Stick together when its stomry

Mother Nature brought us a moody bluesy mixed with a hint of pretty in pink stormy kind of sunrise. Although the sun stayed hidden the soft light found a way through to give us hope for a new day.

The best color was at first light surrounded by huge storm clouds. The morning was full of drama with lightning and rain on their horizon.

Large waves churned toward the shore calling to the surfers to come play. A very chatty flock of gulls flew in with their wings and hearts open ready to get squeaky clean. They said, “Even when things are stormy, it’s important to stick together with hearts open.”

Bath time last an extra long time today. We enjoyed being close and intimate while getting the bugs off.

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Relax into the waves

With little breeze, the air was still and quiet until the chatty flock flew in for bath time. The almost new moon and Venus were bright in the pink sky before the sun came up.

The almost new moon brings us the energy of new beginnings and fresh starts.

This moon said, “If you have been feeling stuck or sluggish, not to worry, you have been laying the groundwork for what is coming. I am a powerful new moon, ushering in change and transformation on many levels.”

The waves and surfers added to the message. “When the waves feel big, take a deep breath, relax and roll with the current. It's going to work out.”

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Stay focused even when the goal is slippery

We started the morning with more pink rays filling the sky at first light. The sliver of a moon and Venus were bright in the sky giving us a powerful energy morning.

A cloud looked like the shape of a puppy but morphed into a shark or a fish…what do you see?

Surfers were coming from every nook and cranny to catch the beautiful waves as the very chatty flock flew in for an extended bath time. They were feeling feisty today breaking into a Top Gun kind of chase over a sushi breakfast.

At one point the lead gull dropped the fish and they all dove straight down in to the water. Another gull came up with the fish and flew by to show off his catch.

He said, “Even when you drop your goal or it seems slippery stay focused. Anything can happen to help you pick it up and run with again.”

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Momma Jade Almost Splashes the Camera

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Momma Jade Almost Splashes the Camera

On this day I was hanging out with Momma Jade and her second baby Opal. This is the second baby of hers I have met since 2019.

Jade is one of the dolphins I have spent the most time with. She often chases fish toward the camera and zooms close by on her way to catch a fish. She is a very affectionate mom. The first time I met her she was with the baby I call Ruby. Ruby was all over her momma giving kisses and snuggles.

Stay tuned for more tales!

Savor connections in all forms

Rays of pink light jetted toward the moon and Venus before the sun came up giving us a hopeful vibe for a new day.

Huge fluffy clouds covered the horizon giving us a fun morning for the cloud game. Sparkly transparent waves rolled toward shore filled with sunlight.

A calm ocean and beautiful color show added to the peaceful vibe. Pelican Highway was jamming in both directions. As the traffic flew over the surfers, they took a moment to connect bringing us the message of the day.

They said, “Connection comes in many forms. All connections are purposeful. It may last for a moment or a lifetime, no matter the time, we recommend soaking it up."

Wishing you a beautiful day with sweet connections!

Spontaneous fun to make a shift

Good Morning! I'm away from the sunrise to give a client an Ocean Float. www.drshelleylynch.com

I thought I'd share a sunset sushi party from a couple nights ago. Several dolphins popped in and out of the lagoon enjoying snacks, snuggles and play.

The fish were flying, the dolphins were engaging with both the camera and paddle boarder bringing the message of playful connections. They said, "Spontaneous fun can give you a smile which helps you feel happier!"

Wishing you a playful day friends!

Know when to come out and and when to take cover

Mother Nature used all the crayons in the box this morning to bring us an artsy kind of sunrise. Pink glow filled the sky before the sun came up to greet the day but eventually shifted to a breathtaking gold.

A soft breeze kept the temperature refreshing. Pelican Highway was jamming in both directions enjoying riding the waves with ease.

On the way off the beach I ran into in tortoise who was snacking on some greens. As we were chatting a wasp looking insect flew close to the tortoise as if saying hello. She didn’t like this and retreated into her shell for moment a safety.

