The day was whizzing by and I had a desk full of paperwork, a stack of photo sessions to get online and a lunch that was getting cold on my desk. I’m in my office and as I turned around, I see my Gaylynn standing there with arms wide open and the biggest smile you...

My niece, Gaylynn
The phone rang and I answered to a “she’s here, come on down”. It was my brother Happy calling us to inform us that his wife just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Both excited and anxious, my mom & I quickly hopped in her car and drove to Kapiolani Medical Center to see...
Motherhood
As many of you know, I am a family girl and am in love with my family, even though they can drive me crazy at times! And, I do mean CRAZY, haha. The family values I have were started when I was growing up in beautiful Hawaii. Family gatherings, functions, dinners, parties; whatever you want...
Rock on!
Last night was my first night back to the gym. [applause]. I did what I do with everything else. I put it in my iCal. For all of you mac users out there, you know what I’m talking about. iCal is my savior, my director, my coordinator…my everything. I think I would be completely lost...
Family first
Last week I was waken up by the shaking and movements of someone crying, only to find tears falling down from my closed eyes. It was me. I was crying hysterically and my trembling body is what woke me. It was a horrible dream…a nightmare actually. While I won’t go into details because it is...

Yes, my man and my protector just turned 10 today or 70 for those of you counting in doggie years. The number NINE is said to bring good luck, so when I found out my puppy was born on 9/9/99, I knew that this little guy, who was all of 10lbs when I first got...
Happy Birthday Mommy!
Yes, today is August 18th, a very special day for me. Since this was the day my mother was brought into this world years ago, it has been marked a day that I look at with joy and happiness. My mother is an asthmatic that has seen her fair share of hospitals and ambulances. Back...
Michael Jackson’s memorial
As I sat and watched the Michael Jackson memorial at the Staples Center this morning, I found myself reflecting back on my life and my childhood growing up with Michael Jackson and his music. I first became a fan of Michael when I was in elementary school and Thriller was the top selling album....
My rockstar, Bailey
Today is a July 1st and a special day…Bailey’s birthday . A few months back I took Bailey to the vet for a checkup only to find out her life was in danger and I had to schedule an emergency surgery with any hopes of survival. You can read about that post here. The...
