Honoring at La Cabana resort

Recently, ATA representative Marouska Heyliger had the
great pleasure in honoring many loyal Aruba visitors with
their distinctive certificates.

These certificates are a way to say “Masha Danki” for
continuously choosing Aruba as a favorite vacation desti-
nation. The titles are as following: 10+ years “Distinguished
Visitor” and 20+ years “Goodwill Ambassador”. The hon-
orees are: Dennis and Victoria Johnson from Minnesota
as Distinguished Visitors. Kurt and Norma Schmoelz from
Quebec as Goodwill Ambassadors. The couples love
coming to the island for the weather, restaurants and lo-
cal food.q

Letting go

We here this phrase often, the two words that are loosely used to advice others on how
to tackle difficult situations or challenges that we may be facing. But what does ‘let-
ting go’ really mean? So many explanations have been expressed yet one isn’t clear of
what one needs to let go in order to overcome the sense of suffering being experienced.

When we let go we usually have to let go of a demand that we purchased on life. Sim-
ply means we tend to demand life, an impossible feat, to go a certain way. Demand
that a person should be a certain way or act differently or change. Or demand on a
situation that we race to go a certain way and not the way it may be going. Demand-
ing things or situations or people to be a certain way and not allowing them to be is
what we need to let go of. This letting go is an inner letting go, experienced within one
self. Doing so we allow things to be as they are and then one may notice the letting go
as inner peace arises.q

Suresh Mirchumal is a spiritual writer. “Well, you can categorize it like that, although
I don’t call myself one. These thoughts come in effortlessly.” His aim is in a way to
reach out to whoever gets inspired or has an eye opening event within them that
may transcend their current state of consciousness. “Or let’s say current emotional
state too. If one in a thousand benefits, that is already great.” Due to the current
world state, lots of struggles and stresses, we seem to lose touch with that inner
peace that we long for, Suresh explains. “I wish to ease that through these small
articles or tidbits.” You will find his tidbits in Aruba Today from now on, mostly on
Tuesdays and Thursdays.
