WooHoo.  You look terrific.  And the little bit of skin you can pull doesn't even show unless you go and pull it out.  How wonderful.

  So stop pulling on it right!?!

I just wanted to show everything, not just the good stuff, it is there, I just wasn't going to go and point it out if I didn't have to...  

But when someone commented on it, I wanted to be honest and show them to see I did have a bit of loose skin... 

I promise I will stop pullin' on it! 

Hugs,

 You've done an incredible job with your sleeve.  You have less loose skin than most women that are even younger than you are.  Be proud girl, be oh so proud of yourself.

Thanks so much Lee, I am 'thankful', oh so 'thankful'... thanks Ma & Pa for the good genetics, and I am sure my height does not hurt either.  I spread that 88 lbs over almost 6 long feet of fat!

Thanks again honey, you made my night!

You're amazing, Cindy!  I am totally inspired by your pictures.  

I've always meant to ask - what brought you to Belize?

Long Story Short:
-  Our investments were doing great!
-  We sold everything we owned in Victoria, BC Canada
-  We bought a motorhome and 2 scooters
-  We retired at 38 and 43 years old
-  We went travelling in Mexico, Belize & Guatemala
-  Had the time of our lives
-  Decided to set up residency in Belize (English speaking, could drive to it, made sence for all kinds of reasons)
-  Investments tanked
-  Opened our own Real Estate Company
-  Living here happily ever after :)  Doing something we love!
-  Live in a little cabana on the beach, on a beautiful tropical island, called Caye Cualker.  The Belize Barrier Reef (2nd longest in the world, is just a mile offshore...)
-  I walk 4 miles a day in my barefeet :)

Feel free to check out some of our websites:
-  www.WeAreTraveling.com
-  www.CayeCaulkerPropertiesForSale.com
-  www.CayeCaulkerWeather.com 

That's why Caye Caulker, Belize...

Big hugs and thanks so much!

Wow!  That's fascinating!  

I love when people take real risks and reap the benefits.  It's good for all of us to hear the possibilities in following a dream.

I 100% agree!!

It is like I had these narrow ideas of what I could do, where I could live, who I could be... we need to break free of all of that, and explore the possibilities!! 

Life does not have to be so predictable... I cannot stress enough, at 45 years old, to follow your dreams, and if you don't have any, find some, make some, if you are not happy or you just want 'more' in life... stop the madness and think about where you are and what you are doing, and break away from what is expected of you... 

Yes it is risky, yes you might fail, we almost did, not once but twice... but giving up was not an option, going back to living in Canada was not an option, we had to do what it took to survive and we did...

I am not sure what I would change about my life, I am very very happy, and I feel responsible for that.  I don't settle for:
-  the wrong man
-  the wrong friends
-  the wrong career
-  the wrong town

I keep making changes and going for what will make me happy.  I honestly have to pinch myself some days...

Our next adventure is going to be selling the business we built here, and moving to Tonga, but that is another whole story...

Thanks for your interest, big hugs!
