Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum

Our kids still don't totally believe us, but yes, we did do a rum tasting on our not at all recent trip to Hawaii. It was so much fun! I didn't expect it to be, but I was surprised. Feels like yesterday, but in fact, it was actually a long time ago now. How time goes by!

Two Years In

Through a series of truly surprising events- including one I know without a doubt is divine intervention- I made a big change in my life that helped me feel more whole and alive than I thought possible. It was a very scary thing to commit to and to change the way I was living. Forgive me for being cryptic. It's just something so deep, I can't share it publicly. But I did want to "mark" it for the years ahead.
