You are supported
Ahhhhhhhhhh! Mother Nature brought us a romantic kind of sunrise with pink and golden colors filling the sky. Perfect waves looked like sparkly champagne as they soaked up the light rolling toward shore.
Pelican Highway was star of the morning casting down the beach in both directions.
The pelicans said, “We bring the reminder you are always supported no matter what. For us the support may come in the form of a wave, a fish, a hooman or another pelican. Whether you see it or not, you are being held up on your journey."
“Us pelicans are social, so we enjoy flying together encouraging you to fly with your like minded flock.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Relax your wings and let the energy carry you
With a huge cloud in front of the sunrise and a pink glow, the pre sunrise felt cozy and comforting. The ocean resembled a lake until the sun came up, then the waves began to roll in catching the lovely light.
The flock of gulls flew in at their usual time to get squeaky clean while Pelican Highway floated over the waves.
One of the pelicans said, “I highly recommend relaxing your wings so you can rest into the energy of the waves. Let the flow carry you with ease. If you don’t feel the flow, wait a few minutes for a another wave of energy to come, which it will.”
Wishing you a beautiful day in the flow!
Relax your wings and let the energy carry you
Tap into new moon and Jupiter
Inhale, Exhale, Repeat.
Mother Nature used her swirly paint brush before the sunrise creating a pink and purple Monet masterpiece. Thank you to my sunrise friend for that description this morning.
The almost new moon was surrounded by the cozy clouds having a conversation with Jupiter. Jupiter is associated with growth, blessings, optimism and luck. The combination of fresh starts of the new moon and Jupiter is very powerful.
Together they say, “Tap into our energy to manifest what your heart truly desires. Our combo energy along with your intentions can propel you into your next chapter.”
The chatty flock flew in at their regular time to get squeaky clean. Pelican Highway traffic was light, using the waves to float down the shoreline with ease.
The pelican said, “Remember to relax and float along with the energy. Let the waves carry you to your destination.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Prioritize your emotional needs
The almost new moon was glowing in the sky as I walked toward the beach. A light breeze and calm ocean set the tone for a peaceful start to the day.
A huge cloud on the horizon looked a bit intense at first light. When the sun came up it helped to illuminate the cloud and lightening the mood. The color became increasingly orange as the sun came up to greet the day.
The energy of a new moon can be felt 3 days before and after, reminding us now is a good time to set intentions and embrace fresh starts. This new moon is situated in the sky to bring us clarity.
The new moon is encouraging us to prioritize our emotional needs but also how we feel safe and secure. Use your intuition to know what you need and guide you forward.
The flock of gulls added, “We find flocking together gives us the safety we need to relax, bathe and keep our wings and hearts open.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Use all Your skills to adapt
First light was stunning with a vibrant pink glow and crescent moon overlooking the ocean. The stillness and quiet added tot he serenity of the moment.
A chatty flock of gulls flew in for bath time. One of the gulls in the air with his wings open said, “It’s true I’m a bit tattered with holed in my feet and missing feathers, but that just means I’ve been living. I’m a reminder to keep your wings and heart open even when you feel ragged.”
The sun came up large and beautiful while the waves soaked up the sunlight. The waves rolling in were calling to the surfers to come have a ride.
After sunrise I ran into a cormorant. She said, “I’m here to encourage using all your skills. You see, I can swim and dive deep once in the water and fly too! I use my inner knowing to know which one to use helping me adapt to any situation quickly.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Mother Nature and Mother Ocean support us
Ahhhhh, a serene and beautiful morning with lovely springtime colors filled the sky. Still air gave the morning an extra peaceful vibe.
The fluffy clouds soaked up the colors adding to the awe inspiring beauty. A small but chatty flock of gulls was already waiting when I reached the ocean.
Two powerful mothers bring us a message today. Mother Nature and Mother Ocean encourage us to plug into nature to reboot and recharge.
They said, “We are always available for you to lean on. Nature is a natural way to restore balance and nurture our mind, body and spirit."
Baby Ruby, Momma Jade's baby from 2019 added to the message saying, "Nurturing and connection with my momma makes me feel strong and safe."
Wishing you a day feeling nurtured and loved.
Stopping to assess is part of the process
The wind was whipping as I walked to the beach. At first the sky had just a few fluffy cotton ball clouds but the closer we got to sunrise, the more clouds came floated in, adding to the beauty of the morning.
Mother Nature used her pastel color palette giving us a soft and sweet vibe. A chatty flock flew in, using the wind to stay in place until we hit the water for our usual bath time. The birds know getting the bugs off with a good bath is a great way to start the day.
Pelican Highway traffic was light with just a few birds heading southbound. A solo pelican slammed on his brakes like he was going to hit the rest stop but changed his mind and kept flying.
