Okay, wow. First of all, Happy New Year!

I'll admit - this whole "blogging" thing - it's been tough. I totally let it slip off my radar and made Instagram my focus - because why not? After all, it IS an extension of what you create and do.

But things have turned around for me these past few months, and I really want to make more of an effort to share with you the things that I am passionate about. And of course, the people that feed my passion and constantly inspire me.

And so why not start with a light little post to say HI, I'M HERE, and 2016 is off to a good start. I could probably write a novel on 2015 alone, but I'm not even going to go there. We all have our trials and tribulations, and really, none of us are going to get through this life unscathed. Let's focus on the positive; it's a new month, a new year, and a new post - so ha!

I'm still blowing up my feed with pictures from my latest trip to Hawaii - but I mean, let's be real, who can be offended by a sunset? I hope you enjoy these beauties as much as I did in real time!

Yours truly, Hayley
