mahalo

Hello, Hello! What a crazy big past few weeks it has been for me…. I’m currently writing this new post in the comfort of my bed with a sleeping Hemingway snuggled up against me, his paw on my tummy. I am way past the point of exhaustion, which I experienced a breaking point at work … More mahalo

aloha!

I’ve only been to Hawaii once before. I was 3 and my mother still dramatically describes how she carried me around the entire time, all the way up to Diamond Head, on Honolulu.

In another life, I could be … More riding the wave

diary entry

I called my mom last week, all huffy and puffy after my therapy session wishing I could just start over. I wish I could have a clean slate in life. I wish that my past wasn’t my past and that it couldn’t dictate or play into my present and future decisions. Today in my therapy … More diary entry
