Jerry Lehman Life by the Sea - a Great Vacation Destination

Jerry Lehman "Life By the Sea"


Jerry  Lehman is a great Hospitality Host  for calligraphy events and has been a Secretary for the Friends of Calligraphy for several years. Jerry uses her calligraphy during the annual Flower Festival   Bouquet Show at De Young Museum

It's summer. Time for vacations - to relax . Jerry's title piece  tells me to go to a beach ,put on my sunglasses ,rub tan lotion , sit on a folding chair and read a book.
My life is pretty simple if  I take on vacation together with family & relatives for two weeks  it is  usually at a resort near the beach at Cancun, Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Hawaii, or Boracay beach.

I learn this ditty on a beach in Hawaii

Hang Loose

Just hang loose
Just have fun
Sipping on a drink
and lying on the sun
Don't try to fight it
Ain't no use
'Cause When you're in Hawaii
You Just Hang Loose.


The first time I was in Hawaii about 20 years ago, a hotel I remember most is "Halekulani' - which means "A House Befitting Heaven" or  "A House Befitting Royalty". What a lovely meaning.  Look around this website the  facilities and spas are glorious and it's near the sea. You'll love  when they surround your table with gorgeous island-grown orchids when you dine or L'aperitif  by the sea. Or just enjoy an Afternoon Tea at the Veranda.
Now the Halekulani experience is indeed a  little taste of Heaven.

Check out the Best Beaches around USA.

While you are on the beach ,read a book on "Shell Seekers" or Gift from the Sea.

Excerpt from Anne Lindberg's Gift from the Sea.

The Beach
"The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. To dig for treasures shows not only impatience and greed, but lack of faith. Patience, patience, patience, is what the sea teaches. Patience and faith. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach — waiting for a gift from the sea."

Calligraphy teaches us to be patient too.


Life by sea is fun but occasionally you may meet a tsunami or a storm but then it passes,  to enjoy life again.
