I'm most at home when I'm swimming: every aspect of my life tends to go better when I swim every day. Here in New Mexico there's no beach, but this mermaid will always find the water. I am, and always have been, in love with the ocean--but I'll take a pool any day if there's no beach nearby.

I've been very sick since early childhood, but have survived thanks to an active, healthy lifestyle: always dancing, hiking in the beautiful Black Forest where I was raised, swimming any chance I could find, both locally at the pool, and also on beloved trips to the beach.

But for me an active lifestyle must also include an active mind: creating and loving art, writing and reading endlessly.

Six months ago my health worsened and I entered a period of forced rest. Now--finally!--my doctors have given me permission to swim again!

I created this blog to combine my love of swimming with my love of writing. A healthy mind, a healthy body, a healthy life (-:

Wherever she wanders, be it the tall green forest or the dusty hot desert, this mermaid will find the water, and will sing her siren song.

I LOVE this swimsuit! 

Love,
M

I feel like ‘beach grunge’ could maybe describe my style…

maybe. Beach something. Don’t know what kind.

My Grandmother is taking my family to Tulum, Mexico for Christmas next year! Five or six days at this resort, hanging out on the beach and doing tourist stuff. I’m so excited that I get to explore the second-largest barrier reef in the world! I’m going to take scuba-diving lessons (-: It will be a very different but exciting Christmas. 

I thought it was very sweet that my family took my service dog into serious consideration when choosing a place to go on vacation. It was important to them that I can take him with us. They’re support means so much to me. 

Love,

M

Someday, I want to take a picture just like this one.
I’m so happy! After all these months of being locked out of my tumblr account, I finally found a way in! By accident. So I still don’t know my password, but that’s ok for now (-:
And the great news is: my family is spending next Christmas in either La Jolla or Hawaii!!!!!! I’m so excited! Of course I’m routing for Hawaii, but a beach is a beach (-: and there are amusement parks in Cali which would make K happy.

Love,
M

  • Question: I love that you posted the photos I took of Jack at white sands! LOVE YOU! - pedirundeseo
  • Answer:

    No way! I should have credited you! But I couldn’t remember who took which pictures so I just posted them all. I’ll go back and credit them if you tell me which ones you did (-:
