Month: November 2015

Yep:)

Throw in some Stevie nicks, Norah jones, Zeppelin, Marley and van Morrison in that music mix and you’ve got all you need for the makings of a perfect morning-

not that there was anything wrong with mornings surfs and smoothie- coffee- hostel loving and living, but oooo-weee, super sexy-sweaty-sweet sexing, rad playlists, AND (organic) chocolate in bed… Just to start the day!? Happiness?!?….YES- yes – yes – yes yes 😈🍫🍫🛌🛌🎉🎉🎶🎶🎶.
And a thank you to miss jelly bean purple (who you can follow at http://www.livingaloha.com) for the endless hours or epic play lists and unlimited love I can feel you sharing, that I get to draw from…every second of every day. So blessed for your love ☮💟☯

From there it’s only natural that the afternoon found its self melting into the ocean. Swimming and body surfing in glassy waves,🍷🍷🍷 wine by the bottle and 👣👣👣and walks beach side to this Beautiful sunset

– life is short, do what makes you happy…. Found this John Lennon quote the other day.

This quote holds many truths that are easy to lose track of when chasing a life full of tangible things, and not simply- simple living and happiness. Be happy- and all the other “stuff” finds a way to fall into place.

Today brings Another mellow morning, super fun glassy wave surf session and smoothie slurping extravaganza… This Air B&B we get to enjoy has been delightful. The night we came in the water in the bathroom shower and sink wasn’t working🚿🚫😳 (as a result of sediment buildup in the nozels from a power outage a few days prior- wild) Non the less the super host Robert who runs the units left us this most thoughtful gift yesterday am!!

not necessary, but oh so appreciated.:)

Any who, today’s post surf, post smoothie beach adventure was cut short by ominous clouds so we find ourselves here…

Lazy afternoon loving 🙂 🌧☁️🌦❤️🌧☁️rain leaping from the sky kissing the ground with the warmest, almost steamy, intentions… and I choose to just lay back watch the world move- enjoying mellow music (Corinne Bailey Rae is the most perfect companion for an afternoon thunderstorm), beautiful company and nature. I smile- so full of love 🙂

Life is amazing.
Sometimes I worry, which I know I know quite well is pointless, but I’m human and find my mind making noise non the less- when this happens I try to remember two things- first this quote “If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it’s not fixable then there is no help in worrying. There is no need to worry what so ever” Dali Llama
And, Secondly, since clearly I can’t even begin to compare myself to the Zen of the Dali llama i just try to remember to stay in the present. This exact moment is SO special. But it will pass wether you enjoy it not, so enjoy it 🙂 What’s meant to happen will- take a breathe, and be appreciative and happy for everything that you have. Right here, right now. ✨💏⛱🗺

Looking forward to more waves, 🏄🏽🏄🏽🏄🏽🌅🌅🌅can’t wait for an evening sunset surf…

On a bigger scale looking forward to all the gifts- the ups, the downs, the twists and turns, the clarity and confusion, balance and growth  as I wander down the path of life. I feel so grateful for all that I have, and the knowledge that whatever I end up is exactly where I’m supposed to be- the universe continues to Inspire and humble. Sometimes we just need to pause- pause, long enough to realize- that this moment is a miracle and everything is going to be just fine:) inhale trust, exhale doubt. Inhale love, exhale fear. Inhale you have arrived, exhale you are home…..🐘🙏🏽🌎🐢

Wild and wandering…..
Salty and sunkissed…
and In love with life 😍🌺🌱
Pura vida sweet friends.
Have a most beautiful day ✌🏽️☀️🌈

Although I found my way into wifi land, I have also found my way into people- which means all that energy I was spending with my self- introverted, is now being expressed outward. As a result I have been writing less and sharing more with the humans in my physical space. 🙂

Funding happiness in balance. Balance is An absolutely necessity to Joy in life. Physically, emotionally, mentally…. Hostel life is fun:) So many different souls  on this planet… All magically divine, trying their best to  make sense of this human experience. It is so essential for growth to spend time outside your zone. Meet people who speak different languages- who are nothing like you- and greet them with an open mind and heart…. If a seed was afraid to break out of its shell would it ever blossom into a beautiful tree/ flower?🌱🌺🌻🌿.

i find the Intrinsic qualities gained, from loving and sharing, and being present I the moment are benchmarks of a life well lived…. Cars, houses, clothes the tangible thing we purchase bring only fleeting pleasure and ultimately drive u further away from eachother, from nature- and from spending time celebrating the simple beautiful pleasures of life that Mother Earth provides for free. Laughter, smiles, love, memories…. Try to gain more of these.

“When the power of love overcome the love of power the world will know peace” -Jimi Hendrix

Leave your ego at The door…. Let’s just love eachother.. Sometimes it’s not logical. But it works- All love all the time:) try it ❤️

I’ve also been having a great time, working with BarriGuiones – Costa Verdes tree program- planting life and playing in the dirt- it’s a beautiful program dedicated to collecting tree species, germinating seeds, planting up to 40 different types of seedlings and ultimately reforesting the costs. The people running the program are so dedicated and whole heartedly devoted to the cause it’s really fulfilling to be around such positive, grounded energy- if you find yourself in this part of the country take some to do more than surf and yoga. The magic of a tree that will stand for years to come and share shade and love is truly priceless 🙂 http://www.costaverdes.org check it out – plant a tree 👍🏽

Some post seedling collection- slack line fun ☀️🌊☮ – little bit of work, little bit of play 🙂

Oh  I failed to mention that the whole face of my phone is shattered. Making texting, blogging, and using my phone in general a bit complicated…. On a positive note- at least it still works 👍🏽

feeling salty and sunkissed and SO happy to be alive 🦀🏄🏽🌅

Turtles stories soon. I promise 🙂
