Unexpected MAGIC!

When you do what you love and love what you do MAGIC happens!

I wanted to capture one of my sister girls and her paddling sisters doing something very special yesterday.

An epic event for Hui Nalu Org – The Kaʻapuni Oʻahu!

Little did I know that at this special paddling event Iʻd not only make so many wonderful new friends, I would also reconnect with old ones!

One of my Spartan Sisters happen to be on the beach capturing her son as he paddled the Heʻeia to Hakipuʻu leg during the Kaʻapuni Oʻahu 110 Year Celebration. I havenʻt seen Lisa since high school so you can imagine how over joyed I was to see her again!
Needless to say, it was A-U-T-Omatic that I documented this wonderful mama beaming over her beautiful son who had just done something EPIC in his 12 year old life!

AND I got to meet the rest of her tribe as well!

See, when youʻre in service to and for others, thatʻs when the unexpected happens….moments like these.

Blessings of reconnections, reunions and even NEW friendships!

Lisa, LOVE seeing you again and meeting your boys!  I can tell that you love being a mama because your keikis are soooo happy!!! Mahalo for your smiles, kindness and ALOHA!! Takes me right back to the good olʻ days of Smurfy times! You are still as cool and badass as ever, sister!!
