Happy Autumn/Fall Everyone. My sis @cdossey1 made this for me and I've been saving it for just this season. She took such care in the colors, materials, and sweet details. Thank you sis. May we give in to the call of the season...to slow, self-care, family time, and the fun wardrobe of it too. #breathingroomformysoul #sograteful #soulgoodness #everydaywithJesus 💛💜🍁🌬🍃🍂

A full cirlce story: You see that chain and ring there? It’s my gramps. My sweet friend @naninanibubu808 got it back to me Saturday. The story: i loaned it to a young man at one of our King’s Kids Camps in 1995. He became a little brother to me. A reminder to stay the course with God. The next year we both got engaged and then married to our loves. How cool right?! Turns out my sweet, loving, joyful church sister is his aunt. And that’s the story of my gramps’ ring n chain. Going to resize it for @dmtaira. Thank you Toni. So much joy n love for you. • •May we share our lives and be soul-fully blessed in blessing others. • •pc: @dmtaira •#everydaywithJesus #breathingroomformysoul #soulgoodness #sograteful

After all these weeks together. She left for her junior year in college. I can always count on hugs and 'I love yous'. So very proud of her. But man I'm gonna miss her big time. May we love well. I love you Mar 😘💞 • #collegebound #breathingroomformysoul #everydaywithJesus #ilovemyfamily #tairamoments2016 #sograteful #soulgoodness

#latergram from Grandparents day this past Saturday. Tri-generations pyramid. Warms my heart. Great grandson and granddaughter with Nana. They were laughing and giggling and hugging. Happy, happy sighs. Praying for you ~ love expressed, joy shared, and tiny moments captured...forever. #breathingroomformysoul #tairamoments2016 #sograteful #soulgooodness

So close to 9/11. Thanking the honor guards afterward, one soldier said it was his privilege to honor Dad. Has me thinking of my Gramps. I know they've finally met and are swapping stories. Makes my heart so full of joy. Today, I'm thankful for family and all of you here my friends. #youblessme #breathingroomformysoul #ilovemyfamily #tairamoments2016 (at Punchbowl-National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific)

Our nephew and son captured a few of Mom here. And boy was it a wonderful celebration of Dad's 90-year life. Never have I seen so many people at a service. So many stories of changed lives shared as they shook our hands. Never have I laughed so much at a service. What a legacy of joyful faith, compassionate service, and unbounded love. I pray we live out and pass on Dad's legacy from age to age. May we be such a bright light with few words possible. (at Oahu)

Happy #nationaldogday ~ Snuggle bug. Constant companion. Loyal protector. Reminds me to slow and stop. He's a lot of work and caution as a rehab rescue. Keeps me alert and mindful. And I love everything about BigDog. Alright, go hug your pups 🤓😃🐾💞 #breathingroomformysoul #sograteful (at Oahu)

It was a total dream! This girl is the nicest. The manager said it was cool to take pics. Ahhhh! Made my day so much prettier. Back on Thursday for sure. Thank you @anthro_honolulu for making my first visit incredible. Thank you @kimklassen for introducing me to their gorgeous world. #soblessed #anthropologie

A quick visit from @rhydem and @amandakduke and my mama heart is full. He's off to Japan with @humblesoul_official. She's flying out to see her FamBam soon. So excited for their adventures. Happy, happy sighs. #breathingroomformysoul #SoulGoodness #hesthedrummer #hawaiirepresent #humblesouljapantour2016 (at Oahu)

Praying joys, wonders, and love in your life today. Taken on the drive to see Mom. #youblessme #breathingroomformysoul #everydaywithJesus #ilovemyfamily (at Wahiawa, Hawaii)

Yesterday we said goodbye to our amazing Dad and Gramps. Wherever we went people stopped us to share a memory of their smiling high school counselor. His legacy of love, joy, and faith in God lives fully alive in each one of his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. I'm so blessed to have had so many opportunities of praying together and to tell him how special I thought he was...how much he was loved...and how thankful I was that he raised such a wonderful man of God to be my husband. I'm gonna miss you achingly, but giggle every time I remember Mom tucking you in so snuggly "Sachi burrito". #foreverinourhearts #bestfatherinlaw #everydaywithJesus (at Wahiawa, Hawaii)

Happy Aloha Friday all. My #latergram from Wednesday Artsy night with @amandakduke ~ Nourishing our inner selves to be optimal for ones around us. The days are long in our family's current season. May we take the vital time to be refueled to be that brighter light for ones who need us. #everdaywithJesus #soulgoodness #breathingroomformysoul pc: @dmtaira

FamBam time at Mom and Dad's. So overdue. Going to be many now. May we have many times together. Let's lose count. #breathingroomformysoul #sograteful #soulgoodness #everydaywithJesus #tairamoments2016 (at Oahu)

The simple moments waiting to be noticed. Driving home from PT. I turn my head and "wooooaaaah". Sets a good soul mood. May we notice and be soul nourished. #breathingroomformysoul #everydaywithJesus #sograteful #soulgoodness (at Oahu)

His momma told me how he loved this Smore's fondue. Glad I got to see it firsthand last night. Best birthday boy moment. #breathingroomformysoul #soulgoodness #ohthejoy (at Dave & Buster's)
