be generous with both

Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won't have to hunt for happiness.

rum punches at la sirena

After the hike in the Port Royal National Park, our group's next stop was La Sirena in Camp Bay to enjoy the sunset and one of Jimmy and Celina's famous rum punches...

to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune

True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island... to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.

- Baltasar Gracián

a walk in the park

Today I accompanied a group of special guests on a hike in the Port Royal National Park. The trailhead is less than ten minutes by car from Paya Bay Resort. It's such a beautiful nature reserve! We Roatanians are very lucky to have it to enjoy and share with the world.

The last photo captures Louise (L) and Thelma who came along for the adventure. Roatan, Bay Islands of Honduras.

focus on creating what you want

Your job is you and only you. When you are working in harmony with the law, no-one can come between you and the Universe. However if you think another person can get in the way of what you want, then you have done a flip to the negative. Focus on creating what you want.

You are the center of divine operation in your life, and your partner is the Universe. No one can get in the way of your creation.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

I think every year brings unknowns that you have to deal with and handle, confront and embrace.

flashback: memories of april, 2008

Came across this old post from back in April, 2008. Back when the Paya Trail was still under construction (and only half-finished...)

Path Building
Monday, April 18, 2008

   
This afternoon Bannis and I put in about four hours of work on the new path through the Virgin Tropical Garden Reserve. It's hard, sweaty, slow work; but the path is shaping up very nicely.

One sure way to lose a blessing is to focus on and criticize those trivial things you've decided are its "imperfections."
