Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always.

Super talented professional photographer Odeta Vaitkunas shared some more photos from her recent trip to Paya. Here are pictures from the Tribal Beach Party on Bliss Beach.

the easy path

Our natural state of being is joy, and it takes so much energy to think negative thoughts, to speak negative words, and to feel miserable. The easy path is good thoughts, good words, and good deeds.

Take the easy path.

odeta's eye

Professional photographer Odeta Vaitkunas and her husband Dave were just here at Paya on their second visit. She shared the awesome photos below with me. The first picture is of Roatan's sister island, Utila. It's typical to overfly this low-lying island on the final approach to Roatan's international airport.

Going forward I'm going to strive to be as happy as Pharrell Williams and the other people in this video seem to be. What an amazing artist!

the highest power

Love is the highest power we possess to be in complete harmony with the law of attraction. The more love we feel the greater our power. The more selfless love we feel, the more unfathomable our power.

The law of attraction has been called the law of love, because the law itself is a gift of love to humanity. It is the law by which we can create incredible lives for ourselves.

The more love we feel the greater our power to create a magnificent life of love, joy, and harmony.

time to do something

"We Brake 4 Climate" from What We Know on Vimeo.

"The evidence is overwhelming: levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are rising," the report says. "Temperatures are going up. Springs are arriving earlier. Ice sheets are melting. Sea level is rising. The patterns of rainfall and drought are changing. Heat waves are getting worse as is extreme precipitation. The oceans are acidifying."

The planet has warmed by about 1.4 degrees since the late 1800s as carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases have built up in the atmosphere from human activity. If emissions keep climbing, temperatures could rise another four to eight degrees over the century, the report says, pushing the climate beyond the range experienced in millions of years and increasing the odds of irreversible damage.

the reason I've decided to write again

Davinci, whenever I'm feeling down or the weather is cold and gray outside I go read your blog. It's always a positive, uplifting experience for me. You are the person I turn to when I need a charge of positive energy. 

- Tim, a special guest and family friend. Tim and his wife, Dorice, just completed their seventh visit to Paya Bay Resort!

the reason I'm not writing

The work I do on this blog comes from my heart. My heart is shattered at this moment. If you consider yourself one of my friends, I kindly ask you to send positive thoughts in my direction.

before you even ask

If you make time to list all the things you are grateful for, and you feel the feelings of gratitude, you will feel amazing every day. Your frequency will be high and you will move through your days in love with being alive, bringing joy wherever you go, positively affecting one person after another.

When you live a life like this, everything you want will come before you even ask.
