Transparency shows your beauty
With wispy clouds painted across the sky accompanied by a sweet pastel color show, the sunrise had an easy does kind of vibe. It was as if Mother Nature was saying, “Let’s take a break from the flashy sunrises so we can soften and relax.
Gentle waves rolled toward shore when the flock of very chatty gulls flew in for our daily bath time. While bathing, a dolphin and a shark swam by in the shallows just a few feet from the shore.
After sunrise, on the docks I had a nice chat with Luna the Osprey who said, “Hello everyone!” We watched a moon jellyfish float by with the current.
The moon jellyfish said, I”m here to encourage you to be transparent. Go ahead and show yourself from the inside out and let the world see your beauty.”
Wishing you a beautiful day!

More manatee love fest photos
More photos from the manatee sunrise love fest a few days ago.
17 manatees were mating in the shallow water at the beach. As you can see there was a a lot of smooching, hugging and smiles.
I added these and others to the manatee gallery on the website if you want to check them out.

Where your attention goes energy follows
Mother Nature brought us a sweet and soft sunrise with lovely colors and a nice breeze.
The new moon was visible yesterday as just a tiny sliver in the sky but with the turtles, I didn’t get to share and it was a powerful message for us.
The new moon ushers in fresh starts and this one encourages us to be playful. "I bring passion, creativity and matters of the heart front and center. Use my energy to enjoy the simple pleasures in life and share your creativity.”
The chatty flock of gulls flew in and One Legger was in the flock!!! I’ve known One Legger for 4 or 5 years now. She has been coming to New Smyrna every summer, staying through the winter. She is an excellent athlete literally able to fly circles around the flock
She said, “I keep my attention on what works for me, remember to embrace your strengths and you will soar!”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
PS~. Check out the baby turtle nest emerging in the previous post.
Baby Turtle Video
Yesterday I had the great pleasure of seeing a baby turtle nest emerge and head to the ocean. I made a video to share the experience but am unable to load it but can share the link if you would like to see it. Just click the link below.
We go forward because its our destiny
WOW! Not only was a gorgeous sunrise with jetting rays of light in every direction, we also had baby turtles come out of their warm nest and head to the ocean after sunrise!
The almost new moon was setting into the sunrise when the flock of gulls flew in to say hello and grab a quick bath.
At sunrise, a couple baby loggerhead turtles poked their head up out of the nest and hung out there for really long time. A group of people waited anxiously for about 90 minutes for the babies pop out and start their life.
They bring us the message of inspiration, determination, and connection. They brought strangers together to bond and connect. Once up and heading toward the ocean, people from everywhere came to witness the uplifting trek.
One little one with lots of gusto put up his flipper and said, “I got this! It’s true, we have an inner strength to keep us going. It’s in our DNA to keep going even though the odds are against us. That doesn’t stop us, we go forward because it is our destiny.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Snuggle fest
The sunrise is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get….like a little loving, touching and squeezing!
This morning it was full of life with a beautiful sunrise, a huge flock of gulls and a manatee love fest. I need a shirt that says, ‘Will run for wildlife’ because when a sunriser walked by and told me the manatees were at the jetty, I grabbed my stuff and ran!
The manatees bring us the message of hugging, kissing and love. I counted 17 manatee with the female holding her ground. When she turned down the affections of the males, they took the news pretty good, and decided they would hug and snuggle with each other.
She brings the message of saying it's good to say, “No thank you.” And the males said, “When you feel rejected, hug a friend.”
Those faces! Right?! So cute. I hope you like manatees, more photos and videos later,
Wishing you a day filled with hugs!
Loads more videos and photos coming later ……..
That face! So cute
Da Boys
I love you man
let go to hop forward
As I walked to the beach. The morning was quiet except for a frog choir filling the airwaves.
The frogs said, “We are here to encourage connecting to earth so you can feel grounded. This way you can release any heaviness making it easier to hop forward.”
The morning stayed dark and cozy with thick clouds keeping the sun hidden. The no-seeums were intensely giving free acupuncture so I submerged in the ocean to be out of their reach.
Mother Ocean and Mother Nature came together to remind us how nature is a way to reboot and recharge.
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Energy follows attention
Mother Nature is giving us an award winning week of sunrises. This morning was awe inspiring with a fluffy cloud funnel soaking up the light show.
The pre sunrise sky was a mind altering pink color when the flock flew in to chat and get our daily bath. It was like a reunion with so many birds returning from their northern trek.
Perfect waves and a mellow ocean added to the serene beauty. The combination was simultaneously calming and energizing.
Pelican Highway traffic was light flying both directions. One the pelicans with missing feathers floated by bringing us the message of the day.
She said, “Losing feathers is a part of being a bird. When a lot fall out at the same time it can be a bit unnerving. I know where I put my focus the energy follows. To stay on track, I keep my wings and heart open along with making sure self care is part of my daily routine.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

