The day a twelve-year-old became my new favorite surfing buddy. To be fair, she was a really rad twelve year old. To be fair to her, I am a pretty chill (childish) adult. I would say she was the more confident one. We eyed each other for a while, and finally I hooted at one of her waves, to which she replied, “I see you catching some good ones too.” . The next time I saw her was Valentine’s day. She paddled right over. “Hi!” Definitely not shy. We caught up on the basics. She, nine years living here, school closed last month with the earthquakes, hasn’t re-opened. Typical. Surfs mostly with her dad, just down the beach a little. . “We call that spot Ca-Mica, because my name is Cassy and his is Mica. I think I might go surf down there later when there’s more people at the lighthouse. Sometimes they cheer for me. I want to show off,” she stated matter of factly, owning it. “Come show off with me.” . . .

A beautiful mess...when the space you've built for yourself must grow to hold another person. When your meticulously curated order is disrupted, to become a wonderfully cozy disorder. Evidence that someone you love is sharing a life that you love. That squishing to the edge of the bed is worth the giggles as you fall asleep, the reminder of what a sister feels like. That dancing around piles of clothes is worth the comraderie that inconvenience brings. That when you come to a point where connection is worth more than perfection, you can always make room for a beautiful mess. . Miss you already @hotpinkocean!!!

The little things:)

Guests please! The princess loft is ready for your visit @hotpinkocean. Pink of course! . (Improvements to paint and lighting and airflow soon to come...watch your head, don't fall through the hole, hope there are no spiders...) . Welcome! . Thanks @glide________ for the kickstart and help:) . @jenabgreen you will fit perfectly! . @paetypoo @artbyadren I'm lookin' at you too! 😏 . . . . . #womenwhobuild #shacklife #islandlife #tinyhome #rinconpr #womenwhotravel #knowinghome

Future love of my life...if you can deal with shacks and islands and long talks and quality time...then I promise to wash my feet before I come to bed! 😳...most nights . . . . . #shacklife #islandlife #womancave #singlelady #solotravel
