I am the luckiest woman on the planet! Each morning, I slowly rise and walk a nature path to the beach. The beach path is canopied with trees, and I am delighted and surprised each morning by the smells, sounds, and sights of the magic of nature.
I arrive at the beach and the weather of the moment greets my physical form and there is a pause and a moment of AWE. I then begin my familiar route south on my routine beach walk greeting all the members of the Sunrise Beachwalker’s Club as I begin my morning journey.
Often as I begin on the beach path, I first see no stress Jess and her little Chihuahua, Super Guy, following closely behind her beautiful, gorgeous presence. Jess is a “Barbie Doll” come to life. She is always stunning in presence, smiling, and full of morning zeal. She is now joined by her handsome hubby Paul. I have assumed the elder sage role and am delighted at the utter beauty of these two humans now in the bubble of new Love! My heart sings as I witness this family being born. We bid farewell for now and see you!
As my dear dog Scruffy and I walk closer to the water, we see “Dancing Girl”. She is a skinny, middle aged woman with earphones, dancing, acknowledging my membership in the Sunrise Beachwalker’s Club with eye contact, a nod, and a finger motion to the beat of the song playing now. She dances on down the beach in the opposite direction.
A little further down the beach I see Linda the “Bird Lady” with the flock of the day. She lovingly feeds the sandpipers, seagulls and ibis and rescues them when injured or in need. She takes special care of the peacocks and their chicks. She lovingly cares for the neighborhood feral cats who greet her each morning as she walks the beach path. The sandpipers run to greet her as she exits her bike on her morning ride. It is a miracle to witness.
Linda is also the Akashic Record keeper of the Sunrise Beachwalker’s Club. She photographs each sunrise with artistic enthusiasm and joy. She photographs the water, the skies, the seashells, the flowers, the moon, the birds, the dogs and cats. It is evident she loves nature and animals more than people. We are gifted with her talents on social media every day. If for any reason Linda is not present, there is an instant knowing by the club members and much Love is radiated her way. The club is forever grateful for “The Bird Lady” and our beloved Akashic Record Keeper.
As I continue my walk on the beach, gentle waves splashing over my feet and Scruffy’s paws we see the fellas of the beach club. The Cuban shirt guy, tall Santa, the “wave guy” on the bike, walk in the water with coffee guy, and the grumpy city beach maintenance guy in his 4-wheeler with a teddy bear strapped in next to him. Each gentleman smiles, gives a nod and carries on with the business of the morning beach walk. One exception-the grumpy city maintenance guy rarely smiles, just nods and carries on with the beach maintenance of the day. He ignores the “dogs are not allowed” on the beach policy with me and Scruffy and other dog lovers. He is ok.
One of the highlights of the morning journey is seeing George, our beach ambassador. George is always fishing but I have never seen him catch a fish. He only casts. George has the biggest smile, the warmest greeting, and radiates the biggest Love. He joyously announces each morning, “It is a beautiful morning! We are so fortunate! Can you believe this!” He smiles with the brightness of God! I feel his Love every morning. I am sure George is an Angel.
George is also the census taker for the Sunrise Beachwalker’s Club. If there is a member missing for any length of time George is on it inquiring and mustering prayers, meditations and hope for the missing member. Once all the members are present again George announces the news to each one of us during our morning walks. It is all so reassuring.
I pass the cute middle-aged couple that have been married forever and kind of look alike, pony tail girl and her cute bikini self, Carol the intense beach walker with a hat and on a mission, and a few other loved faces. Each member of the Sunrise Beachwalker’s Club amuses me every day.
As my morning walk nears the end, I meet up with my soul sisters Elisa and Jenn. We hug, laugh, tell stories, and stand together in the morning light of the rising sun together. We sun gaze in silence. Our mitochondria are activated as are our heart chakras. The light changes and the shades of colors unfold magnificently as pink, purple, orange, yellow, magenta, purple and then it transfers to just light and then clear blue. And the day begins.
Upon leaving the beach on the walkway lined with trees and memorials of past Beachwalker Club members I see my best friend forever Shelley and her dog Hero. My dear friend Shelley is the epitome of sunshine bliss and blessedness. Shelley has the brightest blue eyes that hold the wisdom of God, joy, and peace. She has been such a beautiful friend and mirror to me for two decades. I have learned that my dear friend will soon be moving away from our beloved beach. It makes each moment so very precious now. I hug Shelley and we make a plan to connect later in the day. My heart is so full and I feel Loved!
I end my morning walk with a tree hug to my favorite Live Oak and enter back on to the beach path that leads to my home. I am the luckiest member of the Sunrise Beachwalker’s Club. I know community builds immunity and that the acknowledgements of Love to our neighbors, friends and family is vitally important to thrive.
I am forever grateful for this beach life! I am so honored to be part of this club, this community, and this time.
Join our membership as our community builds New Earth and makes America Healthy Again!
