Power of community

The sand was still wet and cool from the rain last night. The breeze was light with a calm ocean giving us a gentle sunrise. As the sun came up, it looked like pink heat waves

Pelican Highway traffic was heavy flying southbound before the sunrise. They lined up perfectly bringing the message of solidarity. They said, “As we energetically connect our feathers, we fly as one. The power of the group gives us power to fly further, companionship and safety. We encourage coming together to make the journey a little sweeter.”

The flock of seagulls flew in fast and furious agreeing with the pelicans saying, “We flock together because we know the power of community.”

As if on cue, as the sun came up they headed into the water for bath time. One little nugget looked right at me, melted my heart, and said, “Come with me, let the waves caress your feathers, together we can let go of the pain, supporting each other to make space for more joy.”

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Jump for joy!

Mother Nature brought us a gorgeous color show highlighting her pink and purple palette. The color show and soft light shimmering on the calm ocean was breathtaking. The breeze was light creating beautiful texture on the waves as they rolled in.

Loads of fish were jumping past the waves. As I was trying to capture the fish popping like popcorn I thought a dolphin would pop up but much to my surprise a shark jumped out of the water.

The shark brings the message again today.

She said, “I liked being the messenger so much yesterday I wanted to add to it. “Yes! Seize the moment and be spontaneous. Jump for joy, color outside the lines, dance and like no-one is watching. Go ahead and jump because it’s fun!”

And if that wasn’t enough, One Legger the Seagull is back from her travels!! I’d know her anywhere, she circles the flock like she is Amelia Earhart and a NASCAR driver all rolled into one.

She looks healthy and strong, and reminds time has no boundaries on relationships. Even though she’s been way for a few months, we picked up right where we left off.

Wishing you a happy day friends!

Seize the moment!

As I walked to the beach I could see the blue cone of light jetting high in the sky illuminating the sliver of a new moon. The breeze was refreshing with a slight hint of fall.

Before the sun came up several sharks were grabbing snacks in the shallows. One was a bit aggressive as he chased a fish in the waves.

The shark said, “Sometimes it’s necessary to show you are a powerful being and use your passion to seize the moment! Follow your heart and grab your dreams.”

He went on to say, “This new moon is accentuating our daily routine and priorities. Use the energy to get your ducks in a row, channel the best version of yourself and propel you forward toward your goals.”

The flock of seagulls came in looking beautiful as always. One was plucking out old feathers while taking a bath. She said, “I know it can be a little painful to pluck out those old feathers we no longer need, but when you let them go, you’ll feel lighter. Remember, you are making room for new feathers!”

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Shake it Up

The breeze was blowing, the ocean was churning while dramatic clouds filled the sky. The energy was lively and invigorating. The almost new moon was high in the sky surrounded by a sweet and soft pink before sunrise.

Even though the current was very strong the flock of seagulls enjoy some much needed bath time, letting the water wash away the bugs. They were in the mood to be close and connect with eye contact. They said, “Eye contact is a great way to share yourself with others. It’s a way to exchange energy, love and information.”

After sunrise Skylar the osprey flew off her perch, cruised by and gave herself a really big shake. She said, “Dogs and birds know the power of a good shake. It moves built up stress and tension and as you can see gives everything a different perspective. It’s good to shake things up and see how things unfold.”

Wishing you a groovy day friends!

Savor the moment

Mother Nature brought us a very serene pretty in pink and lavender sunrise. The ocean was calm like a lake with the exception of perfect waves. The light stayed low and shimmery like a soft blanket resting on the water.

The beauty and light in the waves held me captive, I wanted to stay all day. Thank you to the lifeguard who hung out while I was playing in the waves. I appreciate the support and care.

With the stillness so palpable, when the birds started showing up their lively energy felt invigorating. The flock of seagulls and egrets came in to chat and grab breakfast.

Our message today comes from the egret, fish and the waves. They remind us of timing and savoring the moment. The waves frozen in time encourage us to slow down and soak up each moment and all it has to offer.

As the fish managed to get away from the egret she said, “Timing is everything, I waited for the right moment and made my escape. I trust my instincts to tell me when to seize the opportunity. You can trust yourself to know when to take action too!"

Wishing you a day filled with beautiful moments!

Your Attention energizes

Mother Nature brought us a cozy and romantic sunrise. It felt extra sweet and soft, like she was trying to offset the hard edges of life. As I walked to the beach I could feel then almost new moon coming in and out of the fluffy clouds. Just the edge of it was catching the light.

The almost new moon brings us one of our messages today. New moons are about fresh and new starts and a great time to manifest your hearts desire. This particular new moon encourages us to let go of anything holding us back. By letting go of the old we can have a greater sense of stability.

Hook the seagull and Skylar the resident osprey, flew in this morning to share a message of strength. They both have a wounded foot but continue to inspire me with their resilience. They said, “We bring the message of focusing on your strengths. You have multiple abilities, put your attention on those. Remember where your attention goes energizes those thoughts.

