Dear Friends,
We are back from our vacation to the Big Island of Hawaii, the Kona side. It was a time of rest, renewal and relaxation. We noticed the laid back feeling and atmosphere. It felt like we were in a constant “alpha state.”
I did not expect to see so much black lava on this side especially from Kona north to Kawaihae. This is a very dry side of the island. We also traveled to Hilo, the wet, more lush side of the island and saw the steamy volcanoes.
So much to love…..
I loved watching the sun go down over the ocean. It was a magnificent reminder of God’s Highest Glory. I also loved being on the beach at night and seeing the wondrous brilliantly lit stars in the sky.
I loved hearing the soothing ocean waves put us to sleep every night. Ahhhhh….peace.

One of our favorite sights was visiting the Botanical Peace Gardens about 40 minutes south of Kona. Not easy to find, but amazing to see. There were gardens, a peace pole and shrines honoring many faith traditions. One man created a huge beautiful garden replicating the Galaxy. Each flower and bush represented stars, planets in our galaxy.
I loved the idea of a peace garden. Perhaps the next time you plant flowers consider it “Planting for Peace.”
We know every seed planted in soil is like a thought, planted in mind.
Seeds and thoughts will grow according to how they are nourished. We are coming into our Spring season so I ask you to think about how many seeds of peace are you planting today?
Plant your peace garden first in mind. Plant the flowers and vegetables in your soil next. Let every breath you take be one of peace, kindness and compassion. Allow every breath you release be one of love for self, human and animal kind.
Let us renew ourselves and the world with our personal peace and love.
