today!!!

then we got back from our little trip out and came to class and we learn't all about the business side of our course how to start up your own practice. how to be professional. how much to charge. what you need to creat a session... and so much more!!

just amazing how much we are realy learning here !!

anyways i gtg almost bed time and i have a few pics to post of today as well ..

love you all lots xox m

ps always looking for referrals!!

last few days here at hocienda ...

well it sure has been a jurney and its almost coming to a end... Today i have my 2nd last massage with my client ... as most of you know i will be working on a split my clients split is right and left side of body so today we will do her weeker side witch is her right side.. its sad to go and know that we are all going our seperate ways but know that this bond we have all made is so strong an that we are all here no matter where we are to support each other.

talking about support... i have been a little up set but trying not to let this get me donw... when i talk about wha has happened ppl start asking well what did you do and it gets me up set so please dont talk to me about it i just wanna vent..lol... soo as you all know on this past weeknd i went out and stayed in nosara ... the plan was that we were all to stay at casey's and that still was the plan at the end of that night as when we were on our way out the club we got a guy to give us a lift to her house.. but it was dark and we got lost we were ridding around on the back of thsi motor sycle for about 2hrs.. crazy!! our bums still have war wounds... so then we got takken to a beach but thats not safe to sleep at so we tried hotels ad they were all closed and then we got ditched back at the disco.. im making it quick as i wrote all about it already... well casey was dissapointed i donno why ... but unfortunetly i have tried to reach out and ask her why she is mad and tried to talk to her but i feel as though i get the cold shoulder... its not very nice to feel this way and im sure she is feeling hurt too.. but felt we had such a strong friends ship here that i cant believe that this littel miss hap has torn it a part as it appears.. and a bummer that this has happened in the last week of our course! but im moving right ahead and keeping strong knowing that i have appologised and tried to reach out. i want to finish here with a open heart and no regrets to keep strong friendships and be open to what ever comes and cherrish all the momnets casey ray and i had! as i would not take back one second!

soo what is a head.... looking as short term thsi is what it looks like!!

mon- clinic with our cliencts .. and maybe going to a restraunt for dinnera nd a swim..

tuesday- practice and maybe learning baout the buisness side of things..

wensday - practice talking about our last session and give our partners our last session ..

who would have thought panthers roaming the beach!

soo i had planned on hitting up the black beach today but plans changed when i got wind that there were two bby black panthers on black beach !

when you hear there are babies you know there will be a moms some where near as well... so we all had to stay clear of that beach today!! makes me thing what elts is out there roaming about ... when i have been walking every where late at night in the dark night....

this sure changes my perspective on walking late at night or even during the day... do wanna end up being some things dinner with only 7 days left to go...

also notting that we still have not yet found the terantula that was crawling around in our cabina !! he could be under our bed for all we know and we have found out that they have up to 3000 babies.. ewe!!! my only hope is that if it does hatch babies that it takes longer then 9days to hatch them as after that i will be gone!!! and back in van!!

so less then a week now till i arrive home i can not believe it !! but heard that vancouver has SNOW!! and they are still expecting more snow... i knew that it woudl hold out till i came back!! lol brr i can only imagine how cold it will be when i get off that plane!! but it will be well worth it to come home and see all of you!!

anyways its about dinner time and im a smelly sweaty girl so gotta hop in the shower...

bye for now xox
