flying to honduras


She said: ‘Having not seen the rainbow with my naked eye, when I saw it in the shot I was stunned. At first I thought it was caused by the polarised plane window or jet fuel vapour.

The shot was taken over the Caribbean as Ms Rensen, from London, Ontario, flew to Honduras.

love, joy, and harmony

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.

a state of appreciation and gratitude

There is a difference between feeling gratitude and appreciation for something, and feeling attachment to something. Appreciation and gratitude are states of pure love, while attachment contains fear - fear of losing or not having what you are attached to. When it comes to something you want in your life, appreciation and gratitude attracts, and attachment pushes away. If you are feeling afraid that you will not get what you want, or losing what you have, then you have attachment.

To remove the attachment, keep shifting yourself into a state of appreciation and gratitude, until you can feel that the fear has gone.

you go, president obama!

Washington - The US jobs machine shifted into higher gear in September, pushing the unemployment rate down to the lowest level in six years. In a boost for President Barack Obama a month before midterm congressional elections, the Labor Department reported Friday that the economy pumped out 248,000 net new positions last month, sending the jobless rate to 5.9 percent.
- Yahoo News

Wow! I'm impressed. From The Great Recession ("likely the worst global recession since WWII") he inherited from Dick Cheney and Dubya to THIS! President Obama and his awesome economic team deserve recognition, gratitude, and hearty applause for a job well done.

save the arctic

The ocean covers two thirds of the planet, produces almost half of all the oxygen we breathe and sequesters more than a quarter of the CO2 we emit into the atmosphere. It is, in essence, the kidneys of our planet, keeping systems healthy, giving life -- and there is no way to put it on dialysis.

october rain


Right on schedule, this morning we had the first of the October rains. Historically, October has been one of our wettest months here in the Bay Islands. I've personally witnessed Octobers in which it has rained pretty much non-stop the entire month. These rains are critical to keeping the island green and replenishing Roatan's fresh water aquifer. During this month, we close the resort in order to do yearly maintenance work, and to allow our team members to take their well-deserved vacations. Paya Bay reopens November 1st. Note that we will continue to accept and process reservation requests during this time.
