Previously, in
Bahamas Adventures Afoot, I mentioned it was time to move on, from the Santa Rosa Valley manor….from
California. Only I still didn’t know where I was going yet. Along with my
request for leads in that post, I’d also reached out directly to people I
personally knew connected with the Bahamas. Of particular focus were friends in
tropical areas who were also associated with dolphins and whales.
Synchronistically, six individuals recommended I reach out to
WildQuest
in Bimini, Bahamas. WildQuest advocates “One
World, One Pod” and has been respectfully swimming with wild dolphins since
1995. Quite a few folks I knew in the Dolphin/Whale community had led
retreats at WildQuest. However, I’d already been in contact with beautiful
Amlas there and was informed they currently had a full team. Amlas assured
she’d keep me in mind if anything changed. It was still fascinating so many had
pointed me in their direction. I encourage any dolphin lovers to go to their
website to check out the plethora of fantastic dolphin pictures from their
adventures.
Cetacean Friend, Anne Gordon, founder of
Whale and DolphinWisdom Retreats, was one who had suggested contacting WildQuest. I was thrilled when Anne also
invited me to get together with her. What an honor to have the opportunity to finally
meet, face to face, this outstanding trailblazer in the spiritual whale and
dolphin community. Even more exciting, I ended up going on a whale watching
tour with Anne off Dana Point CA. What happened next was beyond anything I could
have imagined. Although thrilling to see a few grey whales surfacing and spouting, it
was the common dolphins that stole the show. We ended up in the middle of not
just a pod, but a super pod of dolphins! I’d never personally seen anything like
it in my life. There were at least a thousand, all around and under our
catamaran. Dolphins as far as the eye could see. Nowhere could I look that
there weren’t dolphins joyfully leaping and playing with us humans in the boat.
The babies frolicking along with them where the icing on my cake. What a gift! I
was ecstatic. No words could begin to describe the enchanted state I was in and
the other worldly transformation that was going on within me through this
profound experience with my Dolphin Family. I returned to the dock, a different
person. Huge thanks to Anne for facilitating this phenomenal experience! Anne Gordon has a number of whale and dolphin retreats coming up in
different countries. Her June Dive Deep into Connection with
Dolphins Retreat
in Bimini, in conjunction with WildQuest, may have a few spots remaining.
Although the Dolphin Bliss Retreat in Bimini is now full, some spaces are still
available for June 2025! Check
Anne’s website for more details!
I was not able to get decent pics of the dolphins for many reasons. If you so choose,
this instagram clip from Blue Tropic Waves might give you a sense of the experience.
Following my magical dolphin encounter, I was guided to
accept the gracious hospitality of a Soul Sister in Santa Barbara CA. It was
much needed sanctuary for me. While others had been extremely kind in hosting
me, this was different. It was quiet and peaceful. I need do nothing. The beach
was down the street should I so choose to visit. In the stillness, I was able
to be present with my own thoughts. I was able to process the

rollercoaster of
happenings of the previous few months. In one of our brief but poignant
interactions, I finally surrendered the tendency to do what was best for others
to the detriment of my own needs. It was in this calm, peaceful, resolute space
that the magic happened. Rainbow after rainbow confirmed the shifting energies. The very next morning, I got an email from the gal who
would be my next host….in the Bahamas! So many phenomenal synchronicities
miraculously fell into place one right after another to enable this manifestation.
My mischievous self created a typical
April Fools’ fb post that I’d won the
lottery (with money shown flying in the air). Hopefully, no fb friends were
harmed in wishing me well for my good fortune. But I
had won the
lottery, in a sense, in that I was headed to the Bahamas!
A grand solar eclipse graced the day before my departure
adding to the incredible energetic shift the dolphins had precipitated prior.
Although I only got to see images of the eclipse in its totality, the visceral
and etheric energetic effects that day were undeniable. My energy, my attitude,
my joy, continued to increase by the minute all the way to the Bahamas. I am abundantly blessed now to be vibrantly alive amidst white sands and turquoise waters.
While not the exact location for “My Place”; no doubt this is the perfect place to serve and just BE that will launch my
next step on my quest or, as my sweet friend Elizabeth puts it, my next lily
pad leap.
Last post I mentioned delight in having my first
personal experience
with a Tower Garden thanks to my host at the time. I was pleasantly surprised when
she sent me photos of the baby plants’ progress. Within only weeks of
our initial planting, many of the greens were ready to be harvested! Pictured
was even a bowl of her healthy salad, freshly picked and immediately enjoyed.
Being a
Juice Plus and
Tower Garden distributor is one of the ways my
journey is supported. I love that it enhances others’ wellbeing at the same
time. If you know anyone whose wellness may be improved by these products,
