Celebrating the end of this beautiful woman’s season in Palmy. Big yellow taxi by Joni might have been the better song for Palm Beach with all the development and concrete shadowing Jeffo lanes once sunlit strip 😅🚕 But this song is Carley 🌺
My family have also since left Jeffo after a decade of laneway skates and early beach runs. We’ve had many unforgettable seasons there & I was honoured Carley wanted to document her own in one last laneway ride, coffees at the local and wildflowers in dunes 🌺 🌊
Carley and I met at the most unconventional job interview together. We all had to sell one another for the one job we were all going for 🙃. There were 6 of us. Carley and I ended up both getting the job … an alchemist & eccentric creator and it was a match made in heaven 😍🙏😂 So there we were, packing lotus tea orders and cutting tea leaves. It’s wasn’t a long time but it felt like I’d known Carley forever.
In the end, we weren’t really there for the tea or money, it was our energy exchanged that was the currency 🪙 ✨ it was the French baguette sticks eaten together on breaks from and the pizza slices from .cafe 🇮🇹, the deep conversations and ideas we shared about our bigger dreams and visions, about life, relationships, our children, and the many belly laughs. I gave Carley the nickname “frenchie” as she would ride in on her bike, baguette stick in basket always looking like she’d rode in straight off the set of a French romance 🇫🇷
Carley fast became a soul sister, an inspiration, and one of my closest friends 🤍
I’m forever grateful to have you as my friend 🙏 and I can’t wait to document the many seasons of yours to come 🍃
