I recently contacted my old Journalism professor about writing opportunities and careers in writing, and he told me to start a blog. Ha! Not exactly the answer I was looking for, but appropriate nonetheless. So, here it is. Hopefully, this can serve as a link between my life in the islands and all of those friends and family back home (whom I miss soooo much!). I also hope this little blogspot will be a place to post my ideas, dreams, and fleeting thoughts. I have learned so much in the past year and a half while living on this little rock in the middle of the Pacific.
Island life has taught me so much about the importance and the need for community. From relationships with family and friends to everything in between. I'm realizing more and more my need for people. It sounds juvenile, but this has been a big breakthrough for my little mind to comprehend.
I really love living here! Paradise is all around me, all the time. Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in Peter Pan's Neverland that is more illusion than reality. Whether I'm swimming with the fishies or hiking around waterfalls, everyday represents a new adventure. My blessings are abundant, and my cup runneth over...way over!
Right now, finances are tight, love is in the air, and I'm taking a stab at Children's Book writing. We'll see how things pan out...in the mean time, welcome to Island Insights...
