My Adventure of my Lifetime! A Long Time Coming! Time to Map it Out and Take You along the Way incase it Inspires you to do your own Adventure.

I have often said "Lead the Life you want to Live!"

Unfortunately for a long time I wasn't "Leading the Life, I Wanted to Live!" and lost my flow. I was serving a relationship that was dying and ultimately deeply betrayed me creating extremely deep scars.

So now "What do you do with all this pain, disillusionment and sadness???" Well, you pick up the sport of SURFING @ 60 yrs.

My new mantra . . . "Find Your Flow by LETTING GO!"

Maybe a little background with where my mantra comes from will CLARIFY (my word for 2025). I grew up a California beach girl. I learned to absolutely love the ocean and all it's majesty, thanks to my childhood friends who got me out past the wave break. Once that happened I was hooked. The feeling of the ocean HUGGING you while you play, and at the same time, cautioning you to grow and improve your skills and strength as she can play rough sometimes. When you get caught on a wave "in the tumble drum" it behooves you to "LET GO" and FLOW with it as you will be righted when mother ocean calms to the shore. . . Awww CLARITY. Fighting the wave usually makes things so much tougher, you suffer more and maybe even get hurt.

So many life lessons learned while playing in nature, which makes sense right? She is called "MOTHER NATURE".

* Solana Beach, California

Anyway, I have expressed to my three beautiful sons, "You can do anything, you set your mind, will and effort to." And, "If It Springs From Within, It's Truly Yours".

WELL. . . Off to Global Surf Camp - Self Directed! My favorite way to travel. My vision of myself for myself (as I like to have one for the journey) is to dance the length of my longboard on a beautiful wave, just flowing like a young surfer queen. Ok, I have one year - let's get started.

* Bolinas, California

So let's begin this exciting adventure. Here is what you can expect...

This is more of a journal style blog that will evolve for me and us along my path of discovery. I will share what I learn and experience incase it assists with your journeys. It's that simple! Just stay tuned and pearls will come.

PEARLS LIST FOR BOLINAS | STINSON BEACH CALIFORNIA

Sometimes I will jump around between activities as that is what I like to do, so please hang with me. Surfing this year is my main focus though and Next week I will begin a 3 part series on Costa Rica. A deep dive in to the places I went and the services I used to have a trip of peaceful tranquility, exploration and "Pura Vida!"