She said, “I’m here to encourage you to come out of your shell to enjoy all the wonders of life. If you feel unsafe you can always return to the comfort of you shell until you are ready to come back out and play.”

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Dig Deep, you are stronger than you know

A pretty in pink and copper color show lit up the sky at first light. Venus was high in the sky when the flock of gulls flew in around her.

The flock reminds us to tap into the energy of Venus. They said, “Venus is the planet of love and beauty, join us in using her energy to keep your wings and hearts open soaking up all the beauty life has to offer.”

At the same, sharks of all sizes were in the shallows looking for breakfast. One of the larger sharks was a little stuck in the sand and shallow water, gave a nice kick to get herself free.

She said, “You are stronger than you know, dig deep to get yourself free of any obstacles. I also highly recommend going head first in to the waves, not to worry, you got this!”

Wishing you a beautiful day feeling strong!

Adapt to the shifts

With Venus on the horizon and Jupiter next to the moon, the energy felt full of vitality as my feet hit the sand. A nice breeze was blowing the tops of the waves as they rolled toward shore.

Surfers were already catching waves when I reached the edge of the ocean where the flock was waiting to get a bath.

While snapping their photos, a small shark swam by looking for breakfast. The shark said, “I’m here to remind you to move forward, use your sensitivity to know which way to swim. Oh and play in the waves, it’s fun!”

A red shouldered hawk flew overhead saying, “ Honor your visions, they are giving you important intel to know what to do next.”

And if that wasn’t enough a dragonfly who landed on my hand for a couple minutes brings the message of change and good luck. She said, “I’m here to encourage going with the flow of change. Allow yourself to adapt to the shifts of life, it will help you feel lighter and open to lucky happenings.”

And check out the surfer playing in the waves like a dolphin, he was having a blast.

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up~ Batman Returns

It was a another gorgeous start to the day with a soft breeze and waves sending salt spray into the air as they crashed toward shore.

A very chatty flock flew in from the south with wings and hearts open ready for our daily bath time to get squeaky clean.

The sun came up, kissing the ocean good bye for the day then hid behind a cloud to give us rays of light filling the air with a heart expanding vibe.

Surfers enjoying the waves bring us the message today. The art of surfing is really a way of life. Some days you are sitting on top of the world seeing everything clearly and other days well, the waves are tossing you.

“Surrender, go with it. Even when you fall, relax into it. Falling is all part of the experience.”

One of my favorite lines from Alfred the butler in the movie Batman Returns is, “Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.” Keep the faith, you got this!

Cuddles can lower stress

With a strong breeze, energetic Ocean and fluffy clouds the morning vibe felt like it was infused with power.  

A very chatty and large flock of gulls flew in early, having in place before heading to the ocean for bath time.  

The sun came up with 3 rays of light streaming into the sky filling the air with hope of a new day.  Clouds soaked up the array of colors while surfers caught waves in the sparkly waves.  

One Legger flew by saying, “Accept your perceived limitations by embracing your strengths so you can join me in flying to the moon!”  

After sunrise 2 turtles were cuddling in the shallow water of the Indian River.  They said, “A few moments of cuddling can lower your stress level and make you feel warm and fuzzy.  We highly recommend a moment of connection to create a shift.” 

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Tales from the Lagoon ~Episode - Getting to Know a New Dolphin Kiddo

Tales from the Lagoon ~Episode - Getting to Know a New Dolphin Kiddo

Yesterday a momma and her calf came into the lagoon and stayed for 3 hours. I’ve seen this momma before but this was the first time spending time with her calf.

For the first 45 minutes the baby stayed close to the mom. The little one would follow the mom while she grabbed fish, then they would rest and looked like they were nursing.

Momma came over and checked me out for a long while then after that the baby was free to roam and explore the lagoon. It was as if I was reunited with an old friend.

When Momma went to get fish, often the baby would stay close to me, I said to the mom I was happy to babysit.

At one point, the little one grabbed a mangrove seed and swam over close tossing it around showing off her/his personality. When 2 pelicans arrived the baby went to play with them which is always a hoot!

