Family went surfing today ... found some fun ones to ourselves—next to a bait ball. 🤔 #exerciseduringsocialdistancing #pleasedontclosethebeaches _____________________________________________________ #surf #surflife #beach #beachy #beachyoga #writerslife #surfpics #waves #swell #positivegoals #positivequotes #liveyourlife #photography #surfing #ocean #lovemylife #surfphotography #beachlife #beachlove #minimalism #goodvibesurfing #QLD #author #exercisemotivation #surfquotes

Big News—just signed a book publishing contract with Hachette for my manuscript ‘The Upwelling’. Want more deets? Go to my website (link in my bio) for the full story.

Bob bought this capil (traditional Balinese farmer’s hat) from the local markets at Dreamland Beach and wore it everywhere—even fell asleep with it over his face one night. Here we walked through the chef’s garden (@wyndhamjivvabali), past this rice field and on the way to lunch ... loved seeing all the paddies this side of Bali. Day 8 in self-isolation with home schooling and home office and holiday reminiscing. _____________________________________________________ #surf #surfinglife #writer #beach #beachyoga #writerslife #surfpics #waves #swell #positivegoals #liveyourlife #photography #surfing #ocean #iphonography #lovemylife #surfphotography #beachlife #homeschooling #workfromhome #surfFOMO #travelbugsarebiting #bali #healthyholiday #nofear #selfisolation #Wyndhamdestination #Wyndhamdreamlandbali #wyndhamjivvabali #Wyndhamholiday

We are stronger than we think. This door leads to a beautiful Balinese Spa. Feast or famine, I’m grateful for life. Two weeks ago we were in this Balinese Spa having an amazing massage and a foot bath filled with bright petals. Today we’re in Day 7 of self-isolation, rationing loo paper and food. It is the strength of our minds that determines our emotional reaction during these times. We are not alone ... even in self-isolation there is a sense of togetherness as we all do the right thing for our old people and communities. #strongmindstrongbody Thanks @wyndhamdreamland _____________________________________________________ #surf #surfinglife #writer #beach #beachyoga #writerslife #surfpics #waves #swell #positivegoals #liveyourlife #photography #ocean #lovemylife #beachlife #beachlove #homeschooling #workfromhome #surfFOMO #travelbugsarebiting #bali #healthyholiday #nofear #selfisolation #Wyndhamdestination #Wyndhamdreamlandbali #Wyndhamholiday

Last week’s office views in Bali @wyndhamdreamland ... this is what I call a writer’s retreat. Day 6 self-isolation: flexing those writing muscles. _____________________________________________________ #surf #surfinglife #writer #beach #beachyoga #writerslife #surfpics #waves #swell #positivegoals #liveyourlife #photography #surfing #ocean #iphonography #lovemylife #surfphotography #beachlife #beachlove #homeschooling #workfromhome #surfFOMO #travelbugsarebiting #bali #healthyholiday #nofear #selfisolation #Wyndhamdestination #Wyndhamdreamlandbali #Wyndhamholiday

My eleven-year-old daughter took this sunrise photo flying over the Gold Coast. Most of us will have more time at home with self-isolation, self-distancing, etc., (Day 5 self-isolation). Hope you find time to write, read, play music, garden, cook, sew, craft, paint—whatever feeds your creativity. #happyweekend _____________________________________________________ #surf #surfinglife #writer #beach #beachyoga #writerslife #surfpics #waves #swell #positivegoals #liveyourlife #photography #surfing #ocean #iphonography #lovemylife #surfphotography #beachlove #homeschooling #workfromhome #surfFOMO #travelbugsarebiting #baliplaneviews #healthyholiday #nofear #selfisolation #create #creative #notimelikethepresent

W.B. Yeats wrote, “The world is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits (senses) to grow sharper.” Finding magic in everyday things is easy overseas—Dreamland Beach walks with mossy green cliffs. But we’re also finding magical moments at home too ... sharpening our senses on Day 4 in self-isolation with journal writing, scrapbooking, backyard play, and re-telling funny stories. Thank you @wyndhamdreamland _____________________________________________________ #surf #surfinglife #writer #beach #beachyoga #writerslife #surfpics #waves #swell #positivegoals #liveyourlife #photography #surfing #ocean #iphonography #lovemylife #surfphotography #beachlife #beachlove #homeschooling #workfromhome #surfFOMO #travelbugsarebiting #bali #healthyholiday #nofear #selfisolation #wyndhamdestinations #wyndhamdreamlandbali #wyndhamholidays

Jivva, Bali, had black sandy beaches that sparkled in the sunlight. It’s weird being home and not walking on our local beach or surfing our turquoise sea ... it’s normally the first thing we do when we get back home. It’s home to us. Day 3 in self-isolation. @wyndhamjivvabali @wyndhamdestinations _____________________________________________________ #surf #surfinglife #writer #beach #beachyoga #writerslife #surfpics #waves #swell #positivegoals #liveyourlife #photography #surfing #ocean #iphonography #lovemylife #surfphotography #beachlife #beachlove #homeschooling #workfromhome #surfFOMO #travelbugsarebiting #bali #healthyholiday #nofear #blacksandbeach #blacksand #bali #selfisolation #day3

Social distancing was easy in Bali. Yep, those dots in the pool are us—only us. Day 2 in self-isolation in Oz. Mattresses carpet our lounge while we rest and binge on movies ... thankful we’re happy and healthy. #holidayv2 Thanks to @wyndhamjivvabali for looking after us. We miss Bali. ______________________________________________________ #surf #surfinglife #beach #beachyoga #writerslife #surfpics #waves #swell #positivegoals #liveyourlife #photography #surfing #ocean #iphonography #lovemylife #surfphotography #beachlife #beachlove #drone #blacksandbeach #homeschooling #workfromhome #surfFOMO #travelbugsarebiting #bali #healthyholiday #selfisolation
