“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” – Nelson Mandela
Hi. I’m Michelle. Welcome to my blog. I will admit that I have wanted to write this for years. At least 4 to be exact, which is when I signed up for my WordPress account. Today is the first day I am posting something. It may be the last – hopefully not, but we’ll see how it goes.
I’m not sure what my fascination with writing a blog is. I think it will be extremely difficult, time consuming, and probably very challenging. I’m not a writer, I don’t have the greatest spelling or punctuation, or even vocabulary for that fact. It seems like the more spanish I learn, the more english I forget. So whether one person reads this or one hundred read it – it doesn’t really matter. I’m doing it for me and my own personal satisfaction. I don’t have any “great content that I’ve been dying to share”, I’m not an expert in anything but I do, however, hold an opinion on everything. So please don’t be offended by my remarks or my extreme sense of sarcasm. I’ve been told that sometimes I should use the “sarcasm font” which I have yet to find. So everything is very tongue in cheek, and should all be taken with more than a grain of salt. This is me and who I am. I’m Canadian, living in Mexico for almost 20 years, and for the most part loving every minute of it. I’m a workaholic, don’t take enough time for myself, and my two favorite past times are coffee and wine. Chances are very good that with each post I write, there will be one of the two sitting beside my computer. Currently it’s wine.
I’m the founder of Prickly Pear, which is basically my baby. I am the driving force behind it, and could not be where we are today without one of the greatest teams that are around. You will learn a little more about them throughout my rants and raves. I’m sure for the most part I will be raving about them.
Well – that’s it. That’s my introduction. I hope to share with you some of the very things that I love about Mexico, and specifically Cabo. I hope to give you a glimpse into living life in Mexico, and what that entails. What it’s like for as foreigner living here, how I got here, and what made me stay. I will share with you some of our favorite things to do, and favorite places to go. You may have heard of them, or they may be new to you. I promise to give you my honest opinion and a little behind the scenes look at what it’s like to live and run a business in Mexico.
In the meantime. Salud! Cheers!
