Tampa, FL – Reflect, Refresh, Renew

Last weekend The Calmer and I were in Tampa, FL. A former co-worker and close friend got married and much to our delight dismay decided to set up permanant residence in a prime vacation locale close to the beach. After Bella’s passing we were invited and encouraged to visit and relax. It didn’t take much convincing for us to book our ticket down South. We had a lovely time and can’t wait to go back.  Our hosts were wonderfully hospitable and something about being at the ocean, soaking in the sun, and sinking our feet in the sand aided in the healing process.  Here are some of the highlights from our trip.

Our homey accomodations for the weekend

Beach day. Bright sun peeking through. Beautiful.

Hi, I'm Beryl of Be Young Creative! I was never a person who carried a camera with me wherever I went. But I fell in love with photography in 2009 as a way to document the exciting time of becoming a mom and rediscover my creative spark along the way. I believe that when you choose the creative path, you discover it’s never too late to change course, find happiness, heal, try more, do less, be bold, get quiet, & cultivate a life of courage and connection. I created the Cultivate Creativity Journal as a way to make space for you in the chaos of daily life and explore what it means to create a life you love.

  1. Beautiful pictures Beryl…. really lovely. Love the first two pics the best.
    You inspire me… I just need your camera! 🙂

  2. That really is an amazing shot of the sunset! I really don’t take the time to appreciate the sunrises/sunsets enough…

  3. Gorgeous pics Beryl. I am so glad you have this passion. I have to tell you though, I still look at the avatar shot and think it is someone taking a pic of you on the stairs! Even though I know it’s a mirror shot.
    Hang in there, I’m praying for you.
