Elizabeth Puanani Cambra Benton is a wife, bonus mom, daughter, sister, niece, colleague, and friend.
She’s traveled extensively between moving frequently with her family and in her own career but, has always called Hawaii her true home as it was the one place that remained her constant since she was a child. That global travel led Elizabeth to experience many cultures, the people of these cultures, and learn many life lessons by looking at life through different lenses.
Elizabeth is a lifelong equestrian, former polo player, and lover of animals. Spending time with horses helps Elizabeth recharge her batteries and be a kinder human being.
My hope in writing and sharing this “heart project” is that readers will connect and benefit from these life lessons without having to experience an unexpected loss.
The morning of our wedding, as I was thinking about the vows I would share with David Alan Benton, I clearly and loudly heard “Drive From The Heart.” I saw a successful life (didn’t mean it would be easy) for us if we would lead from our hearts and quiet our brains. It felt truthful and grounded in that moment as we officially began our marriage surrounded by family and friends. Those words would pop up at times throughout the years and always brought me comfort.
