This week, as part of our ongoing maintenance program at the resort, we replaced the bamboo rails on the Zen Path. In addition to safety, the rails add natural beauty to the trail.

Sunset at the Edge of the Universe

The chillout station on the point of the "Alligator Nose" rock formation was christened "Edge of the Universe" by some really special guests. The name stuck!

the Seaside Trail

Took a walk on the Seaside Trail late yesterday afternoon, taking in the views of Buccaneer Landing. This rocky, west-facing, leeward side of the property has a plethora of beautiful spots to enjoy.

Taking my family's resort to the next level and beyond.

• This story only gets better every day.
• An attempt at 100% honesty in every aspect of my life.
• When in doubt, I ask myself, "What would Silky do?" (Scott "Silky" Hayes is a soul brother and an angel of a man. He helps me truly understand that It's all good.)
• "We don't have to have all the answers today." - Kevin Hernandez (my closest soul brother)
• "Many paths lead to the Divine." - M. Balagera (Mumbai, India, 2006)

• "Que nadie te lo cuente. [Don't let anyone out-experience you in life.]" - Luis Perez-Eguiarte (my "enfant terrible")
• "If you are not growing, you're dying." - Karl-Heinz Mueller (my only Swiss friend)

• "Sometimes you just gotta say 'F_ck it.'" - Michelle Groover (my closest soul sistah)
• "Nobody's perfect." - Madonna (another soul sistah)

• "Love is the answer. The only answer." - Bob Marley
• ~~Impossible.~~ I'm possible.

• Be courageous and fearless.
• It's all good.

• It only gets better!

"Life is all about perspective. Amazing thing is, we have 100% control over the angle from which we view people, things, events, and circumstances. Sometimes a minor shift of a degree or two can make all the difference. If Life is not rosy for you, question your perspective. After all, with 360 degrees in a circle, there are at least that many possible perspectives on anything. Thinking three-dimensionally, one quickly realizes that the number of possible perspectives on any one life event or circumstance is infinite and - most likely - beyond our immediate comprehension. In this Universe of infinite possibilities, the possibilities we choose become our reality. We must choose wisely."

The highest in me bows to the highest in you. May this be the happiest day of your life.

And so it is.
