Champuru's photostream
|
A 30-something Christian geek girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 16 years. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from her hometown, a slave to her mortgage payment, but seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest.
"Champuru" is an Okinawan stir fry dish, literally meaning a "mixture." In a figurative sense, it's similar to what locals would call "chop suey." A whole bunch of stuff, tossed in, mixed up to create a unique flavor. She selected this pseudonym years ago, mainly to relate to her Okinawan culture, but also felt that it was an appropriate way to describe her appreciation of many different cultures and interests.

"Champuru's photostream is so refreshing! She's one who isn't afraid to "tell it like it is", but never in a way demeaning to anyone. Her openess and honesty reflect in her images here. One of the most REAL people you're likely to meet...ever.
Check out her blog, too, at www.champuru.net/.... Like her photostream, the wit and openess in Champuru's blog are very inspiring. I think you'll find that to be the case, too."17th April, 2006
