Acquaintances can be found everywhere. But real friends are like diamonds. Pressure and time creates them. They are the angels that guide us through this life while sharing good moments with us. Happy birthday to one of our real good friends, Febe! May your life be filled with joy and laughter, peace and prosperity, beauty and so much grace!

What is island life for me?
By: Ana Petines

It's more than one thing.

It's the sound of the waves as they crash into the shore. It's the breeze that blows through my hair. It's the feeling of jumping into the water with a full set of scuba gear. It's about floating and sinking down into the sea, all at the same time. It's the feeling of the water's currents with varying temperatures dancing on my skin. It's the silence that surrounds me, while I make my way through the depths of the ocean, several meters deep. Where the only sound I can hear is the bubbles I make as I exhale through my regulator. It's the majesty of the reef wall that makes me feel so small amidst the massiveness of its landscape. It's the creatures of varying shapes, sizes, and colors that look so alien and different. It's the fawn and flora underwater that sways with the current or sits absolutely still without it. It’s colors and patterns that I would never have seen on land. It's the privilege of visiting a world that was not made for you and your kind.

It's the footprints you leave on the shore as you walk on the beach. It's the blue skies with white clouds that pepper it. It's a laid-back scene where you can sit idly by and breathe in life. It's the difference in pace that I could never get in the city.

It’s about the simple joys of life. The small gatherings by the beach with just a bottle of Tanduay and coke, or a few bottles of beer. It’s the stupid jokes and quirky dances. It’s the camaraderie and friendships that are built on the simple foundations of human relationships.

It's the melting pot of cultures and varied points of view. It’s the opportunity to meet people you never would have thought of meeting.

It's the simple things really, the beach, the sun, the waves and every now and then the colors of rainbows you never knew existed.

Island life for me is all about being in a space where you are given the chance to simply live and exist.

“Heal yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon. With the sound of the river and the waterfall. With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds. Heal yourself with mint, neem, and eucalyptus. Sweeten with lavender, rosemary, and chamomile. Hug yourself with the cocoa bean and a hint of cinnamon. Put love in tea instead of sugar and drink it looking at the stars. Heal yourself with the kisses that the wind gives you and the hugs of the rain. Stand strong with your bare feet on the ground and with everything that comes from it. Be smarter every day by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with your forehead. Jump, dance, sing, so that you live happier. Heal yourself, with beautiful love, and always remember ... you are the medicine.”
~María Sabina, Mexican healer and poet.
