Dear TAO Friends & Family
It is always a pleasure to greet you each month. I would like to wish you all the best in your personal and professional endeavors.We are starting a month dedicated to honoring mothers, and all the ways they nurture and mold their children and future generations. We wish all the happiness and joy to the mothers of our community, and give thanks for their invaluable work and guidance.I hope the start of this month will be a beautiful time, with lots of good energy and relaxation as we get ready to enjoy the summer.
Here in the Riviera Maya the month of May is one of the busier months of the year, with a plethora of festivals and events. It seems like students barely set foot in school this month, with labor day falling on the first of the month, then Cinco de Mayo, Mother's Day, and Teacher's Day following in quick succession. There's no shortage of cultural festivals either, so you won't run out of things to do this month!
My quote of the month:
Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love.
- Stevie Wonder

Hello all,
This upcoming month of May will bring many amazing things. We are currently going through some transition phases at TAO. Sadly Darren will be leaving, and I know he has fostered some amazing bonds here at the TAO Inspired Living Community. As we work to create some new community events, I hope you can still enjoy the daily yoga sessions, and keep your eyes open for some new upcoming classes, events, and community gatherings. The people I have met at TAO Community have been amazing thus far, and have made my personal transition to the area easier and much brighter. Looking forward to meet you all!

LOCAL NEWS:
Caribbean Colors
Barry Launius, affectionately known as Popeye, is originally from Jefferson City, MO. He lives in Puerto Morelos with his wife of 30 years, Phyllis, their dog, Charlie, and two cats. I first met Barry and Phyllis, when they and I were still tourists here back in 2007 or so. With his slow Missouri drawl and his laid back style, you could listen to him tell stories forever. I was fortunate enough to spend the better part of the morning with Barry and Phyllis at their home catching up and finding out more about Barry’s favorite form of therapy – painting.
