herb and vegetable garden 2.0

We are currently putting lots of energy into the resort's herb and vegetable garden using a novel approach. We're taking old, discarded tires (notorious breeding grounds for mosquitos), flipping them inside out, and turning them into large planters in which we'll grow herbs and any vegetables that can prosper in our tropical climate. The planters are elevated off the ground so the land crabs can't get into them.

Paya Bay Resort, Roatan, Bay Islands of Honduras.

Unknown said...: So happy that you will be gardening herbs & veggies as I suggested this to your Mom Lorleen on my 1st stay at P Bay in 2014. When I went back in Dec 2016 I noticed that the back garden was still stagnant & asked your mom about this.
Bravo Da Vinvi for your initiative to produce what you need for the resort.
Can't wait to see your progress when we go back.....

• 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.