WOW! First light set the tone for an amazing sunrise with a deep pink color show that morphed into a mixture of golds, reds and even lavender.
The breeze was light as powerful waves rolled in toward shore. The large and very chatty flock of gulls flew in to start the morning together.
The gulls and the incredible beauty bring us the message of tuning into the beauty all around, like a radio station, if you are not seeing the beauty, change the station to experience the wonder. Keep you wings and hearts open to soak it up!
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
First Light
baby Turtle release
With rain all around these baby loggerhead turtles made their way to the ocean with gusto and serious determination. So inspiring to see them on their first day of life ready to go for it.
These little ones had a little trouble getting out of their nest so the NSB Turtle Trackers gave them a night of rest then released them last night.
A huge shout out to the tireless New Smyrna Beach Turtle Trackers who are up before the sunrise to care for the nests, keep an eye on any moms and ensure the babies are safe from wildlife and the elements.

Spontaneous play is good for the heart
Mother Nature used the swirly cloud brush to paint the sky with soft white clouds. Along the horizon a wall of fluffy clouds kept the sun hidden and the light dark and sultry.
The flock of gulls could be heard coming down the beach, squawking like a loud alarm clock.
After the sun was up, a pod of dolphins came from the north to play in the waves. 2 of the 5 five dolphin made a heart shaped wave while catching the wave.
They said, “Play makes the heart happy. Whether you are surfing or just enjoying a moment with a smile, playtime is good for the soul. Go ahead, enjoy a moment of spontaneous play. Your heart with thank you.”
Wishing you a playful day friends!
Surf’s Up!
2 dolphins make a heart in the wave
Powerful energy boost
The air was still as I waked out the door and spotted the moon next to Jupiter high in the dark sky. Just a tiny hint of pink was present 45 minutes before the sunrise.
The half moon said, “We are half way through the moon cycle which means we are sandwiched between 2 supermoons. As you can see I am having a conversation with Jupiter who is the planet of expansion.”
“We highly recommend using our energy to manifest and expand what your heart truly desires. Use the energy of today to let go of the old and bring in the new.”
The sun came up large and gorgeous, kissing the ocean goodbye for the day while pelican highway cruised close to the ocean heading in both directions. The pelicans said, “Relax and go with the flow of the energy, it will take you where you want to go.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Stillness to improve well being
Mother Nature brought us a sweet and salty starting off with amazing pink ribbons across the sky at first light. The chatty flock of gulls was already at waiting when I arrived.
High in the sky near the half moon was a pink cloud in the shape of a person with really long legs. Can you see him/her? A sweet reminder our angles are around giving us signs.
The sun came up looking like an Easter egg with deep colors as a sailboat passed by. With the absence of waves, Pelican Highway glided by high in the sky.
After sunrise I had the pleasure of hanging out with a black crowned heron who was checking out the pool.
He said, “Like other herons I bring the message of being balanced and grounded. What makes me a little different than other herons is I am usually nocturnal and have am masterful at being motionless.”
“I’m here to encourage stillness. A few moment of quiet and stillness can make a shift in your overall well being.”
Wishing you a beautiful day

