Manoa Falls Trail





We've been living on the beautiful island of Oahu for about a year now and one thing I told my husband I want to do more of is explore the island. Matt was born and raised here so it helps having his insight on where the good spots are to go. One common hike here is the Manoa Falls Trail. It's roughly a mile and a half long and leads up to a beautiful waterfall.

We went this past weekend and had a fun time! Although it was a short hike it was a bit of a challenge for me because I haven't gone hiking in awhile and I was carrying baby in front. Overall it was an adventure and I'm excited to share more that we go on:)

Letting Go



The lotus flower symbolizes many things, one of them being rebirth. I've always found the lotus flower to be beautiful especially with its stark contrast against the muddiness of the water. These past few weeks I've been doing some deep re-evaluation of my life- of who I am, what I want to do, where I want to go, and how I want to promote a positive change on others' lives as well as the earth. It seems like this is the perfect time to let go of those things that no longer align with these values. This includes- clutter, physical and mental. I'm slowly decluttering my possessions, negative thoughts and connection through social media. Just today I deleted my Facebook account after nearly 8+ years of use. The most important thing that I really want is to be more present in my life- with my loved ones and treating each and every moment as a special experience. I've realized when it comes down to it our lives are full of so many opportunities and what matters is how we choose to use our time. With that said, I choose to use my time: with family and friends, going on adventures and being in nature, being more creative, making healthier choices and giving back. Thanks for reading.
