St. Francis of Assisi said many centuries ago:" A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows."  
Through this book I would like to be that little sunshine in your life that will drive away many shadows and introduce you to a touch of paradise.  

I live on the island of Oahu, Hawaii and love my days here. The Hawaiian Islands are truly beautiful, the people truly friendly. Here you can relax and enjoy a climate that is just right!  When I was 10 years old, I dreamt I would go to a place like this. At the time my life consisted of many sorrows, too many for a little child.

My dream became a reality, and through this book we will explore some of the natural wonders that surrounds my life and how you too can find strength and happiness wherever you live.

The book also contains many of my best pictures, so come and take some time out for yourself. Enjoy the book, the pictures and the timeless wisdom presented in these pages. I know you will be glad you did. With these words I would like to welcome you to my world!
