MapThe author John Steinbeck said the following about a journey: “A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.” The literal English translation of the Samoan phrase Le Folauga is, “The Journey”. As a freelance writer of more than a dozen years, I’ve found very few things that can properly and accurately represent life as does a journey. Like most people, an accumulation of life experiences has given me perspective. My view of the world can be warped, humorous, analytical, illogical and logical but it will never be the same as yours because we all see life through different lenses. I view my journey through the eyes of a Pacific Islander, born in the United States and raised in the islands of Polynesia.

CompassNavigating through life is a tricky affair. Without a little help, it can be pretty daunting. I believe that certain people and specific events are placed in our way to challenge and inspire us to become better, stronger. This is a list of nouns. They are people, places and things that inspired or continue to inspire me to be better and stronger. They have helped me to find my way. They encourage me to grow mentally, spiritually and physically. This is a living document. As long as I’m writing this blog, this list will grow. I encourage you to check back often. You may be surprised at what you find.

Her mother passed away when she was just a child but with no mentoring or formal tutoring, her natural ability to nurture others and come to the aid of those in need is legendary. As a teenager she left Samoa with her adopted family to begin a new life in New Zealand, Canada and eventually the United States. She loved music, dance, books and children.…