The seagull with his wings together said, “Not to worry about being perfect, out your feathers together and set the intention for you want. Your intention inspires while and attention energizes.”

Wishing you happy manifesting!

stretch past your comfort zone

Mother Nature was just showing off this morning using the Sahara Dust and clouds to give us a heart opening, romantic feeling kind of sunrise. The reflective pink and buttery golden color show literally took my breath away.

The breeze was slightly cooler with a hint of fall in it. Seagull Street was packed! They came flying in with several egrets with their wings open like they were ready for hugs. They bring the message of community. Flocking together for comfort, teamwork and love.

Hook the seagull and friends were very happy flying around like they were celebrating the cool weather. When Hook flew by he stretched his neck saying, “Go ahead, stretch a little past what you think you can do. Reach for your goal, you got this.”

And if that wasn’t enough a dragonfly buzzed past my ear saying, I bring the message of change, transformation and being adaptable.

Putting it all together, “Stretch past your comfort zone, adapting and and being open to transformation for success. Lean on your flock for support when it feels challenging.”

Have an amazing day friends!

Reach just a little past your comfort zone

teamwork creates more strength

It was a stunner of a sunrise starting with a magnificent pretty in a pink pre sunrise. The clouds looked like soft sweet ribbons flowing in the sky.

So many angels in the clouds! I saw 3 pair of huge pink angel wings before the sunrise a small angel person pulling the sun up through the clouds. The energy was amazing, expansive and full of love with a lovely breeze and warm air, truly a magical start to the day.

Pelican Highway and Seagull Street were packed. The flock of seagulls flew in hot and chatty! Pelican Highway was all lined up bringing us a message of the power of connection and teamwork. They said, “When we work together, our strength is tenfold. We know as we align and allow the current to carry us we can achieve even more.”

After sunrise I ran into Skylar the osprey and a little green heron. They both had the same message of letting go. I said, Really?! More poop? As the title green heron squatted down he said, “Yes, the message of letting go is an important one. Take a deep breath, exhale, drop your shoulders and let go of all you no longer need.”

Dot the osprey has been coming every sunrise and sunset for about 2 1/2 weeks. Each time we hang out, she is raising her tail feathers and letting go. She has a funny personality, like one of those friends who is always joking around.

Wishing you a beautiful day of connection!

Your legs give you a solid foundation

Mother Nature used beautiful reflections on the wet sand to bring us a serene and expansive feeling sunrise. Several seagulls were already hanging out when I reached the beach. A few sandpipers and willets flew at mach speed.

We have a few messengers today, the seagulls and a black crowned night heron. The seagulls said, “Even in times of stress, we encourage spreading your wings and leading with your heart. Step into nature to refill your energy with sun and gain perspective.”

After sunrise I ran into a night heron at the pool. This was certainly odd so I stopped to see what he had to say. These cuties are usually out at dawn and dusk.

He said, ”When things seem tumultuous staying grounded is key. Herons have skinny legs so we know how important it is to stay centered especially in uncertain situations. Your legs with give you the foundation to stay solid.”

Wishing you a peaceful day friends!

Let go to feel better

The ocean was churning sending a thick layer of salt into the air. The color show before the sunrise was muted with just a subtle soft pink in the wispy clouds. Once the sun came up poking through a keyhole int he clouds a vibrant buttery golden color filled the sky.

A few seagulls were already at the edge of the ocean when I arrived but the majority of the flock flew in after the sunrise and stayed for bath time. I missed them a lot so I was happy they let me sit with them for a long time as they plucked off old feathers and had some joyful bath time.

The seagulls had a a lot to say but the majority them were serious about taking time for self care. They said, “I know we say this a lot but we find daily hygiene time is important to keep us from letting the bugs build up. We recommend letting go of the old so the new can come in. And bath time with friends makes it fun!”

Dot the osprey, rival of Skylar agreed with them. I ran into her after sunrise and again, she lifted her tail feathers and said, “Let go, it will make you feel better.”

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Getting my feathers clean all the way to the end.

Love is Universal

It was raining at sunrise again today so I thought I’d go with the theme of love today.

Love is universal, everyone can speak the language. These are images of parents and their young, friends and romantic love, I hope you can feel the love.

After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Mother Nature brings us a message of rest, courtesy of another rainy sunrise. I was inspired to post a mixture of weather related photos to start the day.

The seagulls said, “Katie Perry’s song, Firework is the perfect message for today.” They went on to say, “The sun always finds a way to shine, eventually. Oh, and hugging a rainbow feels really good."

“After a hurricane comes a rainbowMaybe a reason why all the doors are closed

So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road

Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow

And when it's time, you'll know.” ~ Katie Perry

Wishing you a rainbow kind of day friends!

The light always finds a way through

Mother Nature started out with a black and white sunrise bringing just a hint of pink high in sky in the wispy clouds. Despite little light and clouds, the moon found a way to shine bright.

