I haven’t been here in a while. I brush the imaginary dust off as I sit to type. I have neglected you and for this I am truly sorry.

Wahine Wednesdays is where it all began.

It is the foundation of an incredible journey that continues to become more magical as time unfolds. I owe WW so much. This space on the internet that gave me joy. That gave me courage. That gave me a voice.

I came across my Wahine Wednesdays journal today that documented my goal to surf every Wednesday for a year.

After reading a few entries, I was overcome with warmth.  I was reminded where it all began. I looked fondly at where I started.

As in surfing, I now look in the direction I want to go. I look in the direction I am headed. But, I pay tribute to Wahine Wednesdays. 

I am struck by the irony.

My journal for Wahine Wednesdays bore the title . . .

Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly . . .

Two years ago, as Wahine Wednesdays was just beginning, I did feel like a caterpillar. Trapped inside a cocoon, not knowing what was in store. Wondering, is this it?

And now . . . I feel I am spreading my wings and taking flight.

Wahine Wednesdays has been the catalyst to my transformation.

Wahine Wednesdays . . . A simple goal to surf every Wednesday for a year and the blog that followed.

A blog that although has run it’s course for me, opened me up to new revelations about myself and about this amazing world and has led me down a path of discovery and connection.

Before Wahine Wednesdays, I asked myself, “What can I do?”  I now ask myself, “What can’t I do?”

You can find me leaping out of my comfort zone to chase my dreams and simply blogging about life over at One Salty Kiss.

Salty Kisses,
