I'm an American woman who took a leap of faith and moved to Colombia 15 years ago after the devastating loss of my daughter. What began as a journey to find peace and heal a broken heart became an entirely new chapter of my life.
Fifteen years later, Colombia isn't just where I live. It's my home, and a place that has taught me more about life, love, and myself than I ever could have imagined.
I bought a villa in the mountains, renovated it, and created my own little piece of paradise, Villa Migelita Ecolodge. Along the way, I've embraced a new culture, learned Spanish (still a work in progress!), made wonderful friendships, and discovered that life has a funny way of surprising us when we least expect it.
My life here is filled with hummingbirds, breathtaking mountain views, unexpected adventures, occasional chaos, and plenty of stories that sometimes seem too unbelievable to be true!
Hummings from Paradise is my way of sharing it all. The beautiful moments, the challenges, the laughter, the tears, and the lessons I've learned along the way.
I believe life is a book filled with chapters, and I'm still writing mine. Some chapters are heartbreaking, others are hilarious, but every one has helped shape the woman I am today.
I hope you'll follow along as I continue discovering not only this beautiful country I've come to call home, but also a little more about myself.
And believe me, there's never a dull moment in paradise!

A gentle giant! Orion is such a sweet dog! I was laughing and showing Terry the picture with Lucy in it, telling him how little Lucy would run all the dogs around the yard, even great big Orion! I love all your babies!

His new thing is to eat bananas. He is crazy for bananas. LOL I have to watch it because he gets a little overweight. Thanks John, and Luci bit Orion on the tail really hard one day. He did nothing but move his tail, they all stay away from her. M

Wow… The first thing that anyone notices about the Dogo Argentino is its striking white coat; this is not commonly seen in the Mastiff family. This is one of the few breeds that come in only one colour i.e. white. This is what makes them unique in the world. This standard color was given to them to ensure that the hunters could easily spot them in the tricky terrain of Argentina.
