Home – Local joy ☺
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009Home is sacred. If home is in our hearts as surfers we can feel more at home in the ocean than on land. Surfing soothes our body, mind and soul. It’s like the ocean is always beckoning us into the water to experience its magic. The ocean can bring us to life as we play [...]

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009Free
Life is simple.
Eat. Sleep. Surf.
We are free ☺
Breathe: in… out…
Love like you’ve never been hurt
Dance like no one is watching
And surf like super stars
The ocean is sacred
It’s so much fun being water babies and playing in the waves
Whether they are two foot or twenty foot
Flow with it and enjoy yourselves
On a recent holiday I had [...] -

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009This past week has been amazing.
A few weeks ago a friend said to me, “get comfortable with feeling uncomfortable to expand your comfort zone.”
Success means to step out and try a new path, not the same old paths you have travelled along for years.
This builds your confidence and power.
There are no mistakes – only learning.

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009Waking up this morning
I smile
Twenty-four brand new hours are before me.
I vow to live fully in each moment and to
look at all beings with the eyes of compassion.
Thich Nhat Hahn
The clouds are so beautiful in the sky this morning.
As I look to the right there is an open sky -
blue, lilac
and beneath that pale pink.

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009Post first surf of the day
Smiling ☺
“Every man and his dog is out here!” said my friend as he paddled past in the surf.
He makes me laugh so much.
That was a few afternoons ago. After school time – peak hour!
Thousands of grommets and the workers who have knocked off for the day.
So you can imagine [...] -

“Oh my gosh I have made a come back to planet earth!” I turn to my friend and we laugh so much.
Jumping around my living room and hyping ourselves up with dance music we feel so joyful.
No time to waste -
Let’s go surf!
We run out the door with all of the essentials. So organsied with [...] -

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009Morning walk
It’s 8:36am
I just returned from a morning walk.
The air is so fresh and clean.
It has been raining all night
and was gently drizzling as I left home early this morning.
Of course I had my comforting green rain jacket with its big hoody
to protect me if it was to pour.
I was awake at the crack of [...] -

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009If we choose our response let’s choose love…
Unconditional love for our selves means being present.
Alive, awake and alert in the present moment.
Savouring the beauty of now – the gifts nature has to offer and the blessings that we have.
Surfing in the ocean cleanses our bodies and souls. It’s soothes our minds.
Ocean tonic
Pure peace
