HEIDI

Kezia and I collided one day -- the back of her head and my right eye. Here's the mark (after the swelling had gone down)

I just got asked to be the secretary of Kezia and Ivy's hula halau, NaLeiNaniOWaialua. I am grateful we can be a part of this halau and the cultural experience it gives the girls and all of us.

I'm still balancing family and teaching stand up paddling. I love befriending the people I take out, and having a great workout at the same time.

It was time to send Kezia back to school. I was nervous about doing so -- how she'll fit back in, if this was the best decision, etc. She's been back for 2 days now, and so far so good. I can breathe a bit easier now.

I finally got started on making the plot of dirt in the backyard into a garden, and I'm so proud of myself. I had the idea on Friday and did it on Saturday. I usually don't get a project done that fast. This week, I'll get plants in there. We already have a potted plant "garden", with swiss chive, tomatoes, peas, green onion, chives, a pineapple, zucchini and beans, chocolate mint and salad greens. This will be exciting to expand a bit.
