Aloha! Are you new to my blog? I've noticed some new faces (and uh...other body parts - darn anonymous spammers) over in the sidebar and wanted to extend a warm, Hawaiian welcome to my new readers. I'd love a chance to connect with you, so please don't be shy! Introduce yourself, say hello and let me know a few things:
- Who are you?
- Where in this world are you?
- Do you blog? (if so, link, please!)
- Ever been to Hawaii? Which island(s)?
- What are you listening to?
- What are you reading?
- What inspires you?
Play along...make my day! Mahalo. :)
What a cute idea, and I totally almost spit my drink out when I read 'and uhh .. other body parts' LOL!
ReplyDeleteHi Angie! I've been following along for a while, but I have a bad habit of just reading in Google Reader and that's it haha. But I couldn't resist answering your questions!
ReplyDeleteI'm Vanessa and I live in Honolulu! My little blog is http://apostrophethecat.com. Currently listening to the Adele station on Pandora. Reading The Son of Neptune (by the author of the Percy Jackson series). Lately I've been inspired by so many blogs, my mom, my sister, and good friends to name a few!
Hello!! I have been following your blog since around December, but I'm pretty sure we haven't introduced each other haha... I think? Anyway
ReplyDeleteI am Karm
I live in eastern Arizona.
Yes I blog over at <a href="http://karmloveslife.blogspot.com>Love & Football</a>
I have never been to Hawaii ): But I want to someday.
At the moment, some internet hip hop station. haha
No books I am currently reading.
The various photos inspires me to capture beautiful photos...
I think that is it.
Hi Angie!
ReplyDeleteI am in rainy Vancouver,Canada. I have been following in the last little while. Was in Maui last year and loved it.
No blog, just finished the Hunger Games books on my daughters recomendation. I am inspired by creation, friends and family.
Ahem! *clears throat*
ReplyDeleteI'm Emily grapes..but you know that
In Cali...I think you knew that too
I do, I'm gonna leave my blog a mystery..until the end
I HAVE been...just a couple times though..and only to 4 of the islands.
I'm listening to the cars on the road passing my apt. Some drive way to fast.
I'm reading a friend's friend's book, called 60 acres and a bride...reminds me of 40 acres and a mule from Gone with the Wind and its hard to get past that
Pretty orchards inspire me. I can't get enough of beautiful plants and me taking pictures of them.
Emily at Amazing Grapes

Aloha Angie! I'm Shannon and have been following your blog for a few months. I discovered your blog through A Maui Blog, which I found from following Roxanne Darling. I live outside Chicago, but lived in Waianae on Oahu for a glorious year after college. Hawaii stays in your soul-hence I follow Hawaiian blogs and dream of retiring there decades in the future. My husband's extended family are from Kaneohe, so at least we visit now and again.
ReplyDeleteI have been listening to The Descendants Soundtrack and Adele 21 and finished Minding Frankie, by Maeve Binchy recently-total chick lit. I am inspired by my 2 small sons' zest for life, my dog's faithfulness and devotion, my husband's genuine love for us and the ocean. Thanks for sharing your Hawaiian adventures and letting me dream about "some day..." No blog,yet. Perhaps a summer project?
Aloha! Such a happy sounding word :)
ReplyDeleteI am Lecinda and I live in Melbourne, Australia :) I have been reading your blog for a few months now and and I blog {mostly for me} at www.bohemianbeautiful.com.au.
I have not been to Hawaii but I would love to go one day, some of my friends have been and I can tell from your photos it is a beautiful place! I am listening to the radio at the moment, and I am currently reading Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier {awesome writer if you like romance/fanstasy, I own all her books}.
Love inspires me, in all its forms, as does the beauty of life :)
Nice to meet you!
Hello Angie!
ReplyDeleteI have been reading your blog for a while..I really enjoy it :)
I love in the middle of the Canadian Prairies..right now we are falling out of winter/into spring, that makes me happy!! I have never been to your wonderful state but it is on my list..disney opened a resort there, I would like to see that. I blog at www.grooveygrover.blogspot.com and love to have visitors..stop by! I only read the internet right now..I have a short attention span and like to be looking at multiple windows at once..I have lost patience for books, sad I know. However a good thing is that most of my inspiration comes from the net, bloggers & different websites really get my attention!
Have a great day :)
Well, you kind of know me...I'm Tania on Maui, in Kihei and yes I blog (mauishopgirl). I've been listening to slacker - classical, old rock and top 50 of 2011.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading The Writing Diet and Food Rules (both beautiful and well written books), I'm trying to get back to 110, my pre Maui weight (now pushing 150).
Many every day things can inspire me...also beautiful small homes, creative people and beautiful local grown/raised food.
haha...what a warm welcome. First of all thanks for dropping by my blog. I am from Singapore, I have never been to Hawaii but would love to some day. I am listening to the tock tock sound from my son's bouncing tennis ball now. I am currently trying to read The minds of Boys. I am constantly inspired by God and pinterest .

