Swell Tidbits

There are so many reasons why I left New York City to live in paradise. Being healthy is one of them. I was please to find out through The Associate Press that Hawaii was ranked second in the nation as the healthiest state to live in. Hawaii’s strengths were low rates of uninsured and preventable hospitalizations, low levels of air pollution (yippee), strong per capita public health funding and low rates of cancer and cardiovascular deaths. Take a guess at who ranked as the number one state? Some of my guests from our April 2008 women’s surf camp live in this state. Can you guess what state it is? Here’s a hint…it’s in the east.

We are so excited to announce the launch of our brand new look and brand new website for our women’s and co-ed surf camps in Maui. We’ve added a brand new design, improved navigability, new images and slideshows and some exciting changes for our 2009 Surf and Yoga Retreats. You’ll have to check out our website to see what they are. We hope you like it…let us know what you think.

Big Mahalos to our amazing, patient and talented web designer, Joe Ferguson at Liquid Media Web Design in Maui.

Feeling Gratitude

I hope you all had a wonderful Turkey day and truly felt the power of gratitude. I know it may be difficult to find gratitude with an economy that isn’t at it’s optimal level. But this is a HUGE reminder to find gratitude of the most simple things in life.

Lahaina is where we are headed tonight. There will be 13 of us and we are doing a group costume. We are all going to be Super Heroes. You can be a Super Hero that is already in existence like Super Man, Iron Man, Spider Man, etc… or make up your own. I’m going to be Super Pink. Everything I touch turns to pink!
