I was having a bit of a hard morning the other day and instead of heading straight to the studio, I decided to take a detour to go to the beach under the Golden Gate Bridge.
The ocean is always the place that will fill up my heart and to walk alongside it --is a privilege. The sound of the waves calms the soul and breathing in the salt air is so restorative. The air is cold, and I enjoyed feeling my heart and body warm up over the walk.
My Mother said to me recently that when the world feels too much or you're having a hard day, go to a place that feels larger than life to you....a place where you realize how small you are on this earth and there are so many bigger and more important things. And there you will realize and find that your purpose in life is about making a contribution and not letting things get you down. She would walk through the Metropolitan Museum in New York through all the great halls of history to feel this.
I go to the ocean. Always have.
