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…

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.

A Page From A Surfer Girl’s Journal
5-8-13 Today was one of those days. A day where if it weren’t for the goal to surf 52 Wednesdays, every Wednesday for a year, we never would have gotten in the water. The commitment to Wahine Wednesdays was our driving force. It had rained the day before. I usually wait the recommended 72 hours…
