The Left Thing

Today let's talk about doing the left thing,..

We spend our lives trying to do what's right, the right thing, dating the right person, toeing the line, counting the

calories, prioritizing our to do lists... asking ourselves, "what's left for today?" Maybe sometimes we need to stop and answer that question... or question that answer - and do the thing left to do - the one you inwardly wish was at the top of the list but just keeps tripping off, lower, farther away from your constricted vision.

This week I'm gonna experiment and try to do what's left - smile at that person I wouldn't have thought twice to smile at, listen to that person that just needs an ear, and go to the place that's scary because I have no idea what lies there...(i.e. a volcano with a crazy fire goddess, no offense Pele)

Cuz that's what's left... those places where you're always guessing, never knowing.

If you never try new things, how will you know if what you're doing is really the best way, the most efficient way, the way that works for you? So I encourage you to do the "left thing" and maybe it'll help with figuring out what the priorities really are, not just what they should be. Tomorrow I fly as far left as I can without leaving the islands altogether to Far Away Hawai'i aka The Big Island aka The Island of Adventure.

Travel has been a measuring stick of sorts, for relationships - especially with guys... sometimes it's been successful but most times it's been like two male peacocks showing their colors, mine have kinda been more like phoenix feathers, damn competitive Scorpio side...so I'd win...

This trip is gonna be DIFFERENT and probably ridiculous.

72 hours, 200+ miles and "Hawai'i: The Big Island Revealed" with a man I live with but have no romantic attachment to; we wont say there is no dangerous liason because we come close to killing each other daily, but that's to be expected when close proximity between a male and female is involved. But boil it down, and we're similar, not the same, but similar. We can share humor and for the most part ying and yang. I gotta tell you. he's an extremely patient person; you'd have to be to live with me... but we're learning constructive compromisation, (is that even a word?) and see what kind of adventures we can uncover going left.

These next few days are gonna be tragedy, drama or comedy, and I can't bloody wait to share it with you. ;)

For the most part we go holoholo
but along the way
we're gonna reach for the harvest moon, so at least if we fall we'll land on a green sand beach ;)

Where's in Hawai'i is bonvivantwahine?

Da Hawai'i Drum List:

Swim in a volcano-fed hot spring
Hunt for a couple cascading waterfalls
Wiggle toes in different- colored sand beaches: green, black, white
Be awed and humbled by lava flow at night
Howl at the harvest moon
Grab a beer at the Southern most brewpub in the US
Pick macadamia nuts
Drink Kona coffee in Kona!!


The list will grow as adventures are had... recommendations welcome, No reservations required. ;)

Aloha!
