another wonderous day

coming down from yet another wonderous day, full of adventure, love & healing deep within. i started my day this morning with my usual office hours hike, up koko crater. only my partner, was sleeping in from the birth from that evening before. so i headed out to hike the crater and decided to go on my little adventure of exploring the other side of the crater. scaling the ridge, straddling it like a fine tight rope in some sections, jumping across from boulder to boulder, rock climbing some sketchy stretches, taking one mindful step at a time, breathing in the fragrant plumeria forest from below the crater. alas, i popped out into the plumeria forest of the crater. the smells of heaven on earth.

then back at the office for a few clients, whom are so full of gratitude for my services, as i am for working with them. there's nothing better to me than contributing to world peace, through one person at a time.

i chatted with single fin, to check in on his day at work. he's a busy bee, as always. word on the street is that he's got a new short board, that's snappy as hell. good practice for indonesia, is what i say. that's why i got a shorter board, anyway. so, i've been pleading him to post something for his blogging fans. he said he would. so we'll see.

then off into the surf for some cleansing away of the day. i brought lori out with me, to float on our bianchi sea foam green board. we had such a fun time. the winds were in full speed, 10-25mph, which deters most of the surfers. yay!! we've got the whole break to ourselves. screaming, laughing, and getting thrown around left and right, like a raging bull. i love the windy days for some reason. maybe it's because of the humbling feeling i get? maybe because i can never stop laughing at myself?

afterwards, we met up with kimo & went to my now favorite vietnamese restaurant on keeaumoku street. vegetarian pho, loaded with lot of veggies, piled high with bean sprouts and basil...the aroma of anise, cinnamon, lemon grass, ginger & onion is so very nourishing to me. it reminds me of my mom's cooking, which i miss so dearly. i've been practicing my vietnamese over there. it's been really nice.

then off to straub hospital, to go visit one of our clients, who was in need of a little love. she was so happy to see us. we held her hand, hugged & kissed her, told her how she was in our prayers and how much we loved her.

and back home, settling into some of my downtime. i received a phone call from my dear friend & brother, makana from the mainland. he's such a shining star. radiating positivity and full of love deep within. if you haven't heard any of his music, i highly recommend it. check out his website at www.makanalive.com.

i'm on call for a birth right now. she's due 4th of july. i get to be the doula, labor coach, at the hospital for her. so the drill is to be open & ready for anything & not fully attached to anything that you've got planned. go with the flow... alas', isn't that how life should be? :) babies are so wise. we should listen to them.
