This week Paya Bay is hosting the April Dechagas Yoga Retreat. Yesterday the yogi group did an afternoon hike in the Port Royal National Park and Wildlife Refuge with Tania Rozsypalova, our East End wellness diva. Located mere minutes from Paya, the park is quite beautiful and the hike offers great vistas from the spine of Roatan Island.

MacBook Pro with macOS Mojave 10.14.5

After 5 years of near-perfect service, my old MacBook Pro died towards the end of last month. My sister Sharlene was coming to visit from Texas and picked me up a new one of these amazing machines from Apple. Very happy and grateful for my good fortune!

Happy New Year, everyone!

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

• 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.)

"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.
