After the end of my marriage, I couldn’t afford to stay in the Tahoe area.
In my early 40s, I was right back where I had started: living with my mother again in our family home on the Mount Rose highway, nearI was sifting through the legalities of dissolving my seven-year marriage. My ex had gotten the house , and I was desperately searching the area for somewhere affordable for my now-single income. I had to make my own way entirely, a bitter pill to swallow after discovering the love of my life had been cheating on me through most of our marriage.
Being at home again with my mother — seeing my life come full circle — added to my agony. My doctor diagnosed me with severe depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. A path through the brain fog induced by the experience of divorce felt nearly impossible. I could barely feed myself, much less forge a whole new existence for me and my four-legged child.for the summer, I jumped at the chance. All of a sudden, the world was my oyster. Perhaps I could plan a new life while in paradise.
Once I came out of my stupor, I realized I had the opportunity of a lifetime. I had traded in mountains and pine trees for waves and palm trees. I was treading on fresh ground every day, mentally and emotionally. The welcoming arms of the land enveloped me, and hiking where volcanoes regularly birth new earth felt like a parallel to my own life. Beaches were another sanctuary. I’d snorkel with flamboyant fish, and seeing them interact inspired a tranquility that I hardly recognized.
I’ve always felt that the spirit of aloha was a part of me, and even before the divorce, I had considered returning permanently to the archipelago at some point. My entire life, I had reveled in the islands’ vibrant hues, healing salt waters and kind people. Except when my father tossed me into the ocean to teach me how to swim — but it worked.
