“I wanna skip and not fall I wanna look at the horizon and not see a building standing tall I wanna be the only one for miles and miles Except for maybe you and your simple smile Oh, it sounds good to me Yes, it sounds so good to me...”🎶☀️ hello Thursday - Bonjour Cherie 🩵 it’s the last day of music from 1989 or 1999 at #rubyredmusikmix with the wonderful dj duo @rubyredvintageuk and @poplivretro 🎶 song choice: cowboy take me away from 1999 by #countrymusic #girlband @thechicks 🤠 photos: yes, more #mermaiding 😁🧜‍♀️(sorry not sorry 😆) today I’m continuing my tattoo journey so l am not sure when I’ll be back to the beach 🌊 it really is my #happyplace ☀️photography tip: lay in the shoreline, keep a tight grip on your camera and enjoy having the ocean water pose with you 🌊🧜‍♀️ outfit: well...the beach was very quiet... 🤭🤣actually my younger self would have been very surprised and mildly scandalised at my lack of “covering up” 🩵 it’s taken a long time for me to love the skin I’m in and to lose some of the mental baggage l’ve dragged around since my youth with regard to other’s opinions. I’m feeling much more free to be me these days 🎉🙌🧜‍♀️ “Cowboy take me away Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free, oh, I pray Closer to heaven above and closer to you Closer to you...”🎶 whatever you’re doing today, darling, be free to be yourself 🙌🩵 #bekindtoyourself #loveyou 😘🧜‍♀️ and please send good tattoo day vibes!!😁 #musiclover #90scountry #curvygirl #beachlover #oceanphotography #sensualwoman #lovetheskinyourein #darling #watercolourpainting #greeneyes #tattoedgirl

“Oh, mirror in the sky What is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changin’ ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?” 🎶🦋 A year ago today I was on an incredible trip, one I did not think I would ever be able to accomplish 🙏to celebrate, I am reposting the reel I made and the words I wrote about it… I will never forget the journey that brought me to this tattoo. and I am now beautifully marked forever to celebrate life and the process of healing that I’m still on. 🦋 After my car accident, I could not be in a brightly lit room or navigate stairs or listen to music or carry on long conversations. Even years of therapy later, travel seemed out of the question. But some miracles happen slowly. An inch at a time. and November 2022 saw me fly 🦋 all the way to France! I spent two days with the wonderfully talented @dino_vallely getting this tattoo. I climbed the spiral staircase and laid down under bright lights. We talked and listened to music for hours. I sketched and laughed and loved every moment ☺️🦋 One year on and I am still so thankful for these memories and what they mean to me. The hope I have from them on days that are difficult, the reminder on my body of what I can accomplish 🦋 AND I’m looking forward to a week in Dino’s chair come June 2024!!! 🎉😁🦋 I’m joining #rubyredmusikmix with @rubyredvintageuk and @poplivretro with a song that speaks to me of all these things: #landslide by @stevienicks and @fleetwooddmac 🎶 “Well, I’ve been afraid of changin’ ‘Cause I’ve built my life around you But time makes you bolder Even children get older And I’m getting older too…”🎶🦋 Change is inevitable, but you can build a life that allows you to grow and embrace who you are becoming 🦋 be kind to yourself in the journey darling ♥️🙏💋 #musiclover #healingjourney #sensualwoman #november #tattoedgirl #legtattoo #peonytattoo #nevertoolate #darling #curvygirl #thankful #celebratelife #bucketlist #ididit #bekindtoyourself photo credit: up-close tattoo photos are Dino’s work📷
