Be Beautiful

I believe in following the rules of non-violence, taking the high road, only defending, never attacking or offending.
At times, in this adventure of being human, I question everything that I believe in.....

I reached out to my wonderful friend Mariah in a hope that she would offer me a word of comfort.
As always, she followed through.

Indeed, I am beautiful.

My Dream Job

The topic as of late in my life reinvention, has been -What do I want to do when I grow up?
What could I possibly do that would nourish me, and pay the bills?

I want to swim with the fishes.

Not just any fishes. Whale sharks.
They migrate once a year from somewhere to somewhere along the yucatan peninsula, and it just so happened the whale sharks were in Mexico this summer at the same time we were.
What a coincidence!
It was one of my most amazing life experiences EVER... And I have a had a really cool life.

We took a cab at 6am for a 2 hour ride to a marina. We took a speed boat for another 2 hours waaaaay out into the middle of the ocean. We found a pod of about 30 whale sharks that were bigger than our boats, like 30-40 ft long, 75-100 years old.

We put on snorkels, masks and fins.....

and jumped in to swim with them.

For hours, we finned along side of them, our hearts racing, we'd look beside us to have another one coming toward us, we'd swim along that one, catching its current.....we'd come up for a break, and then jump back in for more...I didn't want that day to end. I cried as we sped away from these beautiful prehistoric giants.
