In the winter of 2023, I found myself called to go to the ocean in order to facilitate change and transformation in my life. I had just ended my first foray into "dating" and realized that the smallness I'd convinced myself to settle for was too far beneath my dreams to sit in comfortably. So, at 30, single, and needing greatly to reconnect with my dreams, I booked a ticket for me and Hamsie to go to Carolina Beach. This trip was my first time visiting the Carolina Coast, and I must say the energy there is magical. On one of my first mornings on the shore, dolphins swam just a few paces away. I love being by the ocean and this trip reminded me that She is there whenever I need her, even *if* it's a quick plane ride away.
