E Komo Mai~













I am beginning this blog at the request/ suggestion of my mentor and surrogate mother. Best I can describe as to what I desire it to become is simply my own musings about everyday life. What I see through the eyes of a 27 year old Peter Pan who is constantly asking herself "What does it mean to grow up?" (And why do all the grown ups that I know seem so pissed off at life, ornery and disgruntled?)

I have been a gypsy of sorts since reaching the year of 18. I feel that the world is amazing and has so many things to see, people to meet, stories to hear. These restless feet have wandered all over, just seeking.....seeking truth, beauty, simplicity, and also seeking how not to seek and, rather, cultivating the art of letting myself "be."

I am a mess. A beautiful and complicated, silly mess of a woman-child. I like to think I am funny at times, seeing the world in my slightly askew way. I am healing. I am hoping. I am learning. I invite you to come along and dance with me. Make mistakes with me. Laugh at the insane situations I daily find myself in, and revel in the amazing thought that we share so much in common....even the little things...like laughing through pain, toe-thumbs, cabbage patch kid cheeks, crooked teeth, frizzy, afro hair, and the shared desire to burst into spontaneous song. (Yes, indeed) Nice to meet you. As we say in Hawaii....E Komo Mai~
