"Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what" -Harper Lee

ann-brampton-blog-costa-rica.jpgI´m a single working mom living in Costa Rica… I have 2 wonderful teenage kids and I work in digital advertising and production. I am a happy person, I love to laugh and be creative, photography is a passion such as traveling and being outdoors. I am well traveled, I have walked the streets of Buenos Aires, rocked all night in Las Vegas, been fishing in Nebraska, snowboarding in Colorado, walked Chinatown New York, Toronto & San Francisco. I still have a couple things left on my list too! I’m very easy going and relaxed, I enjoy the most simple things in life, from people watching to just sitting with someone and having a really great conversation. I love to recycle and try to be as “green” as possible on a daily basis and I also love to scramble out of the box as often as I can.

I used to be a workaholic and just a few months ago I decided to set up shop at home and focus on other important things in my life. I’m self taught and therefore every day I force myself to learn something new. On my free time, I love the feeling of being able to do the simple things at home, spend time with my kids, read, watch movies, people watch, walk, drive to the mountains or beaches and watch the sunset. I’m a simple person, I’ve had the highest highs and the lowest lows… I have learned that the best things in life are not things and that we must take pleasure in enjoying the most basic details of life.

This blog is very personal, I love to post lyrics, funny work stuff, quotes and/or thoughts that either express how I feel at the moment or remind me of something in my past…

I work in digital advertising and production, I am currently working from home doing some consulting, personalized web maintenance, Social Media strategies and maintenance. This has given me the time to focus on a few things in my life that I have neglected for years… certainly one of the best decisions I have made in a long time! :)

For now I’m weeks away from spending some weeks up in Alberta, Canada… it’s a start of something new, something great, something beautiful, certainly looking forward to being there! :)
