It is my destiny to stay the course
Before I reached the beach, I could see a heart shaped opening in the sky that instantly helped me relax and breathe deeper.
A larger and very chatty flock of gulls flew in with their wings open ready to start the day.
A sweet couple with 2 small children were enjoying the sunrise too! They let me know there was a baby turtle!
Thank you Emily and your family for letting me know about the turtle and taking time to babysit the little nugget to ensure the birds didn’t snatch him up.
The little hatchling was doing his best to make it the ocean. It appeared his brothers and sisters already left. The waves were powerful and kept sending him backwards with multiple flips and turns.
The New Smyrna Beach Turtle Trackers stopped to assess the little nugget and determined he needed a day to rest before heading out again so they took him to monitor and keep him safe.
Before he left he said, “My journey is one of perseverance. It is my inner knowing that tells me that even though I am tiny and the world looks so big, I am powerful and strong. It is my destiny to stay the course. Despite many obstacles, I will swim at least 30 miles to the sargassum seaweed where I can rest.”
Wishing you a day embodying your inner turtle.

A little nugget in a big world
Big push up
