Reminds me of sunshine, surf and sand – my place of calm.

“Calmness is trust in action. I should seek all things that can help me to cultivate calmness.” 24 hrs.

I am MOST thankful I have FAITH!

This is so important to me now in this time of aloneness. Every little connection is good for the whole!

All the new ahead!

Happy 50th Earth Day! Useppa Island is my all time inspiration.

Yesterday I took a picture of my magnolia tree out of my kitchen window amazed that its still blooming. Then this ?!?!?! This morning! It’s been blooming and holding on to its blooms over over two weeks. Sun, warmth, wind, hail, snow and the blooms are still there. I am delighting in the strength and stamina of my beautiful magnolia tree.

Last night we had severe thunderstorms, dangerous lightening and golf ball sized hail. I was sure my budding magnolia would be completely bare of all potential blooms this morning. It wasn’t. This tree shows me how much strength we all have to weather the storms each of us face.

The beauty of Spring unfolding brings me peace.
