Sometimes.....it actually is real, you just need to look a little closer!

So, I'm most definitely a sunrise person, not that I don't love a spectacular sunset and the beauty, color and splendor that accompanies it. But the sunrise speaks to my soul...😊

Sitting on the beach in that magical time, just before the sun sets fire to the skies - It's that moment of hope....that you have a clean start, another chance....that maybe, just maybe, everything will be absolutely fine after all. I've told my secrets to the sea, and the waves have washed away the memories I'd rather forget, and leaves me with a feeling of calm and hope.

The sun peeks through the clouds as it appears to grow on the horizon, I can close my eyes and feel the warmth on my face - the breeze blows through my hair, I hear the waves lapping, sometimes crashing, on the beach. I feel renewed, replenished, connected with my world - this is truly being "present"....Listening to the wind and the waves, I can completely close out any worries, stress, anxieties, or concerns, and for that moment in time, I can just "be", "be me", in its purest form.

When your mind is so completely calm and free...you believe in magic and miracles. To feel so totally unencumbered, time stands still, and before long you can feel the possibilities and know that absolutely anything is possible - even living your dream life...

My Atlantic Life 💗

Many people, on seeing the picture above of "My Atlantic Sunrise", assume it's a painting - it's not. I took this photo one morning, whilst sipping my coffee on the beach. The palette of colors that the sunrise created that day, were absolutely incredible....almost surreal. When I had the print put on canvas, it accentuated the illusion of a painting even more....but it is most definitely an actual photo.

Sometimes we make assumptions about things, pictures, conversations, communications...and yes, people - snap decisions on what, and who they are. I'd love to take this opportunity to remind you that, just like the illusion of a painting, which in fact is a photo....we should look a little closer, and listen a little deeper, before we jump to prejudge others. What you see isn't always the true picture - and more often than not, the true picture is far more interesting and way more beautiful.

Have an Awesome Day!