You know me sort of but not really. I'm Jen but only to family & friends. Lol. I live in Maui.
ReplyDeleteI have a personal blog for family & friends well anyone interested in reading. www.pedigomaui.blogspot.com
I've traveled to Lanai & Oahu.
I listen to country music & TV decorating shows.
I just finished the trilogy of The Hunger Games. Wonderful easy read.
I'm inspired by God's amazing world and opportunities.
New body parts huh! How nice of those spammers! So the countdown is on only four more weeks until I visit your beautiful island again! Hope that we get a chance to meet up with you and Phil this time. Did I say thanks for the inspiration that your blog brings to me!
ReplyDeleteHi Angie!
ReplyDeleteI'm Jacquelynn from Cleveland, Ohio, and I blog over at http://blog.jacquelynnhongosh.com/.
I've never had the pleasure of going to Hawaii, and truth be told, I didn't actually have much of a desire to until I started reading your blog. It sounds awfully lovely though and I just might have to add it to my list of future destinations.
At present I'm listening to Camille's Le fil and reading Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking.
I'm currently inspired by the colors navy and mustard—relatedly: I'm a graphic designer. ;)

ReplyDeleteHi Angie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun invitation, how can I resist! I have been following along here for a few months, I am so inspired by your blog but rarely comment. One of the things that is so wonderful for me about coming here is getting glimpses of your Hawaii, it is one of my favorite places on earth!!
I'm Faith, I live by the sea in Charleston, South Carolina, we moved here last summer after 15 years in NYC! I blog here http://harmonyandfaith.blogspot.com/
I've been to Hawaii a bunch of times, to Kauai, Oahu and the Big Island, but the north shore of Kauai is my absolute favorite, my husband and I hope to own a home or condo there one day!
I listen to Dan Zanes in the car a lot with my kids! Right now I'm reading Bill Bryson's latest book about the history of home, fascinating!
I'm endlessly inspired by nature, by beauty and by people who are not afraid to show whats inside.
You already know me, but I figure why not play along.

I haven't been on all the islands. I've visited Kaua'i and Big Island (Hilo, Kona, Volcano). I wanna go to Molokai, just to pick up some Molokai bread. LOL
Currently, FUN. That's what they are...fun! LOL
I'm only reading my textbooks at the moment, but if I had time right now, I would read Problogger or The Sweetest Revenge.
Many things inspires me, like sunsets, love, my dogs. haha.
HI Angie!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog from the Discovery Street Blog and I love it! You seem so sweet and I love catching up with you. My husband is Tongan and his family lived in Hawaii for some time, so we'd love to eventually make it back to Hawaii to live for good! (We live in Montana currently, and just got a ton of snow last night!). I've been to Oahu and Maui, though the hubs has been to all the islands. We actually got married in Hawaii too!
I blog over at www.meganithappen.blogspot.com
Thanks for writing, as I really enjoy reading!

Hi! I just discovered your blog today and thought it was very nice to be greeted by such a welcoming post! So -- I'm Suzanne. I'm from Ontario, Canada, but am currently living in the US of A where my husband is attending seminary. I write about our somewhat exciting adventures at www.suzanneelyse.blogspot.com.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Hawaii! But you make it look quite nice. I'm listening obsessively to Flame's new album, The Sixth. I'm reading way too many books at once which creates a lot of plot confusion... and I'm inspired by the outdoors, kids, and, though perhaps cliche, the Bible. Big time.
Looking forward to keeping up with your blog!
I love this! I am NOT new here, but I'd love to play!
ReplyDeleteI am Ann!
I live in Florida!

So many things - God, my husband, my sisters and recipes!
