When thoughts are colliding in my head and there seems to be no reprieve, I head for the place my heart and soul feels peace and rest. I head for the water, the salty air and the whipping wind. On Saturday, I drove down to Warneet with my faithful dog and neglected camera.

| My best girl Maya. I don't know what I would do without my faithful companion who loves me in the best way a dog possibly can. She loves getting out and about almost as much as I do. |

| I found myself drawn to the different angles and lines of this scene and wanted to capture it as best I could. |
The wind and the sea air worked their magic. I found myself slowly coming back into my skin again after threatening to shatter and splinter and spin off in all directions. It's been a good thing to learn, this listening to my body and soul and discovering how to self-soothe. Once upon a time I would have desperately sought to find someone to anchor me down and reassure me that everything is okay. No longer. I know what I need. I know I am ok, just as I am...and even when things feel like they're spinning out of control they're actually not. I just need to go to a place where I can breathe and come back to myself again.
I'm so happy you have a spot that can bring you back from the edge :) The water does the same for me, bringing calm, peace and often times much perspective to my days.
