Dolphinitley not alone 🤍✨

As the week comes to an end, my heart is full. Something in my chest had been missing for a month. There is nothing harder than loosing a child. Meeting Kellie’s parents returned what I was missing today.

Lucy’s Law came into effect this month. She was killed in 2022 by a boat, and driving under the influence and killing someone with your speed and lack of awareness now has serious consequences. Still, our friend got hit and killed by a boat. How about prevention?

My soul spent the month angry. Something we keep requesting is safety while in the water. For manatee, rays, both animals and us. At least we have DIVE FLAGS. She had one. And she was also passionate about requesting this. Many of us are. We might have lost her, but in that grief, we found UNITY.

This week had fruitful calls. A female filmmaking community, mentor feedback, a fiscal sponsor, and the possibility of joining the force of two communities for a common cause. A cause the dolphin in this image cares a lot about. The quality of our water. I keep thinking of all those people I have met who share my values and want the same things. So, after many tears lost for friends and places… I share some of joy. All we need are more steps in the right direction. What step would you take?