He said, “Stopping to assess if I can grab a fish is part of being a pelican. We recommend being open to the flow. Trust yourself to know when to stop and when to keep going.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Open hearts ready to create
Ahhhhh, another sweet pretty in pink kind of sunrise. Mother Nature used low tide to give us a reflective sunrise, doubling the beauty.
A very chatty flock of gulls flew in with their wings and hearts open. They said, “We are here to encourage keeping your wings and hearts open. We are trying to decide if we should head north for the summer. Until we feel inspired, we are savoring the moments with each other.”
When the sun came up from behind the huge cloud on the horizon, hope and excitement for a new day also emerged. A blank slate to create anything you want is here!
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Intimacy through the eyes
The sand was still wet from a rain shower leaving the air humid and salty. The flock of gulls flew in for our usual bath time in the warm water.
Reflections on the wet sand aded to the expansive vibe and the beauty. Huge fluffy clouds filled the sky, soaking up the sweet pastel colors.
After sunrise, 2 male dolphin and 3 pelicans came into the lagoon for snacks and relaxation. Eddy the immature pelicans is a very expressive Being. He uses his eye to say a lot! As you can see his is looking in the water for a fish.
He said, “They say the eyes are the window to the soul. Can you see mine? I know it can be scary to let people see in, but the intimacy and connection is worth it.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Home is within you
Another lovely spring sunrise with a light breeze and calm ocean. The soft colors added to the serene vibe. As the sun came up the waves started to grow, rolling toward shore soaking up the varied of colors.
The chatty flock flew in as the sun was coming up ready for our usual bath time. Surprisingly, pelicans highway traffic was almost non existent.
After sunrise, I met a turtle strolling across the parking lot. She said, “ I bring the message of trust and flow. I’m here to remind you everything is falling into place, no need to force anything. What is meant for you, will never pass you by.”
“I carry my home on my back, a message that home is within you. Rest deeper into your heart to feel the safety of home. “
Wishing you a beautiful day!
Snuggles and hugs keep your immune system strong
Inhale, Exhale, Repeat.
Mother Nature brought us a relaxing and soothing sunrise with a light breeze and calm ocean. Perfect waves rolled in soaking up the soft light.
A chatty flock flew in just in time for the sun to come up bringing us the start of a new day. They said, “The sun brings us vitamin D to give our immune system a boost.”
After sunrise a pod of dolphin came in to grab snacks. In between grabbing breakfast they enjoyed a little snuggle time. A solo pelican relaxed with the dolphins waiting for them to go get a fish.
The cuddling dolphins said, “Snuggles and hugs help support your immune system and boost your mood. We highly recommend a hug a day to keep you smiling and healthy.”
Wishing you a groovy day friends!
Shake off the stress and tension
With a cool breeze the morning felt refreshing. The wind was blowing the top of the waves sending a salty spray into the air. The swirly clouds soaked up a variety of colors adding to the breathtaking beauty.
A chatty flock of gulls flew in at their usual time, circling around the sun. We headed into the ocean for our usual bath time. One of the gulls gave her self and a good shake then lifted up out of the water in perfect form.
She said, “I’m here to encourage giving yourself a good shake. You see dogs and birds know the power of a good shake, the kind that gets your feathers fluffy and makes the bugs go flying.”
“Once you shake off the stress and tension you can lift up light and airy looking and feeling like a graceful dancer. Join me in letting go, we can lift up together.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Communication with Wildlife
Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Communication with Wildlife
If you don’t know my background, I’ve been using a from of therapy in my mental health private practice called CranioSacral Therapy since 2005. It’s a form of light therapeutic touch that assists the body in letting go of trauma and calms the nervous system.
When I get in the water I use my therapeutic skills to tune into the lagoon. If you see me with my hands out it’s not an attempt to pet or touch, it’s one of the ways I communicate or send energy.
On Thursday I spent 3 hours with a solo dolphin who had a fresh shark bite along with a second bite that looked older. I recognized this dolphin from April 2021 when he came in with the first bite.
I’m pretty sure it’s the same dolphin but if not, the experience was the same. I always ask permission first. I asked Maximus, named in 2021, if I could send him healing energy to the wound. Dolphins are very good healers so I wasn’t sure he would want help. After I asked, he swam close and I took that as a yes.
3 hours we spent together with healing energy. It was a sweet and lovely time together.
Friday when I got in the water, he was in the lagoon alone again. I said, “Good Morning, how are you?” Within a minute he swam right over really, really close a few times then went off to relax in the deeper water. I took this as a greeting and his way of showing me his energy was better!
The same thing happened in 2021 with this dolphin. I saw the first bite, asked if I could help and got a yes. After a bit of time passed I said, “If this is helpful can you give me a sign?”
He came in super close and out of the water. I thought, I‘ll move and give him some space to eat. When I walked to the right, he followed on my left side, swam in front of me and came straight out of the water with a fish. I took this as him saying, "Yes that was helpful.”
I experience the same energy from them when I feel their echolocation. When it comes toward me it can help shift my mood or help my head clear. It’s truly an honor to hang with these wonderful Beings.
