Where do I begin… and how do I make it stop? Me, sleepless in the night.

If I Were a Mermaid
If I were a mermaid what would my name be? Hidden deep in Greek mythology lies the mythological siren creatures of the sea, the mermaids.
Have you met one?
Is it folklore or do they lurk the ocean? Do you ever think about them when you’re swimming? I do! I’ve spent a good deal of my life watching the waves move back and forth on the shore wondering if mermaids are out there, imagining what it would be like to see one reveal themselves to me. To actually communicate!
Mermaids are often a tagline for millions of sea lovers who are bedazzled by the ideology of being like a mermaid, but really… who is?
I love the ocean and beach more than anyone else I’ve ever known and I know I’m no mermaid. And if I were a mermaid my name would be Ocean. What would your mermaid name be?
Happy trails!

Seasons are Changing
The seasons are changing and it’s the perfect time to get around and enjoy yourself.
It was 80+ when we left for the mountain trip and 34 when we arrived just 350 miles away. We’ve had snow for the past 3 days and it was fun to see. And the cold air showed up too! Did I tell you it freezing here, 26 degrees.
The snow was a bonus this trip, we really hadn’t expected it in the Spring although we have seen it on the blue ridge before. It’s so beautiful up here in the hills! The sky and stars simply rule and the moon keeps everything moving.
I’ve slept a lot this week which you all know I’m an insomniac so this felt really nice to sleep. If I could sleep this well at home it would amazing!
We are leaving Sunday so tmw we will explore downtown. I love a small town like Boone and West Jefferson. The folks are real and kind. Just sweet to their core.
Did I say it’s freezing up here??
Meet me here for my updates you would enjoy so happy trails

Beach Days Are Here!
I wonder
Finally, It’s Springtime
The magical season of Spring has arrived with all its rejuvenating beauty of pretty flowers, colorful tulips, and fresh newness in the air. Somehow, with the arrival of a new season comes the anticipation of excitement of a fresh start.
And the best part, winter is over!
My favorite part of Spring is more daylight hours and less darkness. Waking up when the sun is shining bright and your body feels more light climbing out of bed. I admit I’m not motivated by gray skies. Spring allows us to have more time to get outdoors and enjoy the weather. The benefits are endless:
Vitamin D, fresh fruits like strawberries and cherries, floral aromas like jasmine blooming, creativity, mood boosters just to name a few.
So bring on the happy and say goodbye to the blues of winter – remember the best is yet to come – Summertime.

Are You Waiting to Find A Message In A Bottle?
Are you waiting to find a message in a bottle? You are not alone.
A message in a bottle
How many times have you read the best selling book Message in a Bottle written by my favorite author, Nicholas Sparks? Or watched the movie version of the story released back in 1999? Once, twice, or so many times the DVD is worn and scratched?
Just when you think it can’t get any worse, it can. And just when you think it can’t get any better, it can – Nicholas Sparks
In short, it’s a story about a woman who finds a romantic love letter in a bottle washed up on the shore, and she tracks down the man who wrote it. The letter tugs at the heart strings of the woman who finds it and becomes obsessed with the deep love, sadness and struggle the writer describes for his lost wife.
The movie, (filmed mostly here…
