It was a year of journeys

It was a year of journeys...and friends. I end this year where I started it - back in the islands with family. I spent January in Hawaii (Maui at Jeremy's, then Big Island at Julie's), then to Thailand to see Peter & Demi et al. I was 'home' in Ashland for March/April, then on to France and Italy for six months, and back to Hawaii late November. And through all my travels, the very best part was meeting new friends...and seeing old ones. Beautiful souls all!

Here's a peek 

at my kids and island ohana, 
then the lovely friends I made during my time in Europe. 

What a glorious year!

May each of you be blessed with the gifts of friendship and Aloha.
