Monterey shoreline

Well I usually post pictures of my mountains but I love the ocean as well and water has always had a calming effect. Whether it is a trickle or the waves crashing in, the rhythmic sound is soothing to my soul and I usually fall asleep on the beach. 

This shot was taken just down the road from the Monterey aquarium in California. We bought tickets for one day but actually got a two day admission for the prize of one. It’s still somewhat unbelievable that we spent two full days inside the aquarium never getting bored once. From watching the feeding of the sea otters (my favorite little critters) to the clumsy puffin Pinguins, to the open sea with turtles and sharks swimming in the giant tank, it was a mesmerizing experience. Do you think you could stay for two full days?

We are the co-creators of our life and the time is now. More than ever are we needed to support Mother Earth and each other. Together we discover and explore our unique gifts in times of strengths, in times we lean on each other, and in times when we learn from each other. This blog started as an outlet and what I ultimately called my “Warriors Journey.” It was a way to document the ups and downs of my life, sharing my hardships as well as my successes. It showcased the struggles, but more important the ways of how to overcome them. Although we are warriors each and every day, I realized that having to be a warrior, comes from a place of pain. I decided to rename this blog, and “Phoenix Rising” now stands for the story of overcoming such a painful place. My motivation for this blog hasn’t changed and I hope to share inspiration and hope, to create a sense of belonging, a space of being heard, and connecting with like minded beings who instill a sense of oneness. We are never alone, and we are unstoppable in the pursuit of what sets our soul on fire. Who I am in a nutshell... 
I am an energy healer and Reiki Master. I am surviving a chronic disease that I’ve sent into remission three times since my initial bout, 15 years ago. I continuously challenge the status quo and by doing so I change my stars. I am a believer that anything is possible. I am a hopeless romantic and I believe that true love exists on various levels. I am an optimist that will always see the glass as half full. I am a dreamer, believing in endless possibilities. Not even the sky is the limit. I have jumped off of the hamster wheel, and I am writing a new chapter. I am chasing my Nirvana to support my most authentic self. This is my story, I am that Phoenix and I am rising from the ashes. Namaste 🙏🏼💙🦋

  2. Beautiful, and I remember Monterey very well, having been there a few times. I’m also a bit torn between mountains and sea. My plan is to visit the shore of the Pacific Ocean on Saturday. And the Columbia Gorge on Sunday. So I have both, if all goes well. Surf and Turf 🙂 ! Have a great day!

  3. What is the flower on the right of the picture saying to the one on the far left you think? If I had to answer this, I would think that they would be talking about if this is heaven, please don’t wake us from our dream. Just my thoughts on these flowers…
