aloha e komo mai


Hello and welcome!  So I decided to start a blog.  Enough people have praised me for my creativity and writings that I figured I should embrace the gift and give it a chance.  Don't be too critical now…I'm still not totally convinced I'll be any good at this!  And to those of you who have gently (and not-so-gently) pushed me into writing more…congratulations, you win.  Here we go….

So…what should you expect from here?  Not much!  This will be very simple…reflections about faith, life, and relationships…entirely from my perspective, experiences, and thoughts.  This is not academic, although my nerdy side will inevitably come out.  This is not Church doctrine, although my theological background will show occasionally.  This is not professional or tied to any job, institution, or particular affiliation, although many of my thoughts and experiences will come from such places.  This is not intensely personal, although my personality will shine through.  This is just simple me, exercising my curiosity and wonder as I reflect on the happenings of my young adult life. 

Naming this was a tough one.  I went for 'The Essential is the Interior" because it is, in my humble opinion, the wisest thing Fr Chaminade said.  Taking care of our heart and interior life is the single most important part in our journey to eternal life…yet it is so often the most overlooked.  I will be the first to admit it-I am sooooo guilty of forgetting to take time to work on me!  So, as a result of (1) needing to take more time for me, (2) needing a platform for my ponderings, and (3) attempting to exercise and expand this writing-gift….I've landed on writing this blog!  So thank you, who-ever-you-are, for reading, and I'll do my best to keep you engaged :)
