A Luv Story Built On Trust

We talked for months before we went out,

and getting to know one another on a daily basis

from just messaging one another,

really pointed out how much we have in common.

It’s crazy how much we think alike.

We have overcome so many obstacles.

We were first told we shouldn’t be together,

and I knew what was right,

and we stuck by each other’s side.

The glue that has stuck us together,

I would have to say is honesty.

We have so much trust in our relationship,

there is no such thing as “worrying”.

I love that we can trust one another,

and still do the things we love,

with or without each other…. but at the end of the day,

we want to be a part of any exciting adventure we come across.

“Great minds think a like” really speak volumes for us 🙂

Tommy has a way about him

that makes you want to better yourself.

He has so much determination

and works so hard for what he wants.

I swear, our relationship was built from so many obstacles,

and what doesn’t kill us,

only makes us stronger:)

A Luv Story Blessing Built On Trust

Started their relationship in a Noble way.

While most dive right into a surface only physical distraction,

Only to realize they have nothing to talk about the next morning…

Talking to each other for months

before they ever went out on a date,

Assured that True Love was building upon

the commonalities they both share.

Enlightened Sages state that:

Everything that has happened… Had to.

There is a perfection in everything that ‘Is’.

There is Grace and Divinity in every pain in the arse challenge,

Yet,

Without these challenges that inspire us to rise above it,

There would be no way to

Transcend to a Deeper person of Higher Consciousness.

We gain the confidence that we can overcome obstacles

that seem more than we can handle at the time.

By way of example,

we inspire others to succeed and prosper as well.

Honesty is a Virtue both Ashley & Tommy share also

This intrinsically creates a dependable Trust.

Trust creates a space of Loving Kindness

in which ‘Worry’ has no place.

A wise sage in a Harry Potter movie stated:

“Don’t Worry! You’ll only suffer twice”

:-O

A relationship built on transcended challenges

will ultimately have rewards that are

beyond the wealth of money or the concepts of words

It will feel like Bliss… Like when,

Your baby says mommy or daddy for the 1st time,

Or they take their first step

Do good in school

Graduate from college

Call with news that you will soon be Grandparents …

Hard won Gratitude and Appreciation will also feel like Bliss…

With each breath of fresh air, each awesome sunset,

every single moment will have the beauty of perfection in all that ‘Is’.

Gee – it sure would be swell by golly…

If we could count on a rosy time in life that

everything was without challenges. 

But…

As much as one can

hope, pray, meditate or mumble a mantra that would somehow

change the entire space-time continuum that we observe to be reality…

to magically bend to our grasping clinging

hopes, fears and desires for our version of perfection…

Most folks tend to take this rout

Which only deepens the pain and suffering further

While Ashley & Tommy here don’t just survive…

They Thrive!

Challenges will always be there…

The only thing we can change is our attitude towards life,

With the ‘Right Perspectives’

one sees the perfection in the ever-present moment.

By experiencing the perfection of everything that ‘Is’,  

Creates a Reality of Pure Bliss.

Do this together, in love with the ever-present moment…

And you will have Eternal Marital Bliss.

May you always have what you need within to stay alive & Thrive,

Get ‘er dun and become stronger physically and Spiritually.

The Start of 2020

Our business was doing great, but we still couldn’t afford to buy a house or a condo. Renting in Maui for another 30 years was not an option we wanted to take. Then, Bobbie Jo suggested we buy a sailboat that is comfortable to cruise and live in. By the end of January, we started looking for our new home.

After a long search, we found our dream boat in Mazatlan, Mexico. COVID-19 was not yet a concern when our boat hunt began, but masks were starting to appear at airports by the time we flew to Mazatlan. Originally, we had planned to get the boat ready as fast as possible to cover a full calendar for the busy wedding season. However, it was apparent our business was going to tank amid the pandemic, and the struggle went on until the end of the year.

Luckily, we scored an awesome condo for only $19 a day at Mazatlan. On the 10th day of our stay, we received the news that all harbors will be closed the next Monday morning. We thought we’d be stuck in Mexico longer, but another sailor advised us to leave before sunrise.

We felt the adrenalin of escaping the Mexican harbor master just before the sun rose that faithful day. The seas were rough as waves were building up in the tight channel that led us to the open ocean. We ended up anchored off an adorable little isle just a mile offshore. We enjoyed cruising to many spectacular anchorages and cute villages on our way to Puerto Vallarta, where we would depart for Maui on May 7. On May 30, 2020, we completed our 24-day passage from Mexico to Maui.
