Got our Covid vaccines. Never once had to justify why to anyone. In fact, Maui wants you to get vaccines so much, they’re giving people coupons and popcorn! 🎉

Before I read the news, here’s a minor jungle-garden update. Musashi’s first time at the garden, we have a spider, monster onions, and sweet potatoes that grew by themselves.

Walked to the corner farmers market for some sunshine, snacks, and so everyone could shriek over Musashi like we walked in with a bushbaby on a leash

I’m not sure any of it is still there but last week I dropped off a bunch of art at the Little Free Art Gallery in Makawao! (And I will be doing more.) Near the sidewalk in front of the library ✨ #littlefreelibraries #maui #publicart

People who knew me before 2020 are used to my artsy, dorky video making, but if you’re new to this, surprise! :) I have renewed purpose. Now it’s about a quest to improve myself, because although I can’t change the world, I can always strive to be better. That’s something, right?

Midnight (…okay 2am) snack of kūlolo. I ate the entire thing. I didn’t take a photo because I thought it would look weird on camera (it does) but here’s the actual brand I ate. ‘Ono kalo (a me niu)

These are progress shots from 2 painting commissions I’m working on. They will be my last for a while as I focus on new art forms and evolving my mind and soul to match the situation facing us. Evolving myself is a work in progress that may never be finished.
