I picked up the phone
one day, and a voice
on the other end asked,
"Do you want to
go to Hawaii . . . tomorrow?”
Calmly and non-pulsed
I said, “Sure
. . . who is this?”
Twenty-four hours later
I was floating in the
crystal-clear waters
of Waikiki Beach with
the most wild, wacky,
spur-of-the-moment,
knock-you-off-balance
woman I know . . . my
friend, Launi.
Launi finds humor
in absolutely everything.
From the tragedies in
her life to the unexpected
detours, she approaches
every situation with
an inside-out, upside-down
perspective. In short,
Launi makes me laugh.
Since that very first
rendezvous, Launi and
I continue to sneak
off on these spur-of-the-moment
tropical vacations far
too often. We spend
the balmy days solving
the mysteries of the
deep, setting the course
of our uncharted future,
and laughing to the
point of sheer exhaustion.
The Divas of the Deep
collection, which includes "Love the Fin You're In", "Loving Life", "Being with My Mom" and "Girl-Fin", was born of these fun-filled,
girly-girl trips, brimming
with laughter, joy,
and more than a few
handfuls of sand in
our bottoms.
As you browse through
these pages, kick your
shoes off, turn on some
tropical tunes, and
let the tingle of the
sacred sisterhood bubble
up around you.
