My Maya expert friend Carl de Borhegyi, who I met during researching information for my book has discovered something new that I thought I'd share. I got this message from him today.
Hi Bonnie, I made an important discovery today in my research, that I know will interest you. The mural at Tulum in Structure 5, Temple of the Diving God, represents a version of a creation scene from Hindu mythology, known as The Churning of the Milk Ocean. I have found this same mythological scene of the Hindu creation myth in several pre-Columbian codices, as well as in a few Maya vase paintings. I first discovered the scene a few months ago on a carved ball court wall panel at the archaeological site of El Tajin, in Veracruz Mexico. This will be one of the true great discoveries in Mesoamerican archaeology. History will be rewritten because of this new information. So much for Columbus discovering America. For more on this discovery read, Soma in the Americas at mushroomstone.com and control F, the Churning of the Milk Ocean. I wish I had found this sooner for your book. — Carl de Borhegyi For more information on Carl and his exciting research and discoveries please visit his website at www.mushroomstone.com

My author/book release party on Saturday night was a success! It was held at Chevy's TexMex restaurant near the Mall of America. We had our own private room with our own wait staff. It was a small gathering, so that meant I had lots of time to spend with guests, but I still felt like I didn't spend enough time with everyone. Sometimes it's hard being the guest of honor. I took my camera with me, but barely picked up, and only sqeeked out 4 photos. I wish I would have handed it off to someone, but that was a complete afterthought. It was really great seeing everyone who could make it.
Chevy's has great Mexican food, so if you haven't been there, you should really go try it. It's my new favorite place. Tonight is my big night of my author/book release party. I'm so excited. It will be good to see all my good friends come out and support me. I'm keeping the event pretty small, I wanted to be able to have time for people and didn't want to feel overwhelmed and have people feel like they didn't get enough of my time. Sometimes it's hard being the guest of honor.
One thing to keep your guest list to a minimum is have a no-host event where everyone is responsible for their own tab. Right now I'm still on the list with the rest of the "starving artists" out there. I don't have much of a budget to go "all out". One nice thing about having a small gathering is that it keeps it real. No phonies there to blow b.s. in your face just because you hare having free food and drink. Everyone is your best friend when you are picking up the tab. |
