Salty Hair, Turtle Rescues, and the Art of Letting Go 🐢🌊✨
The sea has a funny way of washing away every drop of tension and replacing it with a pocket full of sand and a profoundly full heart. Standing on the shore this week, watching the horizon roll out forever, I was reminded of what happens when we finally stop managing life and just let ourselves be in it.
Here are a few quiet truths the tides handed me:
1. Rest is medicine. Real, slow, unhurried rest where the only deadline is the setting sun.
2. The post-dinner walk is sacred. Stepping out for a long stroll after a heavy meal isn't just about movement—it’s where the best stories are told, the sea breeze settles the spirit, and we get to laugh under the emerging stars.
3. Salty hair is a blessing. My black hair spent seven days wildly textured by the ocean breeze, and honestly? Embracing that wildness felt like freedom.
4. Saving sea turtles will change you forever. Getting to participate in a sea turtle rescue was pure grace. Watching those tiny, resilient creatures make their way toward the vast, open water can be a humbling reminder that we are all just finding our way back to the source. 🐢❤️
5. Honor everyone’s individual tide. My granddaughter wanted to dig to China. My daughter-in-law needed quiet reading time. I needed my daily Lunar Flow on the deck. Recognizing that everyone carries their own agenda—and holding space for all of it without needing to direct the traffic—that is the ultimate yoga practice.
6. Flow requires flexibility, availability, and pure presence. When you drop the schedule, you make room for magic.
Now I’m back home in Chillicothe, listening to the quiet of the trees, honoring the ocean's rhythm, and smiling at what traveled back with me. There are seashells tucked into my bags, sand in the floorboards, and a few hitchhiking sea creatures that somehow made the trip!
