Carrying What Matters

Before you press play, I’d love to share a little context.

I volunteer with our local Sea Turtle Patrol during nesting season. Before the sun rises, we walk the shoreline collecting data for conservation research and helping protect these extraordinary creatures. While many people are still asleep, the beach begins to awaken—the rhythmic waves, the salty morning breeze, and a sky painted with new colors each day. It has become one of my favorite places to listen, reflect, and remember.

The video was filmed by one of my patrol mates - just filming her TV as she watched the local news share some insight about our conservation efforts.
