_Aloha_.
I am Rox. Roxanne. Miss Darling. Roxy. Co-caregiver to Lexi, one of the luckieset dogs around. A person happily living my dream life come true in Hawaiʻi.
And still facing the usual challenges of keeping clients happy, sorting out the occasional temper burst with my guy (mine or his), doing what it takes to get those bills paid — you know the sort of things that are just part of a normal life.
But most every day that I am here in Hawaii, I go to the beach to walk and swim with our dog Lexi, and Secret Cameraman comes along so we can share it with you. (Other days I am on the road or we do something special here in Hawaii!)

_Online video may still in its infancy, but there is already a dizzying amount to watch. The quality is often questionable – but there are some good places to dip a toe into the online video ocean. One of the most successful video blogs is Beach Walks with Rox, made by Hawaii resident Roxanne Darling’s, who delivers soothing and spiritual thoughts about life while walking her dog Lexi._
