Empowered

As I sat on the beach, wrapped up in my coat, facing my friends + family, sun beating down on my face, I suddenly was overcome with pure joy, literally radiating through my heart. The sand beneath me was soft. The sea a magnificence azure blue, sparkling as the sun reflected its beams down on it. Our children ran around in the rock pools beside us, sun kissed, sandy, free. I let my body fall backwards + I lay in the sand, with my hands pressed deep into it. I took some deep breaths + exclaimed: “I have rarely been happier than I am in this moment.”
