Dominican Republic

So far sooo good ! 

My friend, I want to share one great discovery with you: the perfect fusion of taking a real vacation and doing something pretty positive in the same time.  
I am living it right now, in the hot month of June.
Little research brings fun facts! This month has an interesting origin: Juno was the Protector and special counsellor of the Roman state and queen of the gods, the patron goddess of Rome, also called Regina. Juno was a majestic figure, the protecting and guardian spirit of females; so the month of June was named after her. Fair enough! 

Why am I writing this? It is said that in this world everything is connected - and if not, we like connecting the dots anyway. 
And so I have arrived here on the ‘Magic Mountain’ on the 15th of Juno, when a relatively rare central lunar eclipse happened - this occurs only when the Sun, Earth (situated in the center) and Moon are exactly aligned. Great timing, good vibes! 

Uau, I've been in lots of different countries and now more than ever it feels like I came to the right place at the right time. I hope you are asking yourself why I make such a statement; my answer goes like this: it is what it is and there is no doubt about it, because when you know it you know it, and nothing and no one can say it is otherwise! 

I did not say it is a perfect place, nooo - it’s just a great place to work till you sweat like never before and then have loads of fun cooling off in the ocean. It works wonders. But do not take my word for it, see the facts, talk to the people, research and check the photos and videos while you’re at it.  


Hey, keep in mind that this life you live should not go to waste and you ought to do what’s best for you! Yet, if you are the considerate type and also care for the others, the reasonable thing is to ask them what they wish for...some need certain things more than others – thanks to genetic variations we are not all the same! The recipe may be slightly different yet the ingredients are pretty much the same: we all need air, food and love. Yep, nothing new - no one can survive without these, it was officially established way back in 1943. What else do we need? Sanitation, education, and healthcare – this is where the money part kicks in as we are part of a system. As we call ourselves superior human beings, we have other needs - apart from subsistence or survival - like protection, affection, understanding, participation, leisure, creation, identity and freedom. All these are not luxurious needs and if we are true and honest to ourselves we feel poor when we are deprived of them.
 


Thought or quote: 'You can never get enough of what you don't really need'
We have all these rights and benefits yet we are not genuinely happy. I have more than I need and I still feel that I do not have enough; yet I do nothing for those who have so little...  


 

Open your mind my friend and feel your heart beating to a brand new beat called love !
