Joy Is Found In The Sea
It is no secret I have been wrestling with the impending completion of our Wahine Wednesday goal. The achievement of surfing every Wednesday for a year which is quickly approaching. I have been questioning whether or not to continue beyond the 52 weeks and if we do, what that might look like. At times, I…

Learning To Love The Ride Of Life
Life is full of firsts. First steps. First loves. First jobs. And lasts. Last days. Last words. Last breaths. And in between is life. Life that is full of transitions. Transitions that begin with firsts and end with lasts. I feel like I am drowning in the rip currents of transitions these days. So many…

What Are You Jonesin’ For In The New Year?
I always get excited around the New Year. I like the idea of starting fresh. We have a chance to reinvent ourselves if desired. Or to continue on the path we are on and take it to the next level. To examine where we are in our lives and decide how we want to live.…

A Wahine Wednesday Christmas Morning
Christmas fell on a Wednesday this year. Luckily none of us have little ones at home that require waking up at 6am to start the Christmas festivities. In fact, my teenagers requested not being woken up until 10. That is why I can even be sitting at this computer. I am not sure if this…

Now when this surfer catches a wave all of his limitations are replaced by the joy of the moment
I never cease to be amazed by people. How they handle and overcome obstacles. What if you were told you have a disease that will eventually steal the ability for you to do what you love? This is happening to Ryan Levinson. And he is not going down without a fight! I am so inspired…

More Than A Surfer
When Tiare and I started Wahine Wednesdays all those months ago, coming up with a name was challenging. We originally called it 52 Wednesdays because this was our goal. To surf every Wednesday for a year…52 Wednesdays. But when looking to start the blog, 52 Wednesdays was taken. We tossed many ideas back and forth…

Never Underestimate The Small Things
The death of Nelson Mandela was not entirely unexpected. Yet, I find myself still feeling surprised. A part of me felt he was super human and would live forever. He was definitely one of the good guys. Arguably one of the most instrumental models of peace in the 20th century. Someone almost larger than…

A Thankful Wahine
Today was one of those days where gratitude washes over me. The impending holiday where the sole purpose is to pause and give thanks tends to do that to people. Well I am thankful. Thankful for a life with incredible blessings. Not that it is perfect by any stretch. My life is pretty simple.…
