waves of aloha
yes, yes, we've been slacking in the blogging world. our deepest apologies for not keeping the update. i think i'm just gonna do mini check-ins with you all each day. okay, here's the short & skinny...single fin's working like crazy on the mainland. he jumps out in the surf every so often. the water apparently has a strange odor to it. i'll let him elaborate on it. he's playing with his childhood buddy from kindergarten this week-end. they're off to san diego for the day. aaahhh, road trips...how i miss them so?
me? i'm doing well. my days consist of my ashtanga yoga practice in the mornings, seeing clients during the day, jumping out in the water to surf, cleansing my days away. yoga, work, surf...playing with my friends, as well. i just had a semi-annual meeting over the week-end for our professional association. it's always such a joy to see the family. lots of new ideas for the upcoming year. today, i'm off to waikiki to go teach yoga & surf. i'm involved in this mentorship program for the hawaii girls' court system. it's a beautifully self-empowering program that teaches troubled girls how to surf and learn yoga.
on another note, we're coming to seattle the week-end of june 19th! gonna hang out with the family. anyone up for a reunion?

back in saddle
shessh what a trip the past several weeks have been.
finally able to sit down and sort out the after affects of the recent changes. more to come soon but essentially i'm living over in playa del rey/el sugundo area and took a job in Hell-LA. its not all that bad. i'm about 10 minutes from work and 10 minutes from the beach. thankfully i found a nice apt and all said and done it was relatively smooth. as far as up rooting your life and moving in less then a month can be for smooth.
more to come soon. just wanted to say hello to you all and that i'm alive and surfing in LA now. haha imgaine that.
i did see a unicorn and a pig flying as well. then again i might have drank some of that LA socal water when i was duck diving and started seeing things.

happy sunday to you all! just spending some time with my little mac laptop at a coffee shop and chatting with single fin across the ocean.
i started the day on my yoga mat. there's something about starting your day flowing with your breath, sweating out all your junk from the day before and with a deep sense of peace. i decided to drive the long way around the island. we're shipping our little jetta to meet up with single fin next week. so i figured i'd give her one good drive around the island before she hits the mainland. the oceans waters were crystal clear tourqoise color. so very peaceful and inviting.
hanging out in the local coffee shop to take care of business. lots of creative ideas are brewing as we speak. then off to jump into the surf and practice my short boarding skills.
my latest is that i'm trying to learn how to duck dive. i'm not quite getting it yet. but i am easily amusing myself when i try. everytime a wave comes over me, i try to push the board down, but apparently since my butt is still in the air, i end up flashing everyone, as the wave takes my bottom. i can't stop laughing. so single fin's been coaching me about proper form and all that stuff.
single fin's braving the cold waters and tells me that once he gets numb he's alright. he's such a dedicated hardcore soul surfer. slaving away at the mother ship, taking on everything...and moving out of his element.
yes, we are so very blessed to be here, to have the best of both worlds. the beauty of this place is that it will always feel like home. and in the end, home is deep inside of us, no matter where we are.
~love, aloha and peace to you all

surfing the unknown
hello our dear 'ohana! yes, yes, we know it's been way toooo long since we've posted. let's just say we've been busy these past couple of months. trips back and forth to the mainland, just spent some time in maui to hang out with the dalai lama, still a bit crazy...but oh well, such is life these days. so the big news is that we've acquired a second residence in southern california!! yes, we're living the high life now. single fin's got a great job in southern california, working for the mother ship of video games. he's fully equipped with a thick wet suit that makes him look like an action figure ready for surfing the waves in california. me? i just got a little 7'2" short board that looks like a fish on fire and rides like a rocket. it's my sanity, the surf to cleanse away the day of seeing clients. i am thankful everyday for all that is. so we're living in both places, the best of both worlds for now...who knows what the future beholds for us? alas, that is the beauty of it all :)
