Moments In Time

By Christiane

Walking along the beach, I come across
Two sand-drawn hearts and a carefully placed red rose –
A perfect pairing for the month of love.
I wonder who it was made for,
Then I decide it is for all of us
As I share it now in this
Gulf Coast Living Moment in Time.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Walking along the Beach,

I ponder the new year and all

The beauty our Paradise Posse

will create, offer and enjoy in

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas... in Paradise

"A Thankful Swing"

By Christiane

The rosy glow from the sunset sets upon the water as I slip into relaxation.
Swinging back and forth, the hammock becomes a net of peacefulness.

The November breeze flows through the trees and around the hammock,
surrounding me with tropical freshness.

I am thankful and appreciative of the beauty set forth. It’s November, a time
of thanksgiving in paradise, a perfect Gulf Coast Living moment in time.

Autumn brings golden light streaming through orange skies,
while dazzling sunsets paint the sea.

Warm breezes…white sand…swaying palms…
It is “the” place to be.

Soon, you’ll be finding tropical seashells of orange, white and gold.
Ah…such a sweet retreat from the cold.

Follow nature’s signs and look for brilliant colors in the sky.
This is our map, and it’s this way to paradise!

Footsteps Across Paradise

Summer on the beach is filled with memories of walking along

the warm, yielding sand. I remember unique shells resting upon

a white, soft carpet…gems just waiting to be found.

It’s a tapestry of joy filled with simple pleasures…

footsteps across paradise leading to life’s treasures.
