  • Last week we were at the beach in San Diego, and found pretty little sand dollars. My son loved this tiny one, holding it carefully, offering it to me as a little present. ⠀ ⠀ It's a sweet reminder that the best gifts are free and freely given, and often cost nothing. ⠀ ⠀ What gifts have touched your heart this week? Share them here and tag a friend if they've inspired you <3⠀ ⠀ #sanddollar #missionbeachsandiego #sandiego #gratitude #thursdaythoughts #countyourblessings ⠀ #jumpstartyourjoy #entrepreneurmotivation #lovewins #choosejoy #sharethelove

  • Tiny opened clams on the beach. My 3 year old niece and I ran, picking them up. "angels, auntie, angels!," she cheered as she saw each one. Yes, they are. She saw each one for its divinity. No matter the color or size, each of us is an angel. Each of us deserves to be greeted with the love and delight my niece has for these sweet shells. #missionbeach #southerncalifornia #beachvacation #summer2017 #sandiego #california #tinyclam #eachofusmatters #nohate #nohatejustlove #jumpstartyourjoy #choosejoy
  • Mission beach sunset. The kids have been playing in the sand after dinner, and we were serenaded by a rollerblader singing "I want it that way" (see the second photo). It's such a nonstop parade of joy on the strand. #iwantitthatway #beachvacation #sandiego #sandiegomeanswhalesvagina #missionbeach #nktobsb #backstreetboys #summer2017 #ohthesummernights #southerncalifornia #skyporn #sunset #tower17

  • Do flowers ever remind you of people? My grandmother had a beautiful row of yellow roses in front of her home and they remind me of her every time I see them.⠀ Yellow roses at the amazing Santa Barbara Mission. ⠀ ⠀ #thursdaythoughts #yellowrose #inspiration #jumpstartyourjoy #grandmotherslove #grandmothershouse #santabarbaramission
