Sugar Lyn Beard Instagram – 4 decades of this human came to a close sometime this morning and fresh new decades begin. What a wild beautiful challenging exciting and hopefully impactful life it has been. Love heartbreak loss wonder thrill pain – all of it I have felt and appreciated so deeply that I sometimes feel my insides are like a Monet – swirls of mangled intertwining color shadow and light. There’s something about this decade turnover that has me looking back in vivid waves at all of it – especially at all of you who have crossed lived left camped cemented on my path: our time together our chapters our moments partnerships loves embraced loves lost and the loves of everlasting ripple effects that carry far beyond what I can see and know from moments held by you and forgotten by me the quiet love relationship between nature animals and sustenance too- it’s these our always altering connections that ignite the purpose of being and the delicious act that it is to live: ultimately love. Happy birthday Sug (Stephanie, Princess Piglet, Chubba-lie, Taine, Smijit, Sugabaybee, Sug) – I love you. Your legacy is the trail of love you leave behind and MY SOUL YOU ARE AN INFINITE SNAIL ❤️ For all those I have loved and touched and shared my life with I’m remembering you looking in your eyes squeezing you tears for you loving you laying with you – going back in my mind to the feeling of our love’s encounters – you’re on the list. I haven’t forgotten you. I promise. ❤️ Lihue, Hawaii
