It's a warm summer night here in Key West =) The sunsets have been AH-Mazin' lately. I find myself having to see them and each one seems more beautiful than the last. I always think of a saying I heard about how Key Westers think that their sunsets are the best in the world =) so true. Of course, I am biased!
We are having a great summer here this year, filled with lots of activities for the boys (and ourselves!). Time is finally starting to slowww down a little bit. We spent yesterday on the boat with mom & dad. It was so nice and we had such a good time. I LOVE BEING ON THE OCEAN. Omigosh, my soul is made of salt water and ocean breeze. It is truly the place that I feel the most at ease. No matter what is troubling me, the ocean makes it all better. I know with this, I will never truly be alone and I will always find healing.
While the summer has been so beautiful (and the pictures will show this in the years to come!), it has been a trying time for me. I learned today (from Molly) that this year, 2017, represents a brand new year, energetically and it is common to receive some "nudges from the universe to release what is no longer serving us." Definitely been happenin' round herr! It is not easy, and I don't always handle it with as much grace as I would like, but I'm getting through.
I wish it wasn't necessary. I wish that every day was as happy as the pictures, but I have been REALLY looking at my ish the last few years and it is not easy! Closing chapters, forgiving ones self and others, and really looking in the mirror and asking "who am I? who do I want to be?". I guess (I really hope) that this is common at my age, where I feel like I am really just entering into adulthood, but trying to hold onto all the good parts of myself as a youth.
So yea, I can only hope that the inner work I am doing now will benefit my future self and the future selves of my little ones and my family! I know there were some doors that needed closin' and skeletons that needed to be put to rest! But, for the most part, I am happy. I am happy to be home, I am happy to be with my family and to be making good memories. So, that's all that really matters and I can only hope to be able to look back on this time of my life fondly.
So here are some pics of our summer 2017! I am working on a little surprise project (for Nick) but it has to wait until the end of the Summer! I hope it turns out as good as I imagine it. So, I will be sure to share it with you here. Good night BanPan. ✨
