Ocean Rhythms Kindred Spirits - An Emerson-Inspired Essay Collection on Travel, Nature, Family and Pets, is a reminder to be present in the moment, live life with abandon, invariably respecting nature, animals and people.

Join Sheree K. Nielsen, 2015 Da Vinci Eye Award Winner (Folly Beach Dances) on a journey as she awakens the wanderlust in her soul, defines moments of clarity while walking on the beach, finds solitude diving with sharks and dolphins, and befriends sea-loving dogs. She'll reveal her strong connection to family and beloved pets, the beauty in a mimosa tree, and the kindred spirit that lives in all of us.

A unique essay collection of all things warm and good inspired by the author's love for Ralph Waldo Emerson, including photographs taken by the author at the end of each essay, with a few photographic contributions by seafaring friends capturing memories from the Caribbean, the Carolinas, Florida, the Great Lakes, and the Midwest.
