Celebrate the everyday tasks
With nippy wind coming from the night and golden sunbeams catching the waves the sunrise was dramatic and gorgeous wintry sunrise.
The flock flew in from the south at their usual time, using the wind to hang in place and connect. One legger came in close enough to bump the camera and give a little kiss.
Two of the other gulls getting squeaky clean gave us a touchdown pose reminding us to celebrate the mundane. They said, “Celebrating the everyday tasks makes life more fun.”
When the sun came up, gold light streamed though the clouds shining a light on the waves. Mother Nature said, “Enjoy the waves of life. It’s true, sometimes the waves feel like they keep coming but not to worry, calmer waters are on the way.”
One legger said, “Keep the faith, you are stronger than you think.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
I love you

Keep your chin up
Mother Nature used fog and clouds to give us a cozy and dark, moody blues kind of sunrise. A couple of surfers were out at first light enjoying get stillness of the morning.
One of the surfers with the channel marker brings us the message of looking for the signs along the way to guide you. When It’s foggy, stretch your shoulder back and let your heart feel the way.
The flock was very chatty and let me get down low with them. They said, “We encourage keeping your beak up. Just one of us can set off a chain reaction to inspire keeping your chin up. Keep the faith, whatever is on your mind will work out.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Shoulder bac, heart open, lead with your heart
New starts in love, beauty and abundance
Ahhhhh, with a layer of warm salty fog the morning felt like a soft place to land and relax. Big fluffy clouds helps the sun with care as they raised it up to greet the day bringing golden rays of light.
The almost new moon (December 12) was in conversation with Venus in the pre dawn sky. The energy of a new moon brings new beginnings. With Venus near by the 2 ask us to let go of anything in the way of fresh starts with love, beauty and abundance.
They said, “Use our power to release any blocks and open your heart to sweet fresh starts.”
An egret flew in, walked right over to hang out and enjoy the sunrise. She said, “I’m a reminder to be open to spontaneous new connections. You never know when a new person or opportunity can pop in, ushering in new experiences.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Use the waves of life to motivate you
With warmer temperatures and a light breeze, the morning was extra soothing, you know the kind that makes you feel peaceful and easy on the inside.
The chatty and loud flock flew in at their usual time to say hello and get squeaky clean. When a bike rode by they spooked and flew in front of the sun in close formation encouraging us to stick together for comfort.
They said, “We flock together for lots of reasons but one is we feel safer together. Closeness helps us feel secure and protected.”
Ruddy Tootie, a ruddy turnstone zipped by with a pep in her step saying, “Use the waves coming toward you to motivate you. Sure they can be fast and daunting but you are strong and powerful and more resilient than you know.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Hanging with Momma Jade and Baby Opal
Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Hanging with Momma Jade and Baby Opal
This is how relaxing a day with Momma Jade and her baby Opal can be. Eddy the pelican and a mature pelican were hanging out too, hoping Jade would toss them a fish. There was a lot of noise this day so I switched to relaxing music to cover up the construction noise. Stay tuned for more tales!

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Momma, Can I Meet Your Baby?
Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Momma, Can I Meet Your Baby?
If you are just tuning in, over the past 5 years I have met so many wonderful dolphin friends. Momma Jade was the second Mom dolphin I got to know in 2019. I will always remember the day I met Baby Ruby.
It was a beautiful day in April when I said, “Hey Momma! Can I meet you baby?” A couple minutes later, Momma Jade come to grab a fish on my left about 6 feet away. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something else….it was baby Ruby who popped up, landed on her mom and they swam by! I squealed with excitement.
As you can see baby Ruby is super cute and expressive. She and her mom were inseparable, always hugging and kissing, rolling around on each other sharing the love.
When Momma Jade showed up with another baby in 2022, I said it again, “Momma, Cana I meet your baby?” She and Baby Opal were in front of me when Momma emerged from under water with little Opal on her back, introducing us. Another squealing moment for sure.
Stay tuned for more tales!

