Can you spot the 🐢? Swimming with sea turtles in Hawaii was one of the most magical and serene things I have ever experienced. It's one of the things I miss most ❤

This is a stormy sunrise from Kalama Beach. Kalama

This is a stormy sunrise from Kalama Beach. Kalama Beach was just a few blocks from both places that I lived at in Kailua during my time in Hawaii. Practically every day (at a minimum 4 days a week) I would walk to Kalama Beach. Sometimes for sunrise, a lot of times for sunset, occasionally to reset in the middle of the day. Walking to this beach gave me an way to manage my stress and anxiety unlike anything else I've ever tried and I miss it. It was a place I went to reflect and a place that inspired me...today marks one year since we left Hawaii and it has been a hell of a year. It has been full or readjustment and change, some good, a lot bad. Hawaii was my home for nearly 4 years. It shaped who I am today and changed completely the person I was and an becoming. I miss it so much more than I ever imagined I would. It will probably be years before I ever get to go back, but one of my goals for this year is to rediscover the person I was in Hawaii and learn how to carry that with me as I move forward in life. 🌺

Yesterday marked the 1 year anniversary of hiking

Yesterday marked the 1 year anniversary of hiking the infamous Stairway to Heaven (the back way). I admired these stairs from the highway the entire time I lived in Oahu and I promised myself (and my husband) that before I left the island I would mark this hike off my Hawaii Bucket List. And despite the fact I left this hike somewhat disappointed, I would have always wondered what I had missed out on had I never gone up there. The trail was challenging, muddy, and cold, but it did offer some amazing view and it is an accomplishment I will carry with me forever. 🏔

I just finished a blog post summing up all the things that went wrong in 2019 and how I'm certain this year tried to kill me. So, I decided I'd counter all that negativity and post some of the good things from 2019 to finish off the year. From enjoying my final hikes in Hawaii, to exploring Utah in the snow, finding hidden waterfall gems in SoCal and camping out at The River, I may not have gotten out and explored as much as I have in the past, but this year had its adventures. From graduations, to birthday parties and fun runs, I may not have gotten to hang out with everyone as much as I would have liked, but I made some unforgettable memories with some of my favorite people. It's been fun 2019 ✌ but I'm ready for 2020.
