About me

Gender Female
Occupation Mom & Wife
Location Eagle Mountain, UT, United States
Introduction In the early days warriors in Hawai'i were known as Koa. Later the warriors gave their name to the Koa tree, whose hard wood provided many of their weapons. The Koa tree is also one of Hawaii's largest native trees. I believe we are all Koas in our own way in our everyday lives. There are Koas all around us. I am constantly inspired by women. I admire strong women. Whether they are women that I personally know, or fictional characters from films, TV shows or books, they have a impact on me. So I decided to change the focus of my blog from my ramblings to one about women that inspire me. I hope these women will inspire you too. I will give updates about me and my family on my other blog, The Galatro Family Chronicles.
