  • 10K Paradise 3 Audiobook: Ch 50 🌞 A Bright, Inspired Energy

    Aloha, beloved supporters!

    At last, I have  edited chapters of Volume 3: RECKONING ready to share with you!

    When I was creating Volume 2, I was alternating between recording and editing, but since I moved from Hilo to Honolulu, I decided to do all of the recording up front, because I sensed that Honolulu would be louder. I was right. It's still doable, but recording an audiobook here would have been trickier. So I set a goal to finish recording all of volume 3 before I moved in August, and I reached it! WHEW!

    That meant that, once I arrived here in Honolulu, I had many hours of audio to edit down to about 6 hours (and I usually do multiple takes of each sentence) 

    Anyway, that's just a glimpse into my process. I really don't enjoy the editing that much. It feels very tedious, but I should have it wrapped up before Christmas, and then I'll do a shoutout on my newsletter about beta listeners! If you're up for listening to the whole thing for free before it comes out in exchange for giving me feedback, please let me know in the comments or wherever!

    I hope you enjoy Chapter 50: A Bright, Inspired Energy!

    love & light,

    The Description of Ten Thousand Hours in Paradise 3: RECKONING:
    From seeing the hidden fractals within the trees, to meditating in silence for 10 days, to falling in love and seeing that love crumble, the Big Island gives Andrew unparalleled opportunities to grow. Buoyed by a new project, Andrew starts off the new year with a fresh energy and is guided to the biweekly talks of a Hawaiian elder.
    The elder reminds him of truths that he’d forgotten, and he leads the group through the healing techniques of laulima and ho‘oponopono, giving Andrew a new energy to release the last shred of attachment to a person who simply doesn’t want to be with him.
    Now that he has created more space and clarity, his social circle expands, and Andrew meets someone who becomes one of the strongest catalysts for joy and growth in his life. But she is leaving the island in just six months.
    Andrew faces a forking path. All the while, lava is heading toward Pahoa, threatening to isolate all of Puna. The elder taught him that love prevails over all trauma, but will that be enough?
    Ten Thousand Hours in Paradise is a three-book true story about the consciousness shift that happens when you embrace Hawaii. Book three, Reckoning, takes flight with earthshaking changes, powerful healing, a new lava flow, and a hurricane, resulting in a reckoning that changes Andrew forever.
