Don't worry about being worried. 
You're heading out on an adventure 
and you can always change your mind 
along the way and try something else.

And I Quote. . .

"Ask most people what they want out of life and the answer is simple - to be happy. Maybe it's this expectation though of wanting to be happy that just keeps us from ever getting there. Maybe the more we try to will ourselves to state's of bliss, the more confused we get - to the point where we don't recognize ourselves. Instead we just keep smiling - trying to be the happy people we wish we were. Until it eventually hits us, it's been there all along. Not in our dreams or our hopes but in the known, the comfortable, the familiar."

Mahalo Hawaii

 My recent trip to Hawaii was one I will never forget. I said good-bye to my dear Aunty who ended her brave battle with breast cancer, spent quality time with my family and embraced all the amazing sites and people of Hawaii.

People leave leis on the King Kamehameha statue in celebration of Kamehameha Day, June 11.

June 14, the day after my Aunty's passing. "
                                                                                  Those we love don't go away, 
they walk beside us every day, 
unseen, unheard, but always near,
still loved, still missed and very dear.
