I have been very irregular with writing this year (alas!), so this gives me so much joy to finally get down to writing this post about the magical, tucked away place that is Pt. Reyes. I had booked my 5 year old, my mom and me in a private room at the beautiful Pt Reyes... Continue Reading →
This April I flew to Long Beach, CA for a spiritual weekend with Sadhguru. I had been interested to go to one of his events, especially the one where he teaches you a life changing meditative technique, aptly called 'Inner Engineering'; but never quite had the 'nudge' to actually book my tickets and go. I... Continue Reading →
I recently spent a month in India with my loving little 5 year old. It was wonderful to be amongst friends and family, not to mention have 30 fabulous sunny days with that perfect 75F temperature. The city I grew up in is now overpopulated with a lot of people moving in from other states, so... Continue Reading →

After the Haleakala Sunrise on Day 1, and the clear, clean blue waters of Kaanapali beach, I was excited to go to the road to Hana. If you meet me, I might perhaps remind you of Hermoine Granger, hence it's not a surprise that I had read all about the road to Hana on the plane,... Continue Reading →
By the time we got back to the hostel in Paia from the Haleakala sunrise it was already 8 am on Friday, and we were all exhausted from the 3:30 am waking up. I wanted to take a nice nap in my low bunk bed, but we were hungry and Shanna prepared some chocolate chip... Continue Reading →
