  • Oahu Travel Guide

    April 12, 2016December 12, 2018

    So, it’s time for part two of my Hawaii travel guide: Oahu.  I realized it’s kind of weird writing a guide about a place you lived because it gets personal, and there’s soooo much to write

  • Hibiscus Date

    March 23, 2016December 12, 2018

    I just had a much needed date with my watercolor book. I gave it some flowers. It gave me some creative and productive bliss. Swoon.  Furthermore, while I was in this megaproductive mode, I also

  • I’ll always believe in love at

    February 11, 2016December 12, 2018

    I’ll always believe in love at first sight. When it comes to places where you can walk underneath some coconut trees. And feel like you are home. This is quite possibly my favorite bunch o’

  • Yup. It felt oh so great

    January 13, 2016December 12, 2018

    Yup. It felt oh so great to get back to my bikini-clad, messy-haired, covered in salt and sand, sunkissed self. In fact, if my face wasn’t cropped out, you’d see some major permagrin to.  And

  • Warm Vibes

    December 18, 2015December 12, 2018

    It’s that time of year. It’s cold. There’s snow. There’s ice. And lots of grey. And, in Southern California, I have to wear a hoodie with my flip flops. And people bust out their Uggs

  • Missing Island Life

    November 20, 2015December 12, 2018

    It’s been over two years since we moved away from Hawaii, and I’d be lying through my teeth if I said I wouldn’t cry tears of joy if I learned we were moving back tomorrow.

  • There’s just something about Hawaii.

    March 12, 2015December 12, 2018

    Two days into my trip back to Kauai last week, I had the following realization:  Hawaii does your body, mind, spirit, skin, hair and outlook on life in general…lots of good. Which I am 100%

    Missing the ocean with every ounce of my soul, but Missing the ocean with every ounce of my soul, but it helps having a lake a few hours away that sure looks like an ocean. 🛶🐾❤️ 

Narrow cottage lined roads have the best light.✨💚

 Glassy conditions, time for a swim.

    Here’s the last painting I did before I packed up Here’s the last painting I did before I packed up my office…and I haven’t touched a brush since. Feels weird, but the break helped get lots of ideas brewin’ now, too. 🎨🧡 Life’s a beach. Embrace the mess and get the tattoo. #goldfishkissart #watercolor #radart

    Well, in life update news, we moved to Michigan. T Well, in life update news, we moved to Michigan. Two days after saying goodbye to Kili, I said bye to beach life, felt like a chapter of life I loved was slammed shut, and all the air and motivation was knocked out of me. Changes like this take time, and the idea of ever being truly settled in is a bit foreign to me. But, you just have to look for the little glimmers in ordinary days (what’s in all these pics), be present, get out and about, and choose joy while also giving those tears permission to flow. Ok, and say hi to every dog I can, while holding onto summer as long as I can, too. But I hear Fall is next level up here. 🧡

So, if you’ve been following me for a while, life’s taken us many places. I feel like I’m part chameleon and part lone wolf by now, and we will see what this new season brings. I have a feeling Lake Michigan and the upper peninsula will be my happy place, so hopefully we’ll make it out there a bunch. Life’s crazy. Wear a helmet and thank goodness for Facebook marketplace. And that I didn’t give away all my cold weather gear.
    Well, I had to say goodbye to my best four-legged Well, I had to say goodbye to my best four-legged friend, then to life at the beach in a matter of a few days. Life’s been heavy, full of random ugly cries, a bit of a blur, and my brain fog is at capacity, all while having one too many tabs open, too.

But I did manage to scribble down some journal thoughts before the move, and wanted to share. I love these things.

I’ll post a bunch of final beach pics and about life in our new location soon. But for now, I’m just taking it one day at a time.

Or in this case, page. Hope they’re somewhat legible. 🌊❤️‍🩹🖊️ #goldfishkisswriting #thoughts
    How do you sum up an incredible life in few slides How do you sum up an incredible life in few slides and words…I can’t. This loss is such a deep hurt, and the love is so pure. Kili pup, I miss you, and my heart is so damn heavy. Run wild, run free, soak up the sun, steal all the pizza, and find all the sticks and tennis balls, my best four legged friend. ❤️‍🩹🐾
