  • Where I’ve Been

    Where I’ve Been

    A Wahine Wednesday Flashback Surfing has led me to where I am today. I have learned so much through my surf journey and it has led me to this exact moment. For those of you new here . . . my journey blogging began through my love of surfing. I started a blog to document…

  • Living A Passionate Life

    Living A Passionate Life

    I found myself thinking a lot today about how to live a passionate life. Not just how to nurture our passions but how to live a life with passion. A life that is loud and vibrant. One that is filled with our dreams. How to take the ordinary life we’ve been given and make it extraordinary.…

  • Island Magic

    I have been out of the blog-o-sphere for a while. Needing some time to regroup. Trying to find some direction…not a new thing for me. I think back. I reflect on an amazing trip to Oahu in May. More than a mere vacation. A journey that changed me. A voyage to a magical place. So as…

  • The Frog House: The Surf Shop With Heart

    Do you think it is reasonable to use the vibe of a surf shop as a model for how to treat people? I am going to assert that not only is it reasonable, it is essential. The Frog House Surf Shop in Newport Beach, California has been helping surfers of all ages and skill levels…

  • The Importance Of Being Alone

    The Importance Of Being Alone

    The connections I have made through surfing have been amazing.  Most days, surfing is a community activity for me.  I have always surfed with friends, unless circumstances and desperation for waves forced me to go alone. The conversations, the laughs, and the stoke shared with others somehow just makes life on the sand seem a…

  • Are You Missing Out On The Gems Of Life?

    Last week my 19-year-old son and his friend dragged themselves out of bed at 6:45 a.m. to come surf with me. Those of you with teenagers understand the magnitude of this feat. There are few things I adore more than being in the ocean with my children.  To watch them surf, for them to share…

  • A Year In Wednesdays

    Well, we did it.  This past Wednesday was Wednesday #52.  Hard to believe.  Has it really been a year?  This day marks the end of our challenge.  The completion of our goal to surf every Wednesday for a year. This goal that has been driving us the past 52 weeks. When I woke up Wednesday…

  • Surfing, Fear, and Jury Duty

    Two weeks ago I was called for jury duty.  The morning I was to report, I packed my new book and was resigned to the idea of spending my day in a courthouse.  From previous experiences, I was anticipating a lot of waiting. Long story short, by lunchtime I was on a jury. We were…

  • The Breath In My Lungs

    I went on a run this morning.  The surf was lackluster and I needed to move my body and be outside.  As I was running, these words came to me.  I envisioned being in the ocean, under water, as the waves washed over me.  I correlate it with life.  I don’t write poetry, but for…

  • Weekly Photo Challenge: Surfing Selfie

    The “Selfie”-one part memory maker one part narcissism.  Always with the potential for hilarity. My 15 year old daughter has perfected the art of the selfie. I hope I did her proud. Salty Kisses, K http://wahinewednesdays.wordpress.com/2014/02/07/weekly-photo-challenge-selfie/
