White Sand and Turquoise Water

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
My Wood Dragon

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, perhaps yourself, please contact me. You can find more information by clicking on the links above as well. For those who currently bless me by acquiring these products through me, profuse thanks and continued good health to you.

Of course, big gratitude to all of you who have graced my journey with your presence, love and support. Whether your first time reading any of my writings, or you were there with me in the beginning, you all play important roles which I deeply appreciate. Atlantean vibes and blessings of the sea 🌊🐬🌊
