I need the sun, sand and ocean to rejuvenate my spirit, the food to enliven my body and all of the familiar places, friends and family to revitalize my soul. I go for replenishment. For a kind of love that I truly know. For a place of belonging, always.

Forgiveness isn't simply an option or a good idea; it is mandatory for our restorative process.

I love to paint. It's more of a hobby, but people love the paintings so much that I end up selling whatever I paint.

Yoga is vital because it keeps me in full awareness and connection with my breath.

Anything that provokes a visceral or spiritual response and ignites my senses. Whether it's listening to the ocean, dancing to a song I adore, feeling the wind across my face, sampling a fantastic new dish, or witnessing a phenomenal show, if I experience it before I can even think about it, it makes me come alive.

I keep a gratitude log, which helps to remind me of all the blessings I experience daily.

I need the sun, sand and ocean to rejuvenate my spirit, the food to enliven my body and all of the familiar places, friends and family to revitalize my soul. I go for replenishment. For a kind of love that I truly know. For a place of belonging, always.
