Not much can compare
to the sweet satisfaction of a
life well lived, a moment well spent.
Gratitude melts
in my mouth like a treat.
I have no words, but
a medley of feelings that sing from the heart.
It brings me closer to myself.
When the crisp cool breeze
tickles the tiny hairs behind my ears.
And I find myself
sighing
at deep hues fallen from
rainbows in the skies.
I inhale, exhale, and let it simmer.
There is joy here,
and I intend to keep it.
Photos from earlier this month. The MSC Magnifica had just made its maiden voyage to American Samoa in the morning, and after a short 12-hour visit, left the Pago Harbor that evening. We just got off work, and the water looked too good not to get in. Ian and Paolo paddled out to SUP surf while I tied up to the buoy, and watched this glorious golden hour scene.

We love spontaneous date nights around the island.
This was actually from last month, early September. I remember feeling so busy and stressed, and Ian (being the best bf ever) took me on a drive out west to catch the sunset. We parked off to the side of the road and just hung out on the truck bed, listening to the hum of the waves crashing, watching the sun go down, and talking stories. These are my favorite date nights…
I don’t always take my camera on date nights, but when I do, I’ll try to share photos here.
Last weekend in the treehouse with this golden gal, Shivaun.
Talking stories and laughing with rainbows, then running from dark squalls and eating homemade chocolate truffles.
She’s one of my faves.
Lit up my life
