It’s what I have always had in my heart ever since I was a child. When you understand and open your eyes to the cycle of life and death which we all are apart of, you realise you have to enjoy yourself and live with values of such as non violences to all beings and also if someone in your life is upsetting you remove that person if the person continues to upset you. Look forward to reading your blog 😉

What a fantastic trip, beautiful pictures and beautiful you are with your summer dress is very nice. Your beautiful skin should be protected from the sun, we must not attack our body. You look fantastic.

Thanks for stopping by, Suzanne!
No sandy beach nearby, but at least the spring has arrived and we’ll go to a beach in the summer about an hour and a half drive from where we live. Where is your closest beach?
Have a fabulous week!!
