Thanksgiving is a national holiday in the USA – thank you to whomever made this day a national holiday!

Early Thanksgiving morning I flew from Toronto (brrrr!) to Florida (ahhhh!) and arrived at noon. My sweater came off as soon as I got off the plane, and within 90 minutes I was in the ocean…

The ocean fills me with appreciation… she is so viscerally nurturing, encompassing, embracing, uplifting…

I took my camera into the ocean with me… and filmed this Thanksgiving appreciation! I love sharing my appreciation and I love you!

Intention is wonderful, it is the road map of our life…

But inspiration, oh my!!!

We all make mistakes…

And it can sometimes feel like a problem when they happen!

Are mistakes really ‘mistakes’?

We’re so used to thinking of our planet as bigger than us…

What does it feel like to hold her in our arms?

Upon awakening, the mind starts thinking…

Why not give it something juicy to work with???

Flow…

And there’s plenty of places to remember how…

Breath;

Where did your breath come from???

(Where is it going???)

I’ve heard it a hundred times; ‘Its not about the destination, its about the journey’. I know it as truth, from my own experience…

Yet yesterday, swimming out into the ocean, it sunk in deeper… (the further out I swam, the deeper in it sunk!)

I was immersed in my beloved ocean, and my mind was elsewhere! When I realized that and got present, my entire body and spirit relaxed…
