surrender to the natural flow of life
Good Morning! The morning was brisk and gorgeous! Small fluffy clouds on the horizon soaked up the colors as the sun came up big and bold to greet the day.
Salt spray from the waves filled the air courtesy of the wind. A very loud and large flock of gulls flew in early using the wind to hang in place. One Legger, hook, Pixar and Peg led the flock.
After sunrise in the river a big blue heron flew in to grab breakfast in the cove. He said, “Sure the wind can be a lot, but I find relaxing my wings and go with the wind rather than against it makes my day easier. Instead of resisting, I find I can harness the energy by surrendering to the natural flow of life.”
Wishing you a beaufiul day friends!

Time for renewal
Mother Nature brought us a beautiful and chilly sunrise with a lovely color show. Before the sunrise a large purple cloud floated above the ocean. The cloud soaked up the ever changing color palette as the sun came up to greet the day.
The chat flock of gulls flew in to say hello and grab a bath. The golden sun came up large and beautiful filling the air with warmth.
In the shallow water of the river after sunrise I met a starfish. She brings us the message today. “I am here to remind you of your power to restore balance. Give yourself time for your mind, body and spirit to feel renewed. Just like my little legs feeling my way, you too can use your sensitivity to guide you toward restoring balance.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Sunshine and snuggles
It's overcast and quite chilly for sunny Florida so I thought Sunshine and Snuggles would be a nice way to start the day!

Be the beauty you want to see in the world
The pre-dawn sky stretched in soft hues of blue, tinged with delicate pink rays. A chilly southern breeze held steady, allowing the birds to hover effortlessly against the pastel backdrop.
As the sun peeked over the horizon, the morning ritual began, everyone was in the pool, getting squeaky clean. Wings flapped, sending ripples across the golden water, each movement shimmering in the new light.
They said, ”We bring the message of self-care. Not just to keep the bugs off and stay healthy, but for the ripples we create. When you feel good, you inspire others. And sometimes, the best way to help the world is to simply take care of yourself. Be the beauty you want to see in the world.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Look in unexpected places for success
Ahhhhh, a calm and gorgeous sunrise with so much wildlife. I was excited when I saw the tide pool, knowing bath time would be super fun.
Much to my surprise, an osprey saw a catfish in the tide pool and swooped down to each it with ease! She grabbed the fish, lifted up, gave herself a good shake before flying off for a private dining experience.
She brings us the message of creatively reaching our goal. She said, “Looking in the unexpected places can lead to abundance. I also highly recommend celebrating your wins, a victory shake or dance is a good way to enjoy each success, no matter the size.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Open to new beginnings of love, beauty and abundance
Mother Nature brought us an invigorating morning with a chilly breeze coming from the north. The crips air gave the sky an beautiful orange glow. As the sun came up the flock of gulls flew in to say good morning using the breeze to hang in place.
Despite the chilly weather, the flock took time to get squeaky clean letting the waves wash the bugs away. A large, almost white herring gull joined the flock for bath time.
Last night as the sun was setting the moon and Venus were close together. The moon is at the start of its monthly cycle and Venus is the planet of love, beauty and abundance. The two together bring us the energy of fresh starts with Venus infused gifts.
Wishing you a beautiful day filled with love and beauty.

Embrace your uniqueness, it’s your super power
While waiting of the sunrise waves of warm then waves of cold air floated by. The gulls flew in hot and loud using the salty breeze to hang in place. The moon show is from last night, as it set with the sun.
The color show started off with sweet pastels morphing to deep gold and red swirls filling the horizon.
While getting squeaky clean, simmers flew by dragging their beak grabbing breakfast. They said, “We are unique in how we feed. We are a reminder to embrace your uniqueness, it’s your super power.”
Wishing you a beautiful day!
Soak up the possibilities
What a wonderful way to begin the new year, bathed in the energy of a new moon and a breathtaking sunrise. The promise of a fresh start lingers in the air, ready to be embraced.
As I stood soaking in the beauty, Pixar, One Legger, and Hook arrived with the flock, gracefully hanging in place with their wings and hearts wide open, greeting the day.
They said, ”Use the energy of the new moon and New Year's Day to set your intentions for the year. Imagine the many possibilities! Then soak up the energy of those options, letting them become a part of you, guiding into the 2025."
Wishing you all a very 2025!

Leave behind the old feathers, making room for new
Yippppeeeeee! The sun made a brief appearance this morning, bringing us a beautiful sunrise before a soft layer of fog rolled in, wrapping everything in a cozy embrace.
The beach was alive with activity—so many birds! Laughing gulls, ruddy turnstones, sandpipers, skimmers, and red knots gathered together. It was bath time, and the shallow water was bustling with action as the birds splashed in the water, preening and cleaning, preparing for what’s to come.
They bring us a message to close out the year: “Use today to let go. Reflect on the learning and growth of 2024. Leave behind the old feathers you no longer need, making room for new growth and experiences.”
Wishing you a safe and happy New Year's Eve.
Stay open even when you fall
Good Morning! It's another grey and white sunrise with thick fog. I thought a few colorful surfing photos would be a fun way to start a Monday. The last photo is one of my favorite dismounts...stay open even when you fall.

Trust your instincts as you step into 2025
This morning, the sunrise was painted in 100 shades of grey, mingled with moody blues and spitting rain. The scene felt like a perfect prelude to tomorrow's black new moon—a rare event marking the second new moon in December.
The energy of a new moon extends three days before and after its arrival, offering an invitation for fresh starts and new beginnings.
This particular black moon, positioned uniquely in the sky, encourages a grounded perspective asking us to be level headed as we reflect on 2024 and set intentions for 2025.
The man in the moon shared this wisdom, ”Like the turtle hatchling, trust your instincts, step into the new year with courage and focus. By listening to your inner knowing, you can accomplish anything you set your heart on."
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Life is like the weather, wait and it will change
Rain drops keep falling on my head.....with fog, clouds and rain it was a wet start to the day. The clouds were quite dramatic. At one point it looked like a giant eye in the dark cloud, can you see it?
A chatty flock of laughing gulls along with a couple ring-billed gulls flew in to connect and say hello.
Mother Nature brings us the message of change. "Life is like the weather, just wait and it will change."
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Collaborate to thrive
A soft layer of fog and wall of fluffy clouds kept the morning feeling cozy. As the sun came up, various colors sparkles across the white waves adding to the beauty of the day.
The laughing gull flock was huge and loud, joined by a flock of red knots.
The red knots were digging for breakfast together reminding us the power of collaboration. They said, “Teamwork is how we thrive. We fly in unison, walk as one and grab snacks together. We know our strength comes from our numbers.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
