Hawaii {Ka’ena Point State Park}

Posted on 07/29/2017 by Maria Peterson

I was blessed enough to join Sherri, Bert, Bella, Chloe, and Christian in this majestic place in Oahu, Hawaii. So blessed that I stuffed my eyes with all this beauty…even if it was only for a few hours.

This was the last photo before I fell, my right foot hit a rock (dislocated my toe), and my camera swam in the ocean and experienced major water damage! I wish I had more time to go out in the water but I had to be thankful for the time I had. RIP my beloved Canon 5D Markii.

Being with Christian and Chloe in Hawaii is such a dream! Having fun with them and taking photos of them is therapeutic for my momma’s heart. Love these two so much and they are definitely a match made in heaven!

Hawaii {Green World Coffee Farm}

Hawaii’s beauty is beyond words. I am so honored that I get to experience a real coffee farm and even discovered a little nest while I was there. Unreal.

The coconut macaroons at this place were AMAZING!!!

Hawaii {Maunalaha Trail}

Posted on 07/24/2017 by Maria Peterson

Get outside and be astounded regularly by God’s creation. There are so may facets of Him and He reveals Himself and heals you through nature. I will never forget this hike with my daughter (Chloe) and son-in-law (Christian)…in HAWAII. It was almost a four mile hike and most of it felt like the jungle. We even picked a wild fruit to eat and I found several streams of clean water to wash my face. It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done.
