  • Deja Vu

    September 10, 2017December 12, 2018

    I had a mini deja vu day today. A mini Hawaii-livin, reverse back in time five years, kind of deja vu. In spite of all the craziness lately, I got to do something that I

    I’ve said it before, time to say it again: The more aloha print you have in your life, the happier you will be.  So, the Ladies at The Lucky Honey sent me this dress. It’s

  • I found some hibiscus in Minnesota

    August 4, 2017December 12, 2018

    I found some hibiscus in Minnesota. So, of course, I had to put them in my hair. (Even though I just cut mine and my top knot is pretty wimpy.) Fun story: I recently found

    July 14, 2017December 12, 2018

    Ok Minnesota. I’m liking all the floral surprises you’ve given me ever since it stopped snowing. First it was peonies, and now lilies are everywhere. We’re talking the big juicy bright and fragrant kind that

  • A sporty flattering top and lots

    July 6, 2017December 12, 2018

    A sporty flattering top and lots of layers always makes for some fun pics. The Colorado sky isn’t too shabby either.  Seriously, the skies here are no joke. They speak my love language. And believe it

  • Minnesota Blooms

    June 8, 2017December 12, 2018

    So, apparently Minnesota is a mecca for peonies this time of year. This is something I didn’t realize at all, and is also something that has made me ohhh soooo happy the past few days.

  • Sometimes you just need to pick

    May 31, 2017December 12, 2018

    Sometimes you just need to pick your own bouquet.  Something I always find myself doing when I’m back in Hawaii is…picking flowers. Plumeria, Hibiscus, Tiare, Puakenikeni. The colors, the smells, and just how they’re a

    May 29, 2017December 12, 2018

    The cool thing is, if you think of what’s written on the tank in a metaphorical sense, you might love it even more.  At least I do. Make a change. Take a leap of faith.

    Mama: Two letters, used twice to form a two syllable word, that totally melts my heart. And I think Mothers Day should be a week long holiday. Can I get an Amen? Amen. Thanks By

    My motto: Suns out, shirt off, bikini on.  Hallelujah for sunny days, my patio…and uplifting bikinis.  *Goal for the next week is to get some plants for our patio so I can shoot pics like

    April 27, 2017December 12, 2018

    So this is pretty cool, ironic, or just a big blessing that’s not really in disguise at all. Just a few miles from my home is The Marjorie McNeely Conservatory – which for lack of

    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. ❤️‍🩹🐾
