Sanibel Island got wholloped by Hurricane Ian, but repairs are being made and the beaches are open! Is it a bad thing to have the beach to yourself? Normally I would say no, but Sanibel Island is open and the beaches are beautiful and it’s such a shame more people aren’t here to enjoy it.

    I walked from Tarpon Beach to Lighthouse beach back in January. Saw full refrigerators...dumpsters...embedded in the sand. There she was...still standing, that beautiful sign of resiliency, our Sanibel Strong Lighthouse!!! I spent months having the beach to myself most days.

    "Just show me a shell and I'll tell you something I like about it." ----can't love this quote more!!

    Thank you so much for taking me back to my old stomping grounds. I love seeing how much repairs they have done to her. She is still in ICU but she's looking better each time you go to our favorite gal, Sanibel.

    Like a Phoenix, Sanibel is risen from the ashes. I was so worried for Sanibel during Ian, happy to see she is still beautiful and has shells. Lovely walk too. Stay safe xx

    The part I enjoyed the most today was the last with your poem and the five doves, beautiful!

    Thank you for another peaceful, informative adventure. I look forward to spending time with you every week. It is my mindfulness time! ❤️🐚

    Oh Lighthouse Beach….😢. The view of the parking lot is quite a sight. Thanks for the walk and see!

    I’m about to say something I’ve never told anyone. Long ago (early 90’s) I had the most magical encounter with a gentleman on a beach on Sanibel. I’d give anything to be with him again. He lived there and I was just a naive Vermonter…. We Vermonters obviously haven’t a sea coast. My memory is still vivid. My heart breaks in learning the beautiful island’s damage. My love and prayers for it’s thrive.

    "Show me a shell, and I'll probably tell you something I like about it." 🥰 Me too, although you've given me a new appreciation for some of them, like the prickly cockle. I'll be admiring their purple interiors now! I've been watching for some months now but only recently been able to comment (finally figured out I needed a you tube channel to post comments). Love your positivity!!

  • @mariejung73
    Cool to see all the different egg casings
  • @justyp
    Hey, thanks for the trash pickup you’re doing! When I walk my dog up here in pinellas, I do the same. Nice for wherever your neighborhood is!!
  • @donnanicolazzo8577
