JLynn’s Journey

I’m working with the Hazard Mitigation & Resilience Plan (HMRP) team and the VI Dept of Planning and Natural Resources (DPNR) Coastal Zone Management in collecting pictures of Virgin Islands shoreline to see how our coasts have changed and understand what we’ve lost or gained over the years. If you have any shoreline pictures of anywhere in the VI, are willing to give me permission to share on our HMRP website please post them below. If you have the same picture of the past and in present day to compare, please share both. Thank you in advance! #hmrp #beacherosion #resilience #hazardmitigation (at Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXBgUqmrozCq1maFR0sEuQoS9VmvJu1zUqCQsM0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Reflections: Being a parent means doing what’s best for your child so they can grow into a responsible human capable of being a contributing member of society and sometimes that means making tough decisions. Are we all cut out to take that stand when the time comes? I remember growing up I didn’t get it at all. I thought everything was so unfair and why were my parents being so hard on me. Today I understand. Thank goodness for maturity. We stand on the shoulders of those wise men and women who came before us. For they’re big shoes we must fill. Are we up to the challenge? The parent/child relationship is a true gift, cherish it fiercely, forgive often, love it deeply. #legacytalk #parenthood_moments #thoughtsnlife #grandparentslove #takesavillage #parentappreciation #daddysgirl #mommyandme https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw55hNngAbE8BHHS7c4e03TunJQNRoZu4s3q7g0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w7rp7dgz05u2

What is holding you back? Fear? Know how? Money? Identify it. Understand that it is an illusion. The mind is a powerful thing. It creates scenarios and stories to paint a picture of the future. The future isn’t here yet, only the present. Embrace what is now and be confident in your abilities...for they are many. Stand strong in your dream and make the dream a reality. What have you got to lose? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Perfection is 82 degrees with a cool breeze overlooking turquoise waters on a Sunday afternoon. #happyplace #home #magensbay #bluesky #bluewater (at Saint Thomas - Magens Bay) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwhlecYg0onZDTvUmaUkGa1buEkEff8vw7INYU0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cs5ab2hwgy3h

Contemplating my next chapter. Officially under construction. Possibilities are as vast as this ocean. Some moments are not meant to be shared. Me time. #metime #happyplace #creativemindsatwork (at Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwR-xClAzdVxG8ppW0Wrap0Z2tRNtjdC8-XpJE0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a1a0oyyc824q

Beauty in the simplicity of a tree.
