Hello. I must admit that I am a bit intimidated right now. I would not call myself “computer savvy” so I am grateful to my fabulous business partner, who gently pushes me into the unknown blogging abyss. Here we go!

My bella adventure began last November when my husband and I took a much needed trip to Maui. Of course, I had my bellaball in my carry on luggage and was really fascinated at how much jostling it withstood… hence, they display a strength that belies their fragile appearance.

We were fortunate to be able to spend a glorious 3 weeks on the Island and I was constantly on the hunt to find just the right place to free my bella. Many days passed where I would carry my bellaball to different beaches, walking trails, and hiking locations. I actually considered taking it on an early morning eco-zip line excursion far up in the regions of Haleakala.

I am posting some of the different photos I took while waiting to find the perfect place to place my bellaball. My husband was a great sport packing my bella everywhere we went but his patience grew a little thin when I insisted we go to the Grand Wailea Hotel to capture some photos on their beautiful grounds. I am not a photographer but pretended to be as I was laying on the pathways to get the perfect angles.

The last four days of our trip were spent at the Hana Hotel and Resort. Mike and I were married there and we try to go back as often as we can because it truly is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I knew when we got there that this would be the place to send my bella into the world in hopes that a special someone would find it and feel the love, hope and joy it holds. Somewhere, in Hana, Hawaii, a beautiful green bella found a new home.

    I remember you at the gate….St. Louis, Pheonix, Dallas…..i dont know, but i remember the wink you gave your husband….and your gorgeous confidence! The pen….i still have it. Its Kip….the waiter from the plane…then you came to my restaurant. I just found your card…I mean months later…I came home from work tonight…and there it was…sitting on my desk out of nowhere, like one of your bellaballs! It was amazing to read your wonderful story of Maui, and you have inspired me so much!!! I must see you and Mike again when you return to Maui…..I want to cook with you and feed our souls with fresh food and old wine and Mikes guitar and a maui sunset…barefoot and comfy. I hope this finds you well and bella!!! With much Love and Aloha, its meant to be……Kip on Maui
