“You just have to live today.
And I think one of my
New Year’s resolutions is definitely
trying to stop and live in the moment
and cherish it.”

Eating My Way Through the Holidays
Festive Foods! Good times naturally accompany good food. Every family has its favorites. Some indulge in time-worn traditions while others enjoy modern classics. As you embrace the holidays with companionship, nostalgia, food, or festivities, celebrate the spirit of the season. In the next few weeks, join me as I share favorite foods as well as healthy options. Bring it home for the holidays with Festive Foods!

Dining Outside the Home: Garden Island Barbecue & Chinese Restaurant in Lihue, Kauai
Dining Outside the Home: Garden Island Barbecue & Chinese Restaurant in Lihue, Kauai. A true sign of a popular eatery is a full parking lot before you ever set foot inside the door. In the short time it takes to park the car, pay attention to the steady flow of customers clutching brown bag take-out orders. Proof positive something pretty tasty is going on inside. The wait staff is practiced in efficient service, yet patient enough to answer questions and offer suggestions. Another plus. Casual dining means a table for two as well as larger tables for friends and family-size groups. I’m not gonna lie. An extensive menu offers choices beyond your wildest expectations. Szechuan for a kick of spice, a healthy dose of vegetables, tasty barbecue combos, sizzling beef, mixed seafood platters, and more. Ample servings and portion sizes make sharing delightful. After all, who doesn’t enjoy nibbling a bite or two of something different? Get off the beaten path and mingle with locals.
It’s All in the Family
“When I see a bird that walks
like a duck and swims like a duck
and quacks like a duck,
I call that bird a duck.”

Fly Without a Plane
“If you wish to fly to new heights,
begin by setting your sights
on a destination you can reach
and then create a flight plan,
a map, that will be your guide.”

Merry Christmas!
“Jesus is God’s perfect, indescribable gift.
The amazing thing is that not only
are we able to receive this gift,
but we are able to share it
with others on Christmas
and every other day of the year.”
