A great inspirational quote about the power of love

“By the accident of fortune a man may rule the world for a time, but by virtue of love he may rule the world forever.” – Lao Tse

By Air, by Sea or by Tour Group . . .

I was just thinking. The back cover description of Yucatan Travel Movie also needs something like:

“Whether you arrive in the Yucatan by flying into Cancun, as part of a tour group, or on a cruise ship, the Yucatan Travel Movie will show you what to expect when you get there.”

Revised copy for Yucatan Travel Movie DVD

How about this revision of yesterday’s idea for the copy on the back cover of the Yucatan Travel Movie DVD:

“Join Miriam Balsley as she shops for colorful crafts with her Mom and Step-dad and explores sacred ground where shamans still perform traditional ceremonies.”

I like this one better. What do you think?

Yucatan Travel Movie DVD

Today I’m mulling over back cover copy for the DVD case of the Yucatan Travel Movie. How does this sound?

“Join narrator Miriam Balsley, and her Mom and Step-dad, in this entertaining . . . occasionally amusing . . . tour of the Yucatan, a magical land full of beauty, mystery, and vacation delight.”

Inspiration and Rejuvenation in Nature

Today, in the midst of a busy day, I took the time to rest outside on a lawn chair and watch the breeze float through the leaves overhead. I felt happy in that half hour or so, when the heat of the day gave way to the approaching evening, and I was reminded of the Edgar Cayce quote from his trance reading 3374-1:

“. . . keep close to all of those things that have to do with outdoor activities, for it is the best way to keep yourself young-to stay close to nature. . .”

I felt delightfully rejuvenated.

Atlanteans in Yucatan

Based on my past life regression sessions on the lost city of Atlantis and my travels in Yucatan, Mexico,there are indications in Mayan ruins that Atlanteans came to Yucatan. You can read about my past life memories and my Yucatan travel experiences in my book When We Were Gods by Carole Chapman.

Inspirational Food Quote from George Santayana

Here’s another delightful inspirational quote from the menu of the Japanese restaurant. It’s by George Santayana, an American philosopher and poet. He was born Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás on December 16, 1863 in Avila, Spain, and died in the U.S. in 1950 at the age of 88.

“There is nothing to which men, while they have food and drink, cannot reconcile themselves.”

I find this quote less amusing that yesterday’s George Bernard Shaw quote and more thought provoking.

Inspirational Food Quote from George Bernard Shaw

While having lunch at a great Japanese restaurant with friends and family, I was delighted and amused to discover this great inspirational quote from the English playwrite George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) on their menu:

“There is no love sincerer than the love of food”

As we savored sushi and terriyaki, I had to agree!

Maya Riviera a Popular Vacation Spot

At a get together last night, someone mentioned the Maya Riviera and everyone knew what she meant. When I think that Cancun didn’t even exist in 1974, it is amazing how popular vacations on the Yucatan Caribbean are today. I felt happy because the Yucatan Travel Movie is a great introduction to Cancun and the Maya Riviera.

Composer Delighted with Yucatan Travel Movie

I am happy to say that feedback from Bill Head, composer and musician who allowed me to use his song, Blue Line, in the Yucatan Travel Movie, was enthusiastic after viewing an advance copy of the movie. Bill is also in the band Headband.
