At Papohaku Beach in March 2018, I took a mistaken path departing the beach. The further I walked, although I was entranced with the beauty and rippling with bliss from the day, it became more and more unfamiliar. I was likely on the wrong route to the road and my…
An entire day to be home, take a deep dive into projects, giving full permission for my yes to to be yes, and no to be no. This Saturday, to be deliberately true to this 21 day #DisruptTheGap and commitment to myself involved both FOMO and JOMO. The rising sun…
Some days, disrupt is disguised in simple gentle presence, and salt. “The cure for anything is salt: sweat, tears, or the sea,” wrote Isak Dinesen, author of Out of Africa. Time and again Dinesen’s words have proven true to me. On this Friday night, I add, so too is…
Navigating intensity, calm is gift within myself, and for others. Tonight, more words feel disruptive, and my spirit desires dynamic calm presence. So while Pandora plays, I visually wander through an afternoon of images from Kalani’s garden on the east side of Molokai Island. I am inspired to return to…
Today is about communication, skills, insight. Recognition of where I’ve been, where I am, and this spiral journey we each traverse in our own timing. More than 39 intersections revealed themselves in 15 hours, all while the power of precise words rippled in me. I thought of the gaps in…
A full workday, I passed three cars in 12 miles, along the dark and rainy two-lane road, arriving home a little past 9:30 p.m. Thoughts rippled today: I promised I’d write. Where’s my gap? What’s disrupting when my day is occupied by single-minded, multi-tasking focus. Have you heard the phrase,…
Day 4 of 21 – Vitality #DisruptTheGap What affects your energy? Is it possible to make a shift? If you judge yourself harshly, and talk negatively to yourself, would you kindly stop for a week to see what happens? It’s been time for me to start the 21 day “Clean”…
This first Saturday of 21 days in #DisruptTheGap revealed time. Minutes and hours pass so rapidly. Do you experience time passing more rapidly? True confession: I lose track of time, and I don’t accurately calculate how long something will take me. I often become completely absorbed in what I’m doing,…
Day 2 of 21 Locked gate, Mo’omomi cove It wasn’t, really. I could not figure out how to open it (nor could my photo workshop companion, Paul). We pried, tried, used a rock to tap it, finally concluded it was corroded from the salt air and there must be another entry…
It’s said that it takes 21 days to make a habit – you’ve heard this, right? In 21 days I’ll be visiting an island I love, on my way to a writer’s conference. I’m making a leap. There are areas in my life where I desire shift and change –…
