In addition to their love of exploration, hiking, travel, dance and adventure, Parker and Renee share an appreciation for a certain musician who they invited to perform at their wedding, which allowed me to check something off my bucket list ~ performing a ceremony WITH him!!!!! 😳🤩🤯😲
They welcomed the beautiful music of the insanely talented guitarist @moseslinmusic 🎶🎼🎵🎸 From the moment guests arrived, Moses played the tunes we all know, love and recognize instantly. The rich sound resonated from his instrument through the speakers, filling Paliku Gardens with all the more beauty. What a privilege and honor to celebrate a beautiful couple, together with a passionate team of wedding vendors. Mahalo Moses for sharing your gift with us here in Hawai'i. 🌺 Hope you had fun surfing the next day!!!!
Congratulations Parker and Renee!!! You were surrounded by so many people who love you so much! ♥️♥️♥️

A lot has changed since we first camped on Mt. San Jacinto and attempted to hike to the peak 8 years ago. Well, we made it to the top and, lemme tell ya, it was all worth it!

I remember hearing stories about Rodney King and the subsequent riots as a kid. My father was part of LAPD during that time. As I grew older I was interested to know more. I watched documentaries and youtube videos about it. I remember seeing what happened to Reginald Denny and feeling a sense of sorrow for him, an innocent truck driver that lost his life. However, I did not feel the same sorrow and anguish about what happened Rodney King.
As I’ve grown older(and hopefully wiser), I realize now why that was wrong. Why would I feel differently about two sad and unjust events?
The answer is privilege.
Some of the most kind, caring, and influential people in my life are still part of law enforcement. To them I say: keep on shining up your badge and being an example of what it means to protect and serve. We’re counting on you.
To our black community: I know you are hurting, and I am hurting now too. I wish I stood up for you sooner. I’m here now.
I’m choosing now to speak up because I we need change. I dont have the answers, but I do have a voice.
Wishing the human race the power to heal, and for us to be the change this country needs. Black lives matter. #blackouttuesday
