nights 11 to 15



i am here, in hawaii. finally.

something about the timing of this trip has always resonated with me. arriving a week after a stressful move, offering up a time of introspection and reflection and pause {how often do i just stop and have time to just be??} after a big transition such as this...it all felt right beyond the excitement of traveling and getting to do something so fun for work.

all week i have been borrowing from the store of r & r time i anticipated receiving here, and it gracefully carried me through the first week and a half of nomadacy with more groundedness and ease than i could have believed possible that first broken night. so here i am, cashing in and feeling space for and around myself and the vacation portion hasn't even begun.

time to work but also time for a long run a mere hours after i landed. frangipani blowing along side me like some tropical tumbleweed while i stared down the ocean and circled the diamond head crater i've been assigned to hike up. the finale of the outing was a long stretch of tired limbs while my feet were flirted with by the pacific.

day one of hawaii: a success.
