Coconuts
I’m all about coconut trees and 80 degrees

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate? — Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Eternal summer
Quote from @honeypieliving
Drops of Jupiter
Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair,
She acts like summer and walks like rain.
Reminds me that there’s a time to change. — Train
In this morning twilight view from the island of Djerba, Tunisia, the crescent Moon is in close conjunction with planet Jupiter, and Venus is also just below the pair. (Photographer Babak Tafreshi)
The big catch
The big catch that almost was 😎
Summer
Hair gets lighter.
Skin gets darker.
Water gets warmer.
Drinks get colder.
Music gets louder.
Nights get longer.
Life gets better.

Smell the sea and feel the sky. Let your soul and spirit fly — Van Morrison
All we are saying …
A message of peace left behind at the beach
Love is in the air
No heart rocks found on the beach this evening, but as I turned to leave and looked up at the sunset, this was waiting for me. I’ll take it.

Summer is already here with temperatures in the 90’s, lapping waves, and aqua blue hues. Love 💙

Planet Jupiter
Check out the blue ocean-like design within the middle stripe on planet Jupiter. Tonight, Jupiter shines high in the southeast as the stars come out, and it will be the brightest point of light on that side of the sky. It will pass highest in the south around 10 p.m. daylight-saving time.
Beach art
Heart rocks, pebbles, and shells collected from Jupiter Beach and embellished with gold and silver
A pair
Each kite has 4 lines, so another kite is above the red one but out of view in this shot. Some days I’ve counted 20 kitesurfers riding the waves, and I’ve never seen them get their kites or lines crossed. A true sport.

Believe
She said, I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.
— Audrey Hepburn

The feng shui of crystals
Bring some crystals into your home, such as rose quartz, which emanates specific frequencies that promote heart healing; or citrine, which attracts wealth and abundance. Always cleanse your crystals when you first place them in your home (submerge in water with or without salt) as this resets their vibration to be receptive to the new home and new owner. Always place your crystals in good energy areas such as your main entry table and living room.
Happy New Year!
Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right — Oprah Winfrey
“Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one.” — Brad Paisley
