Maui Vacation July 18, 2017 Christy Swenson MAUI WOWEE! I was fortunate enough to go to Maui for a week! a week ago. I have been looking forward to this since March and it was just the vacation i needed. I LOVE vacations where i get to lay around and have no agenda. When i found this 1933 pool on our little gated place i was in heaven. I played here and dipped in the pool for hours, reading, taking pics, doing nothing. Very different from my normal life back in Oakland. In 2 weeks my working life will change dramatically. I luckily got to lay around resting before the change happens. The change is a great one. I have been a teacher at Aveda for 4 yrs and I love my job, BUT, Aloeswood is calling. and i have been WAITING and WORKING 2 jobs for 2 + years full time for THIS very moment and i am going to appreciate every second that goes into creating my little dream. So Maui gave me the time to drift away, do nothing and dream as much as I can right now.... its hard to think and be creative when your busy with work so this was a much needed breather. My main objective to to be healthy, because , without that i cannot live a vibrant life... i cannot work etc.. What that means is everyday i will spend my mornings sweating, breathing, stretching and journaling, AND cooking my own food and being grateful! EVERY DAY!!!!!!! can you believe it! I will soon bring all of this to the Annex and teach morning yoga/meditation classes that will be gentle but have purpose. Im going to put my Christy twist on them and have a mini facial component and some sort of beautiful healthy drink offering as well. I CANT WAIT. 2 more weeks and then i take a mini reboot weekend with a girlfriend THEN August is MINE to create. Aloeswood is amazing and growing. I never knew it would be after all these years that my dream and passion are being expressed so fully. Hold onto your dreams everyone, never let go.Peace In and outChristy
