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.”

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?

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Last night I had a great discussion with a friend who has read the manuscript of Have Your Heart’s Desire: Tools for a Happier, Healthier, Wealthier Life, one of my books which will be published soon. She said that she appreciated a story in that book because she now understood why we must refrain from holding onto anger. She had heard it before – that we need to release anger – but hadn’t understood why before. I felt happy that she had benefited from reading the manuscript because that had been my intent in writing the book – to share experiences that helped me with others with the hope of giving them inspiration to better their lives.
