Paris, France (2017)
I am known as Hawaiian Girl in the running community; Happy Hawaiian Runner is my way of sharing my journey as I had to start my life after years of domestic violence tore it apart. I have started chasing my dreams. I am a survivor. I have my good days and my bad days where my past sneaks up on me. I am learning how to deal with it, little by little, one day at a time. I discovered myself through running and working out. I hope that by sharing my journey I hope to inspire individuals to live life in a positive light and that you can accomplish your dreams. It’s all about you, and you do it for nobody but yourself.
