    How Going Green Is Sexy

    Recently we celebrated World Oceans Day. The ocean is a pretty important resource on this planet and I am especially fond of it! It has brought me hours and hours of joy! I am so glad to know with all the Hallmark holidays, there is a day dedicated to the sea. I respect a person who is…

    A Father’s Day Gift Idea

    Father’s Day is right around the corner. The day set aside to honor the man who gave us life. Have you noticed dads often take a back seat to moms? Moms tend to get all the glory while fathers are behind the scenes waiting in the wings. They are the support cast who without, the…

    How Driving A Vintage Car Can Improve Your Life

    My first car was a 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle. It was a great car for a 17-year-old, barring the fact it had no airbags, no power steering or brakes, and was about as durable as a tin can. It was a fun car to drive and served its purpose, but as I got older and…

    Are You Choosing Busy Over Happy?

    Everybody is so busy these days. Running here, there, and everywhere in an effort to get things done. In a world that tells us it’s important to have more, to do more; we find ourselves spread thin trying to do it all. When I look around at all this ‘busy-ness,’ I wonder if I am…

    Connection

    Connection. To find a way to you. A bridge. A bow line. A tunnel. A link in a daisy chain. That is why I write this blog. To connect. To connect with you. With people I love. With strangers. With myself. With the universe. I feel that is why we are put on this planet.…

    Having The Confidence To Just Be

    I am going to get real for a moment. A little bit vulnerable. You may or may not have noticed, I haven’t posted in a while. Nothing. Nada. Haven’t even written a word. In all honesty, I surfed 5 out of the last 6 days. Something I rarely do anymore since I’ve started writing and…

    Where I’m Headed

    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…

  • Putting The Broken Pieces Back Together: A Visit With My Siblings

    Putting The Broken Pieces Back Together: A Visit With My Siblings

    A few weeks ago I was reminded what a special bond adult siblings hold. No matter the baggage, carried from a lifetime of disagreements and disappointments, this bond is like no other. It’s an interesting connection we form with the people we grow up with. The people who are intimately involved in the circumstances that…
