Dearest Darling,

Hello from hibernation! I’m taking some time out from my personal retreat by the sea to send you love, inspiration and reflection. During my 3 day retreat, I’ve been spending lots of time going within, reflecting, laughing, crying, meditating running by the sea, soaking in the bathtub and staring at the ocean. I even had the honor and delight of calling in dolphins last night at sunset…I wept when they showed up. WOW!

I made a video from the balcony of the B & B I’m staying at for you. (The volume is a bit high due to the crashing waves…so you may want to turn down your speakers!) Watch it and drink in some ocean air with me.

2012 Lessons that I’m bringing into 2013:

• Support and team are key to my happiness and success.
• The light can do the healing work.
