Hawaii: Paradise of the Pacific
Hawaii is one of those captivating places that most everyone dreams of experiencing at some point in their life. While there is no shortage of gorgeous beaches around the world, there is something about Hawaii…a quality…that draws people in.
The French would probably call that “Je ne sais quoi.” But, I suspect it is the Spirit of Aloha that attracts visitors far and wide. Aloha is more than a greeting. It is a way of living. Aloha means “presence of breath” or “the breath of life.”
This can be experienced within minutes of landing in Hawaii. When you step off the plane, take a huge inhale of fresh ocean air and exhale all your stresses, you know you’re in paradise.

Smooth Sailing
Location: Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii
Orientation: Landscape
Who doesn't love smooth seas...literally and figuratively. Well, surfers I suppose.
For most of us, we prefer those times in our life that feel like "smooth sailing." Yet, moments such as that are fleeting.
Franklin Roosevelt said, "A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor."
When we learn and grow from the challenges we face, calm and joyful moments like this grow even sweeter.