The vibe of the morning was a mix of sultry and mystical with the gray clouds and golden light creeping through. At one point the sun was still veiled by the clouds but visible reminding us the light always finds a way through. Below the sun, it looked like a woman in a ball gown or an angel standing under the sun.

The flock of seagulls came in with their usual message, “Lean back, open your wings and heart, feel the love, it is everywhere.”

After sunrise I ran into a friend of Skylar the osprey. She had a boo boo on her left paw but seemed to be doing just fine. She was quite chatty saying, “Use your GPS to know when to let go of what you no longer need. The combination of trusting your intuition and letting go, creates a feeling of relief and lightness making it easier to keep flying.”

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Let go to rebuild

I was mesmerized by the moon this morning. It was high in the sky surrounded by cozy clouds as I walked to the beach. The clouds continued to hug the moon for a long while.

A small starfish was on the beach next to where I set my bag down. A sunriser ( A regular sunrise walker) came along and air lifted the sweet little nugget back to the ocean. The flock of seagulls and royal terns were already at our spot enjoying some much needed bug and feather removal.

The moon, clouds, royal tern and starfish all came to gather to bring us a powerful message today. The blue moon (August 22) was an energetic crescendo of the month which we can still feel. Full moons tend to illuminate emotions and ‘things hidden from us.’ If we set the intention to remove the clouds we can see clearly and even have epiphanies.

The royal tern digging deep to pull out old feathers encourages us to to go within and pull out anything we no longer need. The starfish chimed in saying,”I bring the message of using all your senses for regeneration. You see, the full moon illuminates the hidden so we can let go, then rebuild. Use your senses to feel your way through, trust your gut and intuition to navigate the waves. You got this.”

Wishing you groovy day friends!

Sharing is Caring

It was a moody blues meets fifty shades of grey with a splash of pretty in pink kind of sunrise. The ocean was like glass with silvery light sparkling on the surface. The waves were beautiful and perfectly formed. As they splashed up against me, I could feel any stress and tension leave my body.

Pelican Highway traffic was light, floating along the wave. The pelican said as he glided by, “I bring the message of floating thought emotions, letting them wash over like waves. Letting the waves pass creates balance and ease for flight.”

The flock of seagulls flew in for our usual connection time and savoring the sunrise together. A royal tern flew over head with a fish yelling. I think it’s quite a skill that they can yell while carrying a fish. It turns out he was announcing himself for his mate, who he flew next to and passed the fish. He said, “Sharing is caring. I like helping out my flock mates because generosity helps lift the mood of my friends”

Wishing you a day in the flow!

The royal tern on the right flew in with the fish and gave it to his friend for breakfast.

Blue moon and jupiter bring a hopeful vibe

The blue moon and Jupiter looked to be having a conversation as the moon was setting over the river. Jupiter brings expansive energy, good luck and adventure. With the two of them teaming up you might feel more hopeful.

This rare blue moon encourages us to embrace our uniqueness and share it with the others, collaborating for the greater good.

As I left the river and headed to the beach the soft swirly pastel colors filled the sky. I could see a wispy bird shape in the clouds. After a while the solo bird looked like 2 birds, one reaching over toward the other one. The energy was sweet and loving.

The flock of seagulls flew in after sunrise and brought with them Buddy the herring gull. Buddy just returned from his summer travels and was his usual self, full of attitude and gumption.

He is easy to spot because he loves to talk and walks toward the other gulls like he is the boss of all birds. He said, “I’m feeling the moon! Even though I have a unique personality, us birds know how to flock together for a common goal.”

Wishing you a groovy day friends!

Almost Blue Moon

We are having a Blue Moon this month on Sunday. Tonight the almost full moon came up just before the sunset. The huge waves and gorgeous light added to the magic of the evening.

As I was standing in the water an adorable family came to play. Their joy was infectious! My heart overflowed with happiness as I watched the kids play in the water with huge smiles.

I don't usually photograph people but I couldn't help myself, I had to snap the heart expanding play!

The mom gave me permission to post and share the joy with you. Thank you sweet family for sharing the joy!

Dive in the experience is worth it

It was a heart opening sunrise with a sweet and swirly color show. Even the waves were forming heart shapes in their splash.

The call to the ocean was loud because surfers filled the water before the sun came up. The waves were powerful and felt amazing as they rushed by. The waves frozen in time remind us to slow down and soak up the beauty, savoring each moment.

Hook, the seagull and her flock flew in hot, hearts and wings open ready to hug and grab a bath together. One of the gulls hung in place saying she agreed with the waves about hanging in the moment is really fun.

Pelican Highway joined in the fun enjoying a little surf time and feeding just past the waves. The pelican with his wings open and diving in said, “We encourage diving in, fully committed, trust even if you don’t catch a fish, the experience is with it.”

Wishing you a heart opening kind of day!

My Invisible Husband. ♡
