Beach Moonrise Magic: Transforming My Expectations and Disappointment Into Serenity and Presence

In this episode of "The Beach Speaks," host Paige Friend reflects on managing expectations and finding serenity at the beach. Paige recounts a recent experience where she anticipated a serene moonrise over the ocean but was met with obstacles such as storm clouds, noisy crowds, and a bustling beach bar. Initially disappointed by the lack of the tranquil moonrise she had envisioned, Paige finds solace in the moment by wading into the ocean. The cold, salty waves help shift her perspective, teaching her to embrace the present rather than clinging to expectations. Through this experience, she realizes that serenity comes from accepting the moment as it is rather than how she imagined it to be. Paige concludes with a heartfelt message about grounding oneself and appreciating the beach's lessons, summarized in the three words she writes in her journal: Expectations, Serenity, and Waves.
