Liza Pierce (that’s me) is the blogger behind A Maui Blog I am what they call a “Kama’aina. I have been living on Maui since 1994 and consider Maui as my “homeâ€. I am a 40 something mom who likes exploring Maui with my family. My life is full and exciting here on the island of Maui, Hawaii.
I started blogging in 2006 at Liza’s Eyeview. I blogged about my family life and parenting. I also blogged as a ministry, helping friends under crisis connect with their family and friends. I found that blogging is an easy way to get the needed support. It was fulfilling to be able to use blogging to help others.
My interest grew in social media grew as I experience lot of wonderful benefits of blogging both serious and fun. I thought blogging is like “talking story online”! (’cause you know, here in Hawaii, we love to talk story) and I enjoyed it immensely. From blogging at Liza’s Eyeview I started another blog called A Maui Blog and my participation in social media grew to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Flckr and Posterous.
I do not have a journalism degree. I majored in Psychology. English is my second language. If you are looking for an eloquent writer, who is always grammatically correct and a wiz in spelling, you are in the wrong blog. But if you want to read the ramblings of a Kama’aina (and local kine mom) talking story online, you’re on the right blog. To Maui visitors checking out this blog, it’s good to get the inside scoop.
