quote of the day
We are evolving from a species that pursues external power into a species that pursues Authentic Power...
Authentic power has its roots in the deepest source of our being.
An authentically empowered person is incapable of making anyone or anything a victim.
An authentically empowered person is one who is so strong, so empowered, that the idea of using force against another is not a part of his or her consciousness.
- Gary Zukav
trauma?
Cal Mostella, I'm afraid the "birthday revue" may have caused some trauma. Now I keep seeing these things EVERYWHERE!

Paya Bay in all its natural beauty and splendor. I asked Williams, the photographer, to try to capture "the spirit" of Paya in this photo shoot. In many ways his talent and skill surpassed my expectations. Click on the image to see a larger version.

"hurricane" atlanta (cont)
Next, the Birthday Group took off for an overnight trip to Pigeon Cay!
Everyone boards the Kiton at Paya Bay's dock...
... and there's lots of excitement in the air about the adventure ahead. There was also perhaps a bit of apprehension regarding the overnight aspect of this trip (no one knew what quite to expect with this wild idea of spending the night on a small uninhabited Caribbean cay).
After arriving at the cay, "sleeping camp" was set up under the trees on the breezy eastern end...
... and a "beach bar" set up about mid-cay.
A beautiful afternoon of snorkeling and exploring slowly turned into a beautiful sunset. The feeling of having this beautiful little cay all to yourself is hard to describe.
When darkness falls, things really ramp up. A roaring bonfire lights a beach party that runs late into the night!
Good times, good times! Love, love, love!

"hurricane" atlanta
Readers who follow this blog must be wondering why I've not posted hardly at all this past week. The reason is simple: I've been too busy to blog! I had a large group of friends come in from Atlanta and Phoenix to celebrate the birthdays of three of us who are turning 40 this year. As my friend Scott Hayes of Atlanta aptly put it, it was as if "hurricane Atlanta" hit Roatan!
There was a big welcome sign for the boys as they exited customs at Roatan International.
Highlights of the visit included the mangrove canal tour in Oak Ridge/Jonesville.
A crazy show the Atlanta birthday boys put on for everyone's entertainment!
As well as awesome dinners at Paya.

gratitude
Begin your day by feeling grateful. Be grateful for the bed you just slept in, the roof over your head, the carpet or floor under your feet, the running water, the soap, your shower, your toothbrush, your clothes, your shoes, the refrigerator that keeps your food cold, the car that you drive, your job, your friends. Be grateful for the stores that make it so easy to buy the things you need, the restaurants, the utilities, services, and electrical appliances that make your life effortless. Be grateful for the magazines and the books that you read. Be grateful for the chair that you sit on, and the pavement that you walk on. Be grateful for the weather, the sun, the sky, the birds, the trees, the grass, the rain, and the flowers.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
