Hi all! Are you not just gorgeously twinkling with Summer in the air? Or is it just me? It is my middle name, after all. And my favorite season, of course.

Now that school is out for the season, I have been spending some time going to my favorite place.

It is somewhere that I can just be me.

Although I am not adorned in my typical wears in this locale, I am effortlessly myself. Just like on stage in my red Ferragamos. Any ideas?

The beach!

Although there are many occasions in which a proper dress is suitable for the beach to serve as a backdrop, I am talking purely beach vibes. Nothing but you and the sand!

Some people (perhaps the GP is privy) enjoy going to the beach in order to imbibe and fraternize.

That is nice.

When I go, I have merely a towel and a book and whatever sunglasses I am already wearing. Oh, and my trusted water bottle, of course. A singer is never without ample hydration! 😉

I need nothing but myself and the sun. It is truly a match made in Heaven. 

As a matter of fact, my stylist calls it exactly that. All that I need to say to her is, “I am going to Heaven.” and she is sure to alert the whole block, the media, and my relatives of this bliss.

No. Seriously.

I love laying back listening to the sound of the waves and the wind. The saltiness from the ocean and humidity in the air make me feel at ease.

My heart calms people watching, water watching, cloud watching. My soul thrives in this peaceful place.

I prefer silence and only to listen in on passers-by, I need not utter any words myself. There is always a time and place for gossip, but not when you are feeling hot sand through your towel.

Wow – I am getting goosebumps just writing this! I will never relate to those that prefer pool lounging to beach laying.

Not without proper SPF!

Though, if you were Queen Marcy, you would have it both ways, with a beach sun bathe followed by a prompt jump into the pool. Now that is what I call summer!

I am very excited to share all of my musings with you this sunny season. It honestly fuels my soul. I have a feeling that it will be my best one yet. A summer of relaxation and restoration!
