Here we are looking at a New Year! Aloha 2017. This year flew by and looking back there a lot of terrific memories of time spent with family and friends. I am so grateful for all the moments and challenges. 

We felt pretty damn lucky to close out 2017 with a vitamin D recharge and some serious relaxation in Hawaii!  Did someone say MaiTai's and sun? Yes. Please.  Compliments of my husband's job we we went to Maui and then headed to Oahu to visit my mom who recently moved back. 

Here's a highlight of our 14 glorious days chilling in paradise. My photos will never capture the true beauty of these beautiful and sacred islands.  May your New Year be "Luckey" and filled with peace and prosperity!

A 2018 professional development goal is to learn how to capture the stars. So I took advantage of the the star gazing, which was spectacular to work on my skills. This was my best image from a series mistrials.  I can still smell the Plumeria flowers hanging in the air when I look back at these images.