The baby swam under the pelicans giving them a little boop with his/her nose (rostrum) which made the pelicans fly a few feet away until the baby dolphin gave them another boop and the pelicans would fly a few feet away again. This went on for 30 minutes, until the pelicans left….they don’t love that game very much.

The ladies on the dock named this sweet pair. Mom is Nona and the baby is Nonni. I look forward to hanging out with them again.

And if that wasn't enough manatees were coming and going avoiding the boat traffic looking for a quiet place to smooch.

Stay tuned for more tales!

Baby Dolphin Comes to play

I had so much fun hanging with this baby and her mom for 3 hours today. At first the baby stayed close to the mom but an hour into our time together the baby started interacting with the camera. In this video the baby comes over with a mangrove seed tossing it around. It is loads of fun and it helps the baby practice for tossing fish in the future.

Stay focused and let go

I’m way from the sunrise today to give someone an individual float before the beach crowds arrive. Just a few weeks left to float this year. www.drshelleylynch.com

Here are a few sunrise photos from this week along with a message yesterdays ospreys. They said, “If you miss your goal don’t give up. Sometimes we dive several times before catching a fish.”

“The trick is to stay focused and let go of the outcome. We know we will grab our snack eventually, so we enjoy the dive. What fun it is to plunge into the water!”

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Stay focused when the goal is slippery

With wind whipping and cool temperatures the morning felt like fall was visiting for the day. Clouds hovered over the shore soaking up the light, giving us another cozy morning.

Amber light rained from the sun over the waves adding to the beauty. The chatty flock of gulls flew in early and hung in place courtesy of the wind.d

Spray from the ocean crashing against the jetty north of my location, beaconing me to come see. So much wildlife! A reddish egret danced through the shallows while Pelican Highway stopped for breakfast at a rest stop along with several osprey.

Big Red says, “ I bring the message of staying focused on your goal. Sometimes the goal may be a bit slippery but stay the course, you got this.”

Wishing you a beautiful day!

Make a wish!

A powerful and magical sunrise with the super blue moon setting as the sun came up to greet the day. With rain coming, a cloud ceiling hovered like a cozy blanket soaking up the color show.

Aladdin showed up in the clouds riding his magic carpet or surfboard reminding us to believe in making wishes.

Aladdin’s message went perfectly with the message from the blue moon! The blue moon is the closest moon to the earth in 2023. Full moons can amplify our emotions, so this super blue moon may feel like you are under a magnifying glass.

Not to worry, this moon is situated in the sky that will encourage empathy, intuition and a deeper spiritual connection. "I’m here to support you in knowing exactly what your heart desires, so go ahead and make a wish!”

Luna added, “You got this, I’m a reminder that you can dive into your emotions and come up for air with the goal you desire. Just follow your inner GPS.”

Wishing you a magical day friends!

Let Nature Inspire you

Holy mind altering sunrise!

Mother Nature brought us a 360 sunrise with every inch filled with an explosion of color. The reflections on the wet sand added to the feeling of being transported to another world.

Mother Nature said, “I’m here to inspire you with the beauty all around.”

Surfers came from every entrance to play in the waves with Pelican Highway flying overhead.

The flock of gulls flew in when it was still dark ready for bath time and a quick nap. One reflective gull said, "Rest is necessary to be prepared for the upcoming winds. Even just a couple minutes of chilling can help me feel restored.”

Wishing you a day filled with beauty!

Acceptance

It was truly a spectacular sunrise with amazing cloud shapes and expansive energy. A nice breeze kept the bugs away and seemed to make the flock a bit frisky.

The cloud game, finding shapes int he formations, was definitely the highlight. There was the shape of a person coming out of the clouds like Rocket man and a cloud in the shape of a person running along the horizon.

I had great photos of these clouds with my zoom but sadly the card failed between the beach my computer. The camera card brings the message of letting go of expectations, acceptance and going with the flow of life.

If you don’t know when the planet Mercury is in retrograde, It can bring electronic difficulties, travel delays and often bring up memories from the past. It’s a great time to revisit or redo things from the past.

Wishing you a beautiful day in the flow!