Reach for the stars
Ahhhhh, another serene and heart opening sunrise with majestic clouds serving up the big ball of light with a gentle hug. The colors were breathtaking starting with pink rays jetting into the sky in every direction.
A chatty flock of gulls flew in to say, “Reach for the stars.” Then we hit the water for some much needed bath time.
The waves rolled in with strength, washing over us, carrying all the stress and tension away.
After sunrise, a manatee and a turtle swam over to say hello. They said, “We joined up to bring you the same message of going with the flow. You see, we are both gentle and enjoy an easy does it kind of pace. Oh and, follow your nose, it always knows.”
“We can definitely step on the gas if needed but prefer the meandering kind of stride, this way we can be in the moment meeting new friends and soaking up the moment.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Chilling to refill your tank
The morning was still was just a hint of a breeze when the flock of gulls flew in to say good morning. A cloud wall morphed into a gator as the sun came up. The gator eventually looked like it was breathing pink rays.
The ocean was calm with waves calling to the surfers to come play. After sunrise I ran into Luna the osprey and 4 dolphin.
A momma dolphins and her calf along with 2 other dolphins were enjoying hanging in the lagoon bringing us the message of relaxation. They said, “We highly recommend chilling out with your pod mates to fill up your gas tank.”
Luna the osprey was there too squawking loudly for a long time. She said, “My foot hurts so I just need to yell about it for a few minutes then I’ll feel better and be ready to grab fish and enjoy my day.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Family morning

WOWZER! The sky art was spectacular this morning. The energy matched the beauty, with the moon high in the sky as the sun came up to great the day.
A chatty flock of gulls flew in when it was still dark to enjoy bath time and hang time.
One of the gulls hung in place with her wings back, leading with her heart to say, “Ahhhhh, a moment of stillness to connect, adds sweetness to my day. I highly recommend slowing down to plug into nature to receive the best download to support your journey.
Pelican Highway traffic was light gliding northbound using the churning ocean to fuel their flight.
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Gratitude to make a shift
The supermoon was high in the sky as I walked out the door. A nice breeze was blowing as the ocean churned. The chatty flock of gulls flew in early to say hello and watch the sun come up to greet the day.
We have 2 super moons this month giving us an extra powerful boost to let go and manifest what we truly want.
The full moon this month reminds us to find gratitude. The man in the moon said, ‘Use my power to help you create the life you want, that includes healing, love, abundance and anything else your heart desires. Take a moment to be grateful for where you have been and where you are now, this will help you move forward with gentle ease. “
One of the gulls was fanning his tail wings like a jet. He said, “I’m here to encourage using what you have in unique ways. Think outside the box to give yourself a lift up.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Hot summer Manatee Lovin’
Good Morning!
I’m away from sunrise today but wanted to share a couple things, one is a manatee video from yesterdays snuggle fest and the other is drone shot showing Daniko a male dolphin close by along with Momma Sarabi and her second calf that I have met. These are a couple of my favorite flippered friends.
The tide was really low today courtesy of the full moon and well, the full moon put the manatees in the mood for some summer loving. 2 hours of hanging with them, mostly they were calm and snuggling but a couple times they were feeling amorous. They swam right over to me, said hello then started snuggling, so very cute. Check out the manatee doing a little flip over his friend toward the end.
Click the link to see the manatee love fest.
It is my destiny to stay the course
Before I reached the beach, I could see a heart shaped opening in the sky that instantly helped me relax and breathe deeper.
A larger and very chatty flock of gulls flew in with their wings open ready to start the day.
A sweet couple with 2 small children were enjoying the sunrise too! They let me know there was a baby turtle!
Thank you Emily and your family for letting me know about the turtle and taking time to babysit the little nugget to ensure the birds didn’t snatch him up.
The little hatchling was doing his best to make it the ocean. It appeared his brothers and sisters already left. The waves were powerful and kept sending him backwards with multiple flips and turns.
The New Smyrna Beach Turtle Trackers stopped to assess the little nugget and determined he needed a day to rest before heading out again so they took him to monitor and keep him safe.
Before he left he said, “My journey is one of perseverance. It is my inner knowing that tells me that even though I am tiny and the world looks so big, I am powerful and strong. It is my destiny to stay the course. Despite many obstacles, I will swim at least 30 miles to the sargassum seaweed where I can rest.”
Wishing you a day embodying your inner turtle.

Rest to keep you flying
Mother Nature was in a soft and sweet pastel mood this morning bringing us a very serene start to the day.
Before sunrise the sky filled with a lovely pink and blue sky with a silver shimmery glow on the ocean. Although the ocean was calm the waves were starting to build calling to surfers to come catch a ride.
Pelican Highway glided above the surfers in the waves reminding us to follow the flow of energy to create ease.
A solo pelican landed on the beach at a near by rest stop. He said, “Rest is a necessary part of the journey. Not to worry, taking time out won’t cause you to miss anything. On the contrary, it will fill up your gas tank so you are ready to fly even higher.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
