Our company blog Hawaii Vacation Gifts by Double Brush celebrates its one year blogaversary today!! I find it hard to believe that I have been blogging for a whole year. At the risk of sounding like a cliche, I can honestly say that blogging has changed my life!
Blogging has enabled me to share information I find useful or interesting, or strange, and I also get to write about things that I like and care about. However, the most precious outcome of blogging for me has been the friendships that I have formed with other bloggers--especially Sheila at Go Visit Hawaii and Evelyn at Homespun Honolulu. They both have been supportive, caring, and the most genuinely nice people I know.
Browsing over my past posts for the year, I came up with my favorite top 5 blog posts--as of today;)
1. How Double Brush Saved Hundreds of Trees
Saving our Hawaiian rainforest and not supporting clear cutting is something that I care deeply about.
2. What's the Big Deal with Interracial Marriage and Dating?
Using our families as an example, I show what true multiculturalism love means.
3. Wild Pigs on the Big Island Hawaii
We live in a rural area of the Big Island and wild pigs are a part of the environment here.
4. Maile Lei--The Most Rare and Special Hawaiian Lei
This is my favorite leis because of its intoxicating scent. The next goal is to plant some on our property.
5. The Rainiest City in the US is Hilo Hawaii
People find it hard to believe the east side of the Big Island gets 100-200 inches of rainfall annually.
Mahalo to all of my readers, subscribers, and commenters. Thank you for your continued support, I am pretty sure I would stop blogging if no one read my blog.
Please share with myself and everyone else reading, "What is your favorite Double Brush blog post?"

Would you mind Madame Pele for a neighbor in Hawaii?
Happy Blogaversary!!
I always look forward to your posts. About a favorite post here...hmmm....there have been lots of good ones! I think I especially enjoyed the one about living next to Madame Pele and Steve bringing you outside to see the red glow. I also enjoyed the post on the eclipse.

Happy Blogaversary! It's not a cliche, honest! :) Seriously, I agree with you -- blogging does change your life; it provides you with an unexpected education too! We also get to add new words to the dictionary. Let's see... blogaversary...
It's so funny, I always think of you and Sheila as being the most supportive. I guess we're all on the same "channel" or something?
If I had to choose a favorite... I like the papaya articles. I'm just weird. I like the recipes and the health information -- anything that healthy that tastes that good has GOT to be a good story!
