Hawaii

I LOVE everything Hawaiian, maybe it’s because I was born there and raised a surfer girl, but everything Hawaiian just seems better. The coffee tastes better, the flowery coconut scents smell better, the Ukulele music sounds happier and the beaches are so beautiful!  I have hula girls on the dashes of my cars, lei’s decorating my mirrors, palm […]

Mommy Moments

Last Week my oldest woke in the middle of the night screaming.  I went into his room, he was laying at the foot of the bed.  I started rubbing his back trying to comfort him praying his younger roommate wouldn’t wake up as well.  I couldn’t get him to calm down or to tell me […]

It’s happened…

It’s happened.  My motivation has left my body.  It’s not for lack of results, because they are clearly there and I feel so much better but my dear friend packed up and moved the F out.  I can’t say I’m too surprised I wasn’t treating him very well.  I would make him wait until the […]

Loves

I’ve been in love twice in my life. I married one and spent most of my late teens / early twenties dreaming about marrying the other. *               *                * This week, Yoga class was all about camel pose. The open-heart pose. […]

Neighbors

Two years ago $#!t when down in the neighborhood.  When I say $#!t went down, I mean it exploded.  It was kind of like a constipated infant that gets a little bit of apple juice to help things along; when the rumbling starts watch out because it goes up the back, in the hair, literally […]

Persevering

This morning I had a heavy heart.  A two pounds heavier heart than I had last week, which made weighing in a difficult thing to take this beautiful chilly morning.  I was letting myself get disappointed when I realized something.  This is not a quick fix.  This not something a band-aid will fix, THIS is […]

Trust your gut

Where is the reset button? Somewhere on our bodies there must be a reset button. I want to get back to the factory settings. Some people have these natural gut instincts that never steer them wrong. I would like to have this unnatural superhuman trait, but I do not. The problem is I like to […]

Thrive

I schedule my days/weeks/months so tight that I’m usually always late.  Throw some kids into the mix and I get impatient and tap my feet a lot waiting for them to lazily put on a shoe or find a shirt.  This impatient behavior was engrained in me from an early age.  My mom was always […]
