we need jackets at the beach!?

This past weekend was cold. I mean cold. I'm an island girl and my bones are made for the sunshine. So when Dan and I decided to go for a walk along Alkai Beach, he wasn't kidding when he told me to bring gloves and a scarf! I always tend to underestimate just how cold I'll get outside. And I'm sure my friends in colder much snowier places are laughing at me right now. But hey... we climatize to our environment, right? :) 

There is something really special about the beaches here in Washington. They have a different allure than the tropical ones I'm used to. 

I can honestly say that I've never had to wear a scarf and boots to the beach before now. ;)

inspire me.

With the world today, it's easy to get caught up with all the negative we see plastered all over the news screen. There are times where I know I feel utterly hopeless in a sea of negative footage and rhetoric. So I try and balance out the type of news I read each and every day. I've become a big fan of the "good news" section that you can often find on your favorite news source. After all life is about balance, right?

I stumbled across this clip yesterday and I knew I had to share. It brought me to tears. So inspiring. If you have the time, please watch this. It will make your heart melt, I promise. :)
