Happy Birthday to ME!

this is my wish for you: comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you are in doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, love to complete your life. -anonymous

Yaeee! What a great wknd to celebrate my bday! the big 2-9. Loving still being in the 20's haha. Went ocean kayaking with Jess and some girls here yesterday to celebrate my bday. So much fun! I have never really kayaked before so it was my first experience and intense! The waves were plentiful and made my tummy def feel nauseous. Luckily I didn't end up getting sick. We kayaked for over an hr to this little bird sanctuary island and relaxed/layed out there for an hr to take a break. Saw sea turtles during our kayaking too!! Headed back and got smoothies and shopped and shopped and got a great mexican dinner. Yum. Really fun day! Saw beautiful views of the coastline on our drive back towards the hotel. I cant get over how gorgeous it is here in Hawaii and how perfect the temperature is. I still can't believe I am here. Feel so lucky! And people say if you think its beautiful here than wait till you get to Kauai. I cant even imagine!!! Will send lots of pics for sure!

Graduation is this Saturday around 3pm. We unfortuantely will miss the dinner next door at the Hilton, suppose to be lots of great food, bcs our flight to Kauai leaves at 7pm.

So 5 days left to graduation! Can not believe it!!! Only 9 more yoga classes left and tons of lectures. Have lots of pics to upload and share with you all.

Talent show was this past Friday. Wow!!!! We have some really talented, hilarious, musical, amazing people here! Everyone that took part was so so great. Poems and music and stories and jokes and more music. I laughed so hard, got teary eyed, and just felt so blessed to be sharing my time with all these people at trianing. I had a moment of reflection during the talent show. I have shared so much time with everyone here and we have all been through so much together! I am anxious to get home and see my friends and family and everyone but def will miss seeing all these smiling happy faces here! More to come. Off to a lecture right now! * Sarah
