🌅 Soul Notes from the Oregon Coast - 1 YEAR AGO!
Sometimes healing looks like closing the studio door and stepping barefoot into the ocean.
My trip to the Oregon Coast was pure medicine for the soul — endless waves, salt-kissed air, and time spent with two of the people who have known and loved me the longest: my mom and my aunt. 💖
Each evening, we watched the sun melt into the horizon, awaiting the green flash, quiet, golden, sacred.
Every day, I walked the beach barefoot, watched surfers dance with the tide, and even spotted whales playing just offshore. It all felt a little Goonies-esque near Cape Meares — wild, nostalgic, and deeply alive.
One afternoon, we flew a kite in honor of my dad — gone five years now, but forever carried in the wind. He loved visiting the local kite shop, spending hours choosing, building, and trying to fly them. The hosts of our stay kept a large kite for visitors, and it was such joyful, childlike fun to lift it into the sky — as if sending a little hello his way. 🪁💨
Time with my mom is precious, and I’m endlessly grateful to be able to pause, travel, and do what heals. I highly recommend this beautiful stretch of coast if you ever need to breathe, reset, and remember yourself.
And next time. . . I’m already dreaming of a simple solo retreat — just me, the ocean, and a journal. 🌿
Nurture yourself. Support your community. Let’s make this season sacred together. 💖
In Love + Light + Kites,
Tina 💖✨🪁
