Resilience is learning to fall without falling apart; it is learning how to crash without burning.

Island mindfulness is the awareness that each of us is a small but significant voice in the world and that the world needs us to have the peace of mind to live and love harmoniously. Although we may be surrounded by water (literally or figuratively), the mind has the ability to ride the waves of life and find calm in the midst of all the sun, wind, and rain that will touch our lives. By focusing on mindful living and being, the mind, heart, and soul can be Irie (at peace).

We are nature. We are multi-layered. Explore each part of your being. Get to the core. Don't let anything or anyone stop you from being authentically you. Janet autherine

We don’t achieve every dream, but we achieve every dream that is aligned with our destiny. If you are standing on the deck watching your sailboat leave, trust that you were not meant for that journey.

When you understand your inner self — your passions, motivations, moral code and vulnerabilities, you don’t have to blow in the wind of someone else’s expectations; you can stand firm in your own truth.
