Truly You Life Coaching and Grief Recovery Specialist

A prairie view of Oceanside

For so many years travel was not an option.  Work, family, caregiving all kept us close to home and those priorities.  But you grow by exploring the world beyond your own front door and tiny circle.  Travel is one of the best ways to do that!

The sun has returned to the Sunshine Coast

It was disappointing having limited time here on the coast, then having so much of it taken up by the rains that moved in.  We know they were needed and appreciated, but still....


However, they have now passed, so we're trying to spend all the time that we have left enjoying the water.  Wednesday we headed out just to putter.  We were gone all day from 11am until 5, but only put two hours on the engines, as we were so enjoying just sitting and drifting on the water.  It was like glass, and there was no wind to speak of.  Blissful!


I had to get some work done, so I was stretched out on the couch in the cabin working on my computer, while simultaneously staring out the window.  Cecil took his fishing rod, our pillows and blankets up to the upper deck.  Through his line over, stretched out on the seats that he'd put down into a day bed and relaxed.  


We were both lost in our own little worlds when we suddenly heard the 'put-put' sound of a nearby engine.  We looked to find the neatest of boats set up as a home pulling towards us, complete with wicker chairs on the front deck and a windmill going for power.


The owners were just checking as they'd watched the boat floating, but had seen no signs of life.  Wanted to make sure all was well, as it was.  It was very encouraging to know that people care enough to check on the water.  In fact we've met just so very many kind and helpful people both in and around Ladysmith Marina where the boat is moored.  It's been wonderful so far!


Heading back, I put out a call to the Universe to bring me the Orca's I so want to see while we're here.  They didn't come, but three either porpoises or dolphins did.  That was almost as spectacular as the swam along side us, then when we shut down and waited, came over to where we were.  I'd seen them on Monday from the ferry leaving Alert Bay as well.  It's their message that I'm meant to get this time I guess, and their message is always wonderful.  


At the dock, the day before we'd seen something large and reddish in the water the day before.  Didn't know if it was an oversized anemone or what it might have been.  Cecil headed up to the truck ahead of me, and while I sauntered along looking in the water I saw it again, only this time realized it was a huge red jellyfish!  I was able to get some good pictures of it and a short video to show Cecil as he missed it.  All he could think of was thank goodness that it didn't show up beside him when he was in the water cleaning the prop last week.  It most likely would have been the cause of a fatal heart attack!


Along with the seals, and all the crabs we catch and then have to release, we're getting a lovely fill of ocean life here.  The people we are getting to meet and share conversations with are feeding my spirit in the most wonderful way.  All is well with my world.

    Living our Dreams while Health allows

    Cancer came knocking on our door again in July of 2014.  It's visited before, through different times and people, myself included.  This time it dropped by to remind us that life is short and precious.  It came to remind us that in our 50s, things can and likely will change quickly, so start doing what you've been  promising yourself you would do!
