A person with whom you have an immediate connection the moment you meet — a connection so strong that you are drawn to them in a way you have never experienced before. As this connection develops over time, you experience a love so deep, strong and complex, that you begin to doubt that you have ever truly loved anyone prior. Your soulmate understands and connects with you in every way and on every level, which brings a sense of peace, calmness and happiness when you are around them. And when you are not around them, you are all that much more aware of the harshness of life, and how bonding with another person in this way is the most significant and satisfying thing you will experience in your lifetime. You are also all that much aware of the beauty in life, because you have been given a great gift and will always be thankful.

I have recently discovered parts of myself I never knew or dreamed of
Most of which have been hidden under my fears and long ago tears
The walls I have built are tumbling, one rock at a time, opening the world
The sea soothes my soul and brings healing with its endless sounds and beauty
The sunrise gives promise, opens my heart and eyes to see new things
The sunset in it’s infinite uniqueness confirms me as a person.
The people make me smile and laugh, I can hold them in my heart forever.
The laughter itself is my best friend, during this quest for discovery.
I am what I am? An excuse or the real truth. I believe the latter is true.
I need to practice being me.

Brenda Lofton posted this pic of me on facebook. She found it going through some old files. Was I born a sailor? Who knows, but I love the sea, whether in it, by it or on it.

I was blessed to go fishing yesterday morning with Peter and Jake…So much fun… Struck out at 7 am on a very windy, cloudy day. It was a rough ride out (love it). One of the few places in the world you can see your pad from the major drop off to deep water, where the big fishies live :). One minute it is 15 feet deep, the next 150 plus.
It was an amazing site to see those dolphin heading for the lines, jumping out of the water, then zing … what a beautiful sound. The fight began… and we won! I’m hooked! No pun intended.
