Cervantes and Jurian Bay

With little power in my cabin battery, I decided to head to nearby Cervantes after my morning meditation. Making coffee and washing up would have to wait until I am in cell range and can plan how to keep my refrigerator going.

Cervante is tiny, and the beach smells of seaweed. I decided to book a site in Jurien Bay. Check-in is at 12, so I have 3 hours. The smell at the beach was strong, and it was an overcast morning, so I decided to organize the camper better. Last night was a rush job. With everything in place and coffee consumed, I am feeling good. It's about time to head another 40 kilometers to Jurien Bay.

The travel guidebook says it is a great place for snorkeling, and I brought my mask with me. I'm excited to be in the ocean again and my first time in the Indian Ocean. After checking in and getting the camper plugged in, I head to the beach. The winds and current are strong, so I skip the dip for now.

I head to the local tourist information office to get the scoop on the best swimming and snorkeling beaches. The nearby marina was recommended as well as a snorkeling spot 10 kilometers north. That will be my morning stop tomorrow.

I make the 30-minute walk to the marina and find the place to myself. The waters are calm here, but the water is cloudy and not great for snorkeling.

I start in the water and it is about 70 degrees. The cloud coverage in the sky makes it feel like 60. Despite my aversion to cold water, I am determined to swim. After a long 5 minutes, i finally get used to it.

Immediately, I feel tender and start to cry. Water is very healing for me, and I feel grateful. In this nutured state, I mentally proclaim that I am not going to worry about this trips expenses. I'm not going to feel guilty about how much I spend. I created this experience this trip. I manifested the abundance to live my blessed life the way I choose. And I'm leaning into the belief that I can maintain it all with ease!

I am setting a goal for a daily dip in water while I am in Australia. It makes me smile!

And another new habit I'm creating is taking more pictures and being in them. I purchased a selfie stick, and I love it. Yay to the evolved me who has befriended my insecurities!Read more
