The sun appeared one time for 10 minutes while we were on the gulf coast. Fortunately, it was at sunset in a blaze of fire over a stormy sea 🌊🌅

When you drive through Mexico Beach make sure to stop by the Marina and check out the new artwork on the side of the building, testimony that we stand strong and are here to stay! #mexicobeachstrong #mexicobeachflorida #neverforgottencoast #rebuildingwithlove ...

Now, where to put up the umbrella?

Rip current warning + small craft advisory + tornado warning = paddleboarding cancelled...

Perfect day for a walk on the beach along the gulf 🐚 with a gentle 20 mph breeze in my hair 😂

Back in Florida! Can you tell I like it here?

This time I’m checking in from the beautiful coastal town of Mexico Beach, a resilient little town on the Gulf. My family bought a home here before Hurricane Michael (a Cat 5) hit back in 2018. Mexico Beach was absolutely devastated by that storm. But like I said, the people here are strong and don’t give up easily. While some homes have been rebuilt, a number have not. Devastation like this takes time to recover from. It is humbling and inspiring to witness.

Being here reminds me to be grateful for what I do have. To not take anything for granted. And inspires me to be resilient in my own life as well.

When things get hard, remind yourself of this:

“I am resilient. My mind, body and spirit are strong. I embrace all life’s challenges. I face my fears rather than hide from them. I choose happiness each day. I believe in the power of hope. I live my life with trust and courage. I set goals I can’t possibly achieve and then I grow into the person who can. I make time to reflect, rest and recharge. I ignore doubters and naysayers especially if they are in my head. I continually nudge my comfort zone because I refuse to live a life that is simply good enough. I believe love and compassion are necessities not luxuries. I know that no matter what happens in my life I will be okay.” - Resilient Living (found on Pinterest 🥰)
