Six year old Given and his family set out on a quest to follow the legend of the Big Fish. For years his father told him the tale as it was passed down from all the fathers before him.
Given and his family leave their little island of palm trees to follow the Big Fish’s trail across the seas. They meet beekeepers and snake dancers, sleep on sandy beaches and play on ice rocks. Given watches and learns for he knows he too would one day have to search for his own Big Fish.
This is a story of a unique family legacy come full circle. A story of finding home wherever you may be. Inspired by the feature film documentary called Given, this is based on the true and wild journey of surfers Aamion and Daize Goodwin as they take their family to fulfill a calling handed down through generations to find freedom in surrender.

Just made a smoothie this morning that was delicious. Helpful for counting my macros at the time I ordered at the store, too. Although presentation was so much better by you all!

These are wonderful jars that can be used for many different things!

During my time in Kauai, I stumbled upon these charming little jars. I couldn’t resist getting one for myself, and once I returned home from my vacation, I found that I loved it even more than I expected. I felt a strong urge to share this joy with my friends, so I decided to order a few more as gifts. I was truly touched when everyone reacted so positively—they loved the jars just as much as I did! Beyond serving as a gentle reminder to slow down and appreciate life, they’re incredibly practical for storing small treasures. For example, I’ve been using mine to hold the beautiful shells I collected during my recent trip to Kauai. It brings back such wonderful memories!
Mahalo Wishing Well and SYD website for the memorable experience I have everytime I come back to Kauai 🙏
