I have been hit, not by a squall, but by the common winter cold I have somehow avoided the last few years. You know the one—the aggravating stuffy head, runny nose, and cough—enough to keep you up at night but not enough to lay you out for a long sleep. So here I am at…

We have ushered in a new year, and as we move into 2025, we are filled with hope for what this new chapter will bring. The ups and downs of the previous year are now behind us, like a gentle wake trailing our passage. While we encountered storms and enjoyed moments of smooth sailing, we…

So every year, Santa packs up his tight-fitting sleigh, filling each crevice with multiple items he needs, starts up his power, and takes off for a long trip around the world. During his trip, he stops at many places and gives gifts to people of all walks of life. When done, he returns to the…

Unless you are harkening back to the good old days of following the stars, charts, and your innate sense of seamanship, you’ll likely rely on a wide array of technical assistance while out on the water. You have your chart plotter, Navionics, or another app for direction. The radio for communication. A depth sounder to…

The process of monitoring and controlling the movement of a vehicle from one place to another involves gathering information, evaluating it, and making decisions based on that information. Do you have a destination you want to reach but no route planned out? On the water, as in life, you can’t get there properly without navigation.…
Welcome Aboard Squall Girl
A blog exploring the thrills and challenges of life. I’m Lynda, ready to guide you through both the storms and sunny skies with a touch of warmth and humor.
Embracing the Storm
Many storms have tested me time and time again, as they do for everyone. I’ve experienced job loss, relationship endings (both romantic and friendship), and the painful loss of my parents. But these moments are simply part of the natural cycle of life. Like rain nourishing the soil, these storms allow us to grow and flourish.
The winds of change scatter seeds of new beginnings. Amidst the chaos and darkness, a squall emerges abruptly, leaving us to wonder, “What just happened?” Yet, from these unexpected storms, we find the strength to rebuild and create something even more remarkable.
How to Navigate Life’s Storms
Life can be unpredictable, throwing us unexpected storms. How can you rebuild yourself to stand strong against the next storm? Do you constantly monitor the weather service, anxiously awaiting the next tempest? Do you reinforce your foundations with unyielding solidity, avoiding planting flowers that might be uprooted? Or do you embrace the beauty of the present, relishing in the sunshine instead of dwelling on impending storms?
These are the discussions I want to explore. If you have experienced a life-altering event, let’s delve into the life jackets you relied on for safety. Did you don them daily, cautious of every possibility, or did you just have one on hand? Did you use a flashlight in the dark with more power and a generator to keep everything constantly lit? Let’s navigate these moments together and discover the path to weathering any storm.
