That isn't to say that Hawaii's better. On the mainland, everyone seems to be trying to get somewhere. Kids are taught to shoot for the moon, to believe in their ability to do anything, to follow their passions. In Hawaii, you're stuck in the middle of the Pacific, and it can be difficult to see how you're going to follow your passion from there.

In some ways, I'm relieved that I didn't have a son.

I guess I crave stability.

I want to play until the end.

My motivation has always been health - eating healthy and taking care of myself.

The key is that I control my life; my life doesn't control me.

The HoneyLine is my web site and TV segments that were birthed out of the stark reality that we all need a few people to help navigate this life.
