I absolutely love this ❤️ What a gorgeous moment, for both of you! And I can relate to the struggles with letting go too 😅 I've been told in every possible way you can image. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. It's a journey.

That's one of the best things about getting out in nature period is when you actually open yourself to listening, is being able to hear what speaks to you.

Loved this! I'm planning to start the next year with a surf class here in Rio de Janeiro, and up till now the whole idea was based on the adventure side! Now, I'm not only more eager to do that, but happy to know the emotional part of it! Is absolutely necessary in this moment of my life, so thanks for sharing!

This is just what I needed to read. I am heading to Maui for a solo trip on the 25th. And I was thinking of reaching out to someone for a surf lesson. This just reminded I need to do, say yes to the adventure! So yes to the allowing to just go be with the ocean. Thank you!

Wow this was such a beautiful share, thank you Marie. I love that you went for it, did the thing and also let yourself be vulnerable. I'm sure that experience is one you'll never forget and will apply its lessons to so many future situations that may come up. I'd love love love to try surfing one day, and I can only hope that I have someone as helpful as Ito!

Very nice Marie. I love that you have started to pay attention. Maybe you did before but lately it reads like your senses are alert and ready - let the flow catch you
