Nuevo Comienzo

On August 20th of 2010 I posted #365 of my 365 Reasons I Love Costa Rica. That blog had been a labor of love for me for over two years. However, like most good things, they usually have to reach their end. But that "end" can mark a new beginning, a "nuevo comienzo" as my Spanish-speaking friends might say. So here it is, Costa Rica Guy's new blog. In it I plan to divulge the countless varieties of ways one can make a difference, here in Costa Rica, or wherever you might find yourself in the moment. I hope you enjoy reading it half as much as I know I will enjoy writing it.

Got a Passion to Write?

Calling all authors....
I started this blog with the idea of doing something a bit different.  I spent over two years posting to my blog, 365 Reasons I Love Costa Rica.  Many of the posts expressed my feelings about living in Costa Rica.  Many also expressed my feelings about life in general.  But most, if not all, were a bit too concerned with me.  Well, I'm over it!  The new blog proposes to be more about you...or about how to serve, contribute, make a difference, and be a sustainable citizen of the planet earth.  I don't believe I have a corner on the wisdom required to be able to do those things, so I am extending an invitation to you to share your thoughts, feelings, experience and knowledge on the subject.  That's quite a bold step to take, i.e., to open up my precious blog to other writers, but what the heck.  I really want this blog, as well as the Facebook Group that is attached to it, to be a forum for sharing ideas, for imparting wisdom, for learning from the diverse experiences that each of us bring to the table.  So please let me know if you have a passion to write about doing good things for other people.  That, to put it simply, is the real and underlying theme of this tribe.  A tribe of do-gooders who would like to use their time left on earth a little wiser than maybe the previous, say, 49 years (at least in my case).  So if you got something to say, by all means SAY IT!  If you want to write, here's the drill.  Let me know (via an email, or comment to this post, or message on Facebook....whatever) and I will be in touch.  I have never done this before, so I gotta figure the ins and the outs, but I am willing to give it a try and hopefully we will all be rewarded in the effort.

  1. Scott, I completely support what you are trying to do. I think the problem with most Americans regarding Costa Rica is the attitude, 'what can I get from Costa Rica' not 'what can I give, if I move there'.
    Don't give up, Scott. There are giving people out there. Not everyone wants to move to CR, live in a gated community, and spend their time complaining about the roads and their domestic servants.
    Hang in there!
