swirling around...
swirling around is truly how i feel our lives are right now. living bicoastally, california and hawaii has been a truly exciting, crazy, opportunistic, stressful...the list goes on and on.
the surf is picking up, finally. winter is the season, apparently. gonna buckle down and get a wet suit, at least 1/2 a one.
i'm off to thich nhat hahn's meditation retreat outside of san diego today. i am looking forward to finally meeting him. 'been out of meditation practice lately. my monkey mind has been jumping all over the place :) it'll be nice to "just be."
doing the facebook thing, for fun. single fin & i are on it if you'd like to hear more day to day quickie updates of our lives. would love to hear from you all.
i'll write more once i come out on the other side...much love and alohas to you all.
xoxo's,

we're alive...
hello out there. yes, it's been way too long since my last entry. and we won't even begin to go there with when the last time single fin has blogged. here's the update...single fin is working his butt off in LA, trying to adjust to the world of movie stars, plastic surgery, lots of people, etc. etc. on the flip side, LA has it's benefits, because there are so many people. lots of opportunity and great experience, all in all. the surf does not compare to hawaii, but then again, i don't think anything could compare to this crazy little chain of islands out in the middle of the pacific ocean. send him love & encouragement, because he is truly out of his element there. i am so very proud of what he has endured, for the greater cause...which we're still not sure what really is yet :)
and life here in hawaii has been truly magnificent, as always. same old, same old...good surf, warm water, cool tradewind breezes, people full of aloha, simplicity at its finest. babies popping out left and right.
spending some quality time with single fin on the mainland last week for a couple of weeks. we went back to see our family on the east coast. it was a time to acknowledge our roots and pay respects to our family. grandma, whom we lovingly named single fin after, has moved onto the next life. she is in our hearts everyday. a strong woman who taught us to never give up, when you feel like you have all the odds against you. she had a big heart and always gave to everyone, except herself. she taught us the essence of true love.
then off to my naturopathic convention in palm springs, california. all i can say is that it is soooo hot there. 110 degrees of dry heat! ugh. good to see the colleagues. it amuses me that this is my 'ohana at times. and yet, also, i am so full of gratitude that this is my community and that we are so passionate about our medicine. i couldn't imagine doing anything else for my life's work.
surfing and exploring in san diego area. hanging out in little coastal beach towns, surfing the teeny, tiny beach break. it was good to play and laugh with single fin, my best friend, my partner in crime, my loving hubbie.
just getting back into the swing of things here, before i take off again to LA. lots of change in the air...one day at a time.
much love & aloha to you all!
