out for talks and walks

I have found that I love to walk here! I find great joy in taking in some of nature's surprises, complimented by some of mans. The thing about walks for me, is I leave the world behind, meaning my phone gets put on silent, ( I take it b/c I could get lost)  my camera and a mind full of things to sort out and think about. This week, in church the relief society lesson was on temples. Do you know that from orange county, there are 4 temples with in an hour? I have been to three of them. I have never in my entire life lived more than an hour from a temple. I have participated in a temple open house and celebration, and have never missed a temple more in my life than now. My relief society president tried to explain how it feels at he temple. I really took that to heart. So most of my walk was spent trying to put into a few short sentences how I feel in a temple.

I feel eternally loved.
I feel at peace, not just in my mind but in my heart.
I know that I am a daughter of God, and he embraces me while I am in his house.
I want to stay as happy as I am in the temple outside of the temple.

I know this won't even truly explain the gratifying feeling while we are there but it brought some peace to mind trying to sum it up, as well as a need to go to the temple.

Now my walks are a lot like traffic, I know i need to clear my head, when I dont mind traffic or I feel the urge to go on a walk.

Here are a few picture of my fabulous walk.



the neighbors goat!






biggest moth I have ever seen

Hey Hey!

Well, I had my first day off in two weeks! So needless to say it has been creative chaos at the studio with new Freelancers coming in and out like the trade winds in Poipu! The people I meet have the coolest personalities and needless to say amazing designing capabilities. Going to work is like going to school everyday I learn something new or a whole chapter worth of information. I recently spoke with grandpas on fathers day and when they asked about my experience here in Kauai, I realized how much I learn everyday, and how much I really enjoy it!


I hope that I can use this experience to help other girls and women to not be afraid but to take the chance and find the courage to always learn and grow.  I have worked with some amazing women these last few weeks and really admire their love of always growing and working as hard as I have ever seen anyone work. I hope when I grow up I can be like some of the women I work with.

I enjoy people watching as well as connecting with people on a one on one experience, To sit and watch in the studio would be a dream! But I have to work to keep up with everyone. One of the things I learned this last week is the best event florist is the invisible one. The one who comes in, sets up and is gone in a flash, and the customer had no idea you were even there. Essentially the florist creates magic the flowers aren't there the next minute the room blooming:) enjoy the pun. I love the magic of it, to create the atmosphere  of a great day and great night which equals a day to always remember.
