Shortly after winning the Vacation Sweepstakes to Chaa Creek in August, I was able not only to meet Dr. Rosita Arvigo, I was also lucky enough to be her ‘assistant’ at a Herbal Conference at Breitenbush in Portland, Oregon!
I must say that I was fascinated about Dr. Arvigo just from reading about her life & her work, but meeting her and spending time with her was truly a life changing experience…
I am now working at an environmentally and socially conscious locally owned neighborhood Market (1 of 7). The Owners have a strong ethic towards sustainability earning them several awards for their commitment to the community & the Earth.
I get to work with organically grown products, amazing chocolate, eggs, and glorious cream, creating decadent desserts (my first & foremost passion!) I have been making organic spa products as well. One of these products is a Maya inspired dark chocolate Bentonite body treatment scented with almond & sweet orange essential oils.The spa products are my attempt to meld my love for baking with my new found passion in Massage & Healing.
And, Now at last, I can begin planning my highly anticipated vacation to relax among the sounds of the birds, the call of the monkeys, visit Mayan ruins, and enjoy amazing food.
Thank you Chaa Creek for inspiring me to believe in my dreams… Where they may lead I do not know… It is the calm after the storm… And I am ready to immerse myself into the waters of the Macal River & perhaps I will emerge in the Caribbean Sea…

Happy New Year 2011
