Do you ever have those days where you focus entirely too much on what’s missing in your life? I think we all do. I am 100% guilty as charged more than ever lately. Last night I was out running, most likely pondering something that’s missing, and then rapper T.I said these words into my earbuds: …

I am home in B.C for the holidays and I received a call from Hawaii on Wednesday that made my day. Uncle ‘Santa’ Sam called to tell me my article about him in Makai Ocean Lifestyle Magazine was published. He was getting calls from people seeing his face on the cover and telling him how …