Stay tuned for more tales!

stay open to new doors unlocking with ease
Mother Nature brought us a windy and refreshing sunrise. The wind was assisting in restoring the dunes by blowing the sand with intensity in their direction. The wind and sand remind us rebuilding is possible, it just takes time.
The golden ball of light came up above the churning ocean bringing us a beautiful new day.
The flock of gulls flew in hot using their feet to brake and the wind to hold in place. While I was hanging with the gulls, a crow flew in to see if I had any snacks in my bag.
He said, “I have a a lot to say! I am here to remind you to look for the magic in your every day life. I want you to know, everything you have worked for is manifesting in the physical form, hang in there.”
“I’m a reminder to check out all your resources. I’m investigating the backpack to see if it can be helpful. Watch for signs and opportunities and stay open to new doors unlocking with ease.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Sometimes the messengers are obvious.
Got snacks?
Being rooted gives you inner strength
Mother Nature used her pastel color palette to bring us a stormy moody blues sunrise. The dramatic clouds added to the wintry feeling. Silver light sparkled on the water as the waves rolled in.
Although the full moon was hidden as it set behind thick clouds, the powerful energy was palpable. A blue heron floated by while I stood in the river looking for dolphins bringing us the message today.
He said, “Ground yourself, relax and flow along with the energy. Being rooted will help you feel an inner strength to help navigate any uncertainty.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Dolphins, Manatees, and Shark Bites, Oh My!
Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Dolphins, Manatees, and Shark Bites, Oh My!
When I got in the lagoon today there was a solo dolphin relaxing with 3 pelicans. Minutes later a manatee came over and said hello.
Once I started snapping photos of the dolphin I knew right away it had a shark bite. Since 2018 I’ve seen around 10 dolphin shark with bites. This one seemed to be doing ok, grabbing fish and even came out of the water once with a mullet surrounded by pelicans.
When he wasn’t chasing fish he was relaxing in the calm water. I saw more manatees come in from the north. When they got closer, I counted 7! By the end of the day I saw 13 manatees!
Seeing so many is exciting because last year they were struggling to survive. I hope they continue to thrive.
Stay tuned for more tales!

Let go to expand
As I walked the beach, the roar of generators filled the air waves. Power was out as far as the eye could see. When I reached the beach, the absence of birds and darkness added to the eerie feeling of the day.
The flock eventually flew in hot and chatty and with it, a feeling of relief. The flock sure brings me comfort and connection.
The full moon was setting just before I started to walk to the beach. Like all full moon it asks us to let go of what no longer serves us. This one is accompanied by the energy of a lunar eclipse which amplifies the intensity of the moon.
The moon says, “Use my energy to facilitate letting go so you can expand. Let go and step into what your heart truly desires. My energy may feel intense but trust you can do this.”
A couple gulls added to the message saying, “When the energy feels intense, go within for the answers. Practice self care by pulling out the old feathers, making room for new ones. Trust us, you will love your new look.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Being grounded is your super power
With cool temperature and light salty breeze the morning felt refreshing. The sun came up free from clouds showing us the beauty of simplicity.
A very chatty flock of gulls, sand pipers, and ruddy turnstones flew in hot ready for bath time. They had their wings and hearts up lifting up together bringing us the message of supporting each other. They said, “join us in lifting each other up.”
We have a full moon eclipse tomorrow which you may feel the energy of already. The full moon brings us endings and conclusions. The eclipse adds an additional boost ushering in a very powerful opportunity to let go of anything that no longer serves us.
The solo laughing gull said, “Keep yourself rooted like a redwood to stay centered. Being grounded is your super power to navigate the waves of energy you may feel.”
2 skimmers flying by grabbing snacks by dragging their lower beak through the water added to the message. “We are different than the other birds. We encourage using the moon energy to step into your uniqueness. Your differences add to the special ingredients that make you."
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Momma Jade
If you are just tuning in, I met Momma Jade in 2019 with her baby Ruby. She was the second mom and baby I had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with.
With each baby I have said, “Hey Momma, Can I meet your baby?” Each time she was presented her baby. The first time the baby hopped on top of her and they swam by together. The second time, the baby was on her back under water and she lifted her up just a few feet away.
She is an excellent fisher girl. She is affectionate with her kiddos, enjoying lots of kissing, smooching and rolling around together.
Stay tuned for more tales!

Waiting is part of the journey
Ahhhhhh what a sweet pretty in pink morning. A calm ocean and light wind brought us a sweet and serene sunrise.
When I reached the beach I could see dolphins swimming south as the flock flew in to enjoy bath time as the sun came up to greet the day.
Perfect waves started to grow as the sun came up as a sailboat headed out to sea. The sailboat and wave bring us the message of going with the flow.
Together they said, “Waiting for the momentum is part of the ride. Not to worry if you feel a lull, the abundant resources will carry you forward when the timing is best.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
