Tico Tweeters----I see a Tweety Bird

      I am happy to say live in a country where there is a club of  " Tico Tweeters" That's actually the name of the Birding Club's monthly newsletter.  Costa Rica, situated between Panama and Nicaragua is a mecca for Birding Enthusiasts and in fact I'm happy to say that the Birds of Costa Rica greet me each morning and not CNN and most certainly not Fox News!

Psychology Tip:  If you're not so fortunate as to live in Costa Rica, I recommend you buy a CD with the sounds of the rainforest and begin your day with a bird song and not a body count in the morning!   In my Personal Growth Retreats and Business Seminars, I reinforce how the first 15 minutes of your day are absolutely critical to your daily psychology.  You see , much like booting up a computer, your brain needs a positive boot up  and I  recommend spending time with nature and/or  reading something inspirational as part of your daily ritual.  Watch how much better you feel , thanks to this first date of the day with nature and serenity.   

But back to the Birds of Costa Rica---Each morning I wake up in the mountains of  Escazu to the sound of a flock of singing parrots overhead;  As I sip my coffee in the morning (the best in the world by the way),  I watch hummingbirds attracted by special flowers andthe sugar water we have arranged to attract them busy at work in what we call our Hummingbird Hyatt.

Yes, when birdwatchers die, they want to go to heaven in Costa Rica,  where over 850 species reside or fly in for vacation. As Charles A. Lindbergh quoted on his deathbed:

"If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes"   

I couldn't agree more Charles, which is why we chose Costa Rica for Writing  Living and Flying High as a Bird amidst the Beauty of Pacha Mama.
