Aloha Mountain Mindful Adventures

~Aloha. To learn what is not said, to see what cannot be seen, and to know the unknowable. ~Queen Liliʻuokalani

~Mountain. A generally massive and usually steep-sided, raised portion of the Earth's surface thought to contain divine inspiration. A focus of pilgrimages of transcendence and spiritual elevation. 

~Mindful. Conscious or aware of something.

~Spirit of Adventures. An exciting or unusual experience that may be a bold, usually risky undertaking, or hazardous actions of uncertain outcome.

Journey with me through reflections, wisdom and truths as we explore the heart, mind & soul gaining new awareness through what appears to be simple everyday living. We will discover and uncover the hidden magic within life's events and expose those places where opportunity lies to allow forgiveness and whole-hearted living while learning over and over how to live more in the present moment.

"The journey of the hero is about the courage to seek the depths; the image of creative rebirth; the eternal cycle of change within us; the uncanny discovery that the seeker is the mystery which the seeker seeks to know." ~ Joseph Campbell

Aloha & Ciao Beautiful Souls!

Aloha Mountain Mindful Adventures was inspired from years of journaling, a desire for deeper conversations, authentic connecting and being a lover of nature! I grew up on Long Island in New York. I am an Air Force veteran and have lived & traveled in some amazing places while taking lots of photos over the years. I enjoy yoga, hiking, snowshoeing, paddling, SUPing, exploring new places, photography, and am a deep lover of the stars.  


I am a life-long student dedicating my personal time by attending workshops to increase my knowledge of self-awareness, interpersonal skills, and to learn healing modalities. I have studied yoga, massage, sound healing, reiki, and astrology to name a few. I love sketching, journaling, creating art with nature or in nature! I love embracing the weather--rain, thunder, lightening, wind, snow--and taking a moment to listen for its' message. My life experiences include letting go of people pleasing, learning to speak up in relationships, meeting my own needs, teaching myself healthy coping skills, downsizing my home, creating flow in my home, purging/letting go of the  attachments to 'things' or people and codependency that were unhealthy and holding me back.  All of which allows me to continuously shift and create space in my life for new, fresh energy!

"Rivers flow not past, but through us: tingling, vibrating, exciting every cell and fiber in our bodies, making them sing and glide."   ~ John Muir

"You yourself are even another little world and have within you the sun and the moon and also the stars." ~Origen

"Stand like an oak,

An aspen,

An alder,

Its in you, dont faulter

And if so than i got you.

Fake it, walk taller

Anything that makes you feel smaller

Leave it by the angels of the water.

Push em up push em up.

Put away your cares.

Fold them, fold them,

Fold up your fears."

~Rising Appalachia
