happy 40th birthday, jason!

My good friend Jason, of Arizona, chose Paya Bay as the venue to celebrate his 40th birthday! He, his partner, and several members of Jason's immediate family (including his father and step-mom) did a "resort takeover" to celebrate Jason's BIG birthday. "I couldn't think of a better place to celebrate my 40th birthday than Paya! I just wanted to be in this awesome place surrounded by the people I love." In these photos, Jason and Luís enjoy blissful afternoon moments in the seaside plunge pool on Bliss Beach.

40th birthday memories (3)

Sunday, Nov. 21. Began with the Breakfast of Champions...

Micheladas (beer with tomato juice, Lea & Perrins, lime, salt, and pepper sauce) for hangover relief!

Sunday evening. First, the Universe gave us the most spectacular moonrise! Then, Jim showed up with cool party lights that were the perfect touch to the evening! The photos are amazing...

 

Thanks for the magic, Universe and Jim!

We wrapped up the weekend with a beautiful dinner. This birthday was definitely well and thoroughly celebrated! What awesome love, fun, and friendship!

Lordy, Lordy! Ana Isabel, Davinci, and Hugo are forty!

40th birthday memories

What an AMAZING WEEKEND we've had!

Friday, 5PM. Friends arrive from La Ceiba. A welcome tailgate party in the airport parking lot was a great way to get things rolling...

Friday, 7 PM. ...Which evolved into a blissful evening of partying and bar-hopping in West End. Here Susanna aptly expresses the sentiment of the weekend!...

Friday, ??PM. There were moments like this...

... and moments like this...

 ... and this...

presents!

I LOVE presents!

Margaret and Peter you guys are beyond words! Loving, sweet, kind, thoughtful, and wonderful are words that just barely begin to describe you. Thank you so much for the gifts and the beautiful energy you share with me. Much love to you, my friends.

forty and holding the future in my hand

I turn 40 this coming Friday, November 19th... AND MAN, WHAT A SPECTACULAR RIDE IT'S BEEN! The people! The experiences! The places! The beauty! The emotions! The lessons! The knowledge! The courage! The accomplishments! The moments! The thrills! The pleasure! The pain! The wisdom! The feelings! The scents! The flavors! The textures! The colors! The sounds! And - most of all - ALL THE LOVE! And to think this mind-blowing Life I've experienced up to this point has just been preparation for D's Life - Part 2.  Which, of course, is just going to be that much more fabulous and that much more amazing! I know this because I follow the Path of Truth, which leads ever upward, and ever outward.
