No matter what happens this week, we, as individua

No matter what happens this week, we, as individuals, get to choose what type of people we want to be, how we view the world, and how we treat those we share it with. ✨

We choose what type of energy we put out into our surroundings and while it may be small, silly, or perceived as frivolous, I’m back to painting my #wordrocks in the hopes that they encourage and brighten the day of whomever finds them. 🌞

Spread love. Spread kindness. Spread hope. It’s not lost, even if it feels like it sometimes. 💛

Sending love and light your way with my Care Bear stare 🌈 #shineon #youmatter #loveisallaround #hopeisnotlost

I’ve been craving #islandtime something fierce lately - it’s been almost a year since I’ve been on a beach in the Caribbean and that just feels unacceptable 🙈🌴 #sooncome

This definitely brought some tropical joy into my life today in the mail - the new Caribbean Preferred Island Discount Card by the @caribbeancastaways 🤗

This cool new membership gets you deals throughout the tropics. 🌈 Some of my favorite island businesses are participating, including @honeymoon_beach_st_john (pictured here). ✨

If you plan on traveling in the #Caribbean in the future, definitely snag one for yourself to take advantage of All. The. Discounts. 🙌🏽 And let’s meet up in paradise, shall we? ✈️⛵️🏖

Kept cool this weekend on the water in this blasting October sunshine ☀️🌴

Such a great time getting our SUP on with @biscaynepaddle - the newest addition to the Sunset Harbour watersports game 🏄🏾‍♀️

Rick and his team are so wonderfully kind and give you the full service experience complete with dry bags, waterproof cases for your phones, water, storage, and more! 🙌🏽 I love how they also donate a portion of their proceeds towards saving the bay 💛🌈

“Your heart and my heart are very very old friends.” 💛⁣
⁣
One of my very best friends in the world left the earth today. It already feels unspeakably lonely to know I’ll never get a call from her again, never laugh until we cry together again, never receive one of her handmade cards again, never take another trip with her again. ⁣
⁣
That’s the worst thing this pandemic has taken - the ability to say goodbye in person and hug my dear friend who was dying one last time. #fuckyoucovid⁣
⁣
We met as neighbors and instantly recognized each other as long lost soul sisters, just born a few decades apart. Mary brought so much joy and years of deep, meaningful friendship into my life that I’ll always cherish. I’ll be forever grateful we were brought together in this life and I hope so much that our souls will meet again someday. ⁣
⁣
I really don’t want to live in this world without her. But since I have to, I’ll take forth the zest for all life has to offer that we shared as 7s. Today, I’m both mourning and celebrating the life of this incredible human. My life is far brighter having had her in it. I’ll love you always, Mary.

Ocean Drive happy hours look a little different these days (miss you deeply @palacesobe 🌈) but cruising around on the bike with @islanddogdiego is not too shabby either ☺️🌴🚲🐾 #lifeisstillgood #miamibeachlife #liveinthesunshine