Celebrate your wins, both big and small
Mother Nature brought us a light streaming, heart opening, gorgeous sunrise. Waves churned toward shore soaking up the raining golden beams while pelican highway flew northbound.
The chatty and large flock flew in early when it was still dark. We took in the beautiful sunrise together while getting squeaky clean.
The clouds were layered like a cake soaking up the light. At one point it looked like a pair of golden eyes peered through adding to the powerful vibe.
While we were watching the drama unfold, an osprey came flying down the beach screeching and carrying a massive fish. She was very proud of her catch saying, “ I highly recommend celebrating your wins, both large and small. You never know who you might inspire.”
Wishing you a beautiful day feeling inspired!
Be in the moment ready to fly
With crisp air and cool temperatures, the flock was extra frisky this morning when they flew in for bath time. Swirly clouds and low tide added to the beauty and serene vibe.
2 reddish egrets dropped in to enjoy the sunrise. One of them walking slowly said, “I highly recommend slowing down, one step at a time to soak in the moment.”
A solo pelican and sailboat on the horizon added to the message reminding us to go with the flow. Just like the wind carries us, let the energy transport you on your path. If there is a lull in the flow, follow the advice of the egret and be in the moment ready to fly when the time arrives.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Loving yourself sends out ripples to inspire others
As soon as my feet hit the sand my body relaxed seeing the vast beautiful sky filled with pink and purple clouds over the calm ocean. Low tide brought us a reflective and serene vibe to start the day.
The very chatty flock flew in for our usual bath time. One of the gulls was getting squeaky which sent out ripples in the water. At first, just one gull joined in, then another and soon a bunch of gulls were flapping in the water sending out a huge ripple circle.
They said, “We highly recommend inspiring others by taking care of yourself. You see, loving yourself sends out waves to others. Your love ripples can motivate someone else.”
After sunrise a high speed chase ensued over a little fish. Several birds chased the one bird with the golden morsel. The initial bird dropped the fish bringing us another message.
She said, “It’s true, sometimes the goal may seem elusive or slip away. Not to worry, if it yours to have, it will return or something even better will show up.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Trust in the timing
Ahhhhhh, Mother Nature brought us a sweet and salty reflective sunrise. First light brought us a pink and purple color show that slowly morphed into a mix of gold and grey.
The flock flew in when it was still dark and stayed until the sun came up. A couple of gulls doing their daily self care said, “Remember pulling out the old feathers makes room for the new. Just the smallest removal can create the shift you are looking for.”
Several sailboats and surfers were enjoying the calm morning. Both sailing and surfing remind us to go with the flow of the energy. The sweet spot of momentum comes from the alignment of the waves of wind. Trust in the timing, everything is working out.
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Squawking releases stress
With heavy fog mixed with clouds, the morning was dark and cozy. The sun stayed hidden giving us one of these sunrises that feels snuggly.
A very chatty flock of gulls flew in with Buddy the herring gull leading the pack. He was very chatty, throwing his head back with his beak straight up in the air. He said, “When I am flustered it helps me to squawk. You see, squawking is a great way to let out my tension and stress.”
After sunrise a couple dolphins were hugging, bringing the message of physical touch to improve your mood. They said, “We hug a lot because we know just a little touch can enhance our mood.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Stay optimistic despite the fog
With a soft layer of fog enveloping the shoreline, the morning felt like a gentle ballet of serenity. First light was almost black and white before a sweet pastel color palette arrived.
Just before the sunrise a pink rainbow appeared to the west. The fog and rainbow bring us a combo message. The fog reminds us it is just temporary. When things feel hazy, take a step back to see the big picture. Eventually the sunlight burns through and brings us clarity.
The rainbow encourages us to stay optimistic especially when things are the most murky. The rainbow says,”Stay hopeful, hold strong to your heart’s desires because I am using in new beginnings and abundance for you.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Recharge with stillness and self love
Ooooh, ahhhhhh, Mother Nature used all the crayons in the box this morning! Ribbon shaped clouds soaked up the beauty adding to the heart opening sunrise.
The flock of laughing gulls and herring gulls flew in at their usual time to enjoy bath time. They bring the message of how just a moment of connection can create a shift.
Little Piper and her friend bring us the message of knowing when to scurry and when to stop and give yourself a kiss. She said, “I’m a very fast bird both on my feet and and in the air. I have learned to slow down for for and self care. You see loving your reflection is a great way to boost your confidence.”
After sunrise a blue heron was at the river soaking up the moment. He said, “I highly recommend a little quiet time. Quiet stillness is my way to fill up my battery.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Big Blue taking a moment
Let your heart guide you
It was a bit chilly for sunny Florida bringing us a crisp blue sky. The full moon was high in the sky as the golden sun came up surrounded by swirls clouds.
A very chatty flock flew in for bath time just as the sun was coming up. The water was warm compared to the cool air. The remind us of the importance of self care and getting squeaky clean every day to keep the bugs off.
I was pretty excited to see a immature bald eagle flying overhead brining with it the message for the day.
He said, “I’m here to remind you to go inward, connecting to your heart. Your heart will guide you toward your passion, visions and desires. Soar above any problems to get the birds eye view, trust you will know when to swoop in and grab any opportunities.”

Harness the energy of the moon
WOWIE! What a gorgeous and powerful morning Mother Nature brought us with the full moon setting as the sun came up to greet the day.
The flock was quite chatty and gorgeous as they flew in with a stunning pink background.
The moon was bright in the sky despite having clouds all around. The moon said, “Even when I am hidden by the clouds I am quite powerful. I am here to encourage you to dig deeper to learn more about yourself. Harness my energy to bring you epiphanies and new awareness giving you more confidence to move forward.”
An osprey checking out her shadow added to the message saying, “Let the full moon illuminate your shadow side. Trust me, when I say it is a beautiful part of you, embrace it. You see, the more you love your shadow, the happier you will feel.”
Wishing you a day filled with love!

Good morning! I'm away from the sunrise today, hope to be back tomorrow. Wishing you a day where things align with ease and the timing works out just right.
Have a wonderful day friends!
Life is good
Mother Nature brought us a moody bluesy kind of cozy morning with layered fluffy clouds that felt like a warm and snuggly blanket.
Pelican Highway was high in the thermals enjoying floating around in circles while the ocean churned waves toward shore.
The flock of gulls flew looking for a place to take a load off and enjoy the morning. They took turns resting on a rock sitting on a pole and on the head of a beach walker.
One of the gulls was quite chatty saying, “Remember, life is good. Sure it can be bumpy at times but in the end we know it is beautiful especially when we have a sweet spot to rest.”
They took turns standing on the rock reminding us to get grounded. They said, “Standing on the rock helps us feel solid. The sensation of the rock encourages our body to relax and center in the moment.”
Wishing you a cozy day friends!
