Anyway, back to January. Back then I attended a conference in Honolulu, and finally experienced the sheer beauty of Hawaii. Join me as I time-and-place-travel back to Honolulu in January, to share some of what my eyes and heart took in.

I wandered a lot, getting lost in the bustling city of Honolulu. So much good food! Interestingly, some of the city reminded me of my hometown of Enugu, Nigeria, even though I was practically a world away.

Meditating on various forms of Beauty (in relationships, in nature, in my neighborhood, etc) has sustained me over the last few months. Here’s to more Beauty wherever and whenever we happen to be!
