Your authenticity lights the way

A breathtaking pink glow filled the sky about 30 minutes before sunrise. As the sun inched closer to rising from behind the clouds, the color softened into a muted golden glow.

The flock of laughing gulls was joined by herring gulls, royal terns, skimmers, and even a couple of black ring-billed gulls, creating a beautiful gathering on the beach.

Skimmers are cool birds. When they vocalize, they sound like little dogs barking, and they hunt by dragging their lower beak through the water, skillfully scooping up fish as they glide along the surface.

One skimmer resting quietly among the flock said, “It’s okay to stand out in a crowd. Be your unique self among others. Your authenticity is not meant to blend in—it’s meant to quietly light the way.”

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
