Beach and Ballet

The beach and ballet are 2 things very dear to my heart.  

I love the beach.  I grew up camping with my family on the beach every summer since I was a pipsqueak and grew up surfing with my dad since I was 7 years-old.  Ballet is also something I did as a small child and a bit here and there just for fun.  I tell people I think God created my body to dance.  It makes my soul happy!  So many things do, and  now I get to share these loves with my loves!

Rocks.

January coastline.

Welcome to the French Riviera in the winter.

Birds!

Seagulls will be seagulls.

They were playing in the wind currents.

My sweetums.

When did she get so big? 

Oh man, I love this kid!

Watching the seagulls.

Morning café and a pain au chocolat.

Trying on mama's heels.

She's back in them after her bath.

Mama getting ready to go to the ballet with papa.

She's such a sweet little tiny person.

And here we are inside the Théâtre National de Nice (TNN) where I actually danced in 2013 and 2014 =).  We saw a ballet rendition of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by the Monte Carlo ballet company.  It was lovely.

What else makes my soul come to life?

Dancing // dancing myself, watching others dance

Hiking // exploring God's beautiful creation 

Live music // playing it, listening to it

Singing // it makes me so happy 

Beach // just being there, surfing!

Traveling // flying, airports, new places

Tonio // sharing life's adventure with him

Daphné // being her mama, learning so much from her

Jesus // without Him my soul has no hope, I love Him so much!

He has given me life, my every breath.

If you don't know Him, I invite you to read how.

What makes your soul come to life?
