DONT call it a dream ..... call it a plan ..

 DON'T call it a dream ... call it a plan .. 

Its been quite a while since someone has asked me what I want to do when I grow up... 

and I believe there are times in our lives... where something is RIGHT THERE and we dont see it ... 

People ask us when we're young ... "What do you want to be when you grow up?"   Frankly, I honestly didn't even have the slightest idea at all.  Some people experience things early in their lives, or are truly inspired by an event or experience .. or just have a "calling" or a nagging that may have started at birth or in their early years.  But, then there are people kinda like me ... that may have gotten caught up in life, trying to do the "normal" things... school, college, work, marriage, family.. and then later, even at my age finally realize what they have been called to do in this life.  Despite a very basic upbringing,  I have been very blessed to experience a very beautiful life.. with a great Husband and marriage, a beautiful Daughter and have been quite privileged life of travel and wonderful experiences.  Through all of this ...I never had a real career or even thought of one ... just worked to pay bills and contribute.   I feel like Ive finally realized what God has called me to do.  This world has changed so much in these 63 years ... and we dont take the time to realize what we as humans are doing to our world and ourselves just through our basic everyday lives.  Our basic routines of cleaning, bathing, maintaining ourselves and our households with products and chemicals that basically are slowly destroying us... kinda from the inside out.  Even medicines, medical treatments and procedures seem to only look at the symptoms and never get even close to the root of the issue.  Thus, with these experiences, they only keep us enslaved to constantly paying and contributing to these professions that just keep us coming back for more appointments instead of actually repairing or healing or even having the slightest clue ... what could be wrong.   Ive seen many folks constantly heading to appointments .. renewing medications... and treatments as it actually gives them something to do ..  but don't seem to be getting healed.  Not all ... but it seems most.  I saw it in my own parents... where doctors visits were just part of their everyday living.  This is a very sad state of affairs.  I have been extremely blessed not to have had to be in the group of having to visit doctors monthly like alot my age .. but in the last six months had to deal with a torn rotator cuff and a couple of pinched nerves.  I unfortunately had to spend a few days in the hospital for dehydration and these issues ... as I honestly and am ashamed to admit, but didnt realize these issues were going on with my own body.  Recently having to go through all of that ... tests upon tests ...  only to wait for even more appointments ... and honestly no one seems to have any answers at all  of any kind and am still dealing with numbness.... I am happy to report that doing my research, reading and praying... I have been returned to a natural and healthy regime that I feel is serving me very well.  I know and feel in my heart that getting back to natural, clean and healthy ... is what people ... need to realize will serve them best.  So if you havppen to be going through some difficult issues in different ways in your life... I believe if you get back to clean and natural you wont regret it ... and in fact it really may   surprise you in ways you couldn't imagine ...   Let me know what you think??? Drop me a comment or message... looking forward to it ...

Aloha & A Hui Hou!!!

So you want to be a writer...... ???

So you want to be a Christian writer???  Yes... I do ... but how does that actually work ??? How do you actually become a Christian writer??????  Is there a "key" a rule book, guidelines, something to actually go by??? Its been a bit since I have written/blogged anything in fact,  I have been blogging on and off for the last 5-7 years but unfortunately not consistently.  CONSISTENCE is a key to many things throughout life.  Although, it sounds like it should be easy... it IS NOT ... especially for someone who has dabbled in so many different and creative things throughout life.  Consistency .. like I mentioned is the "key" to many things in life.  Whether it be fitness, health, creativity..  just about anything you can think of ... BUT also it is something you can "come back to"  throughout ones life... just dont plan on it being successful in the world's eyes.  The main thing I enjoy is the creativity .... the uniqueness of things .. the fact that its your own thoughts being recorded and remembered ... even if it is only remembered by your own self.  I truly believe that writing is just as creative as drawing, painting and most all of the creative avenues in this life... and I am enjoying alot of them ... I give all my gratitude and thanks to the Lord for giving me these creative avenues to express myself..  During this time in my life .... just moving to a new city with new surroundings and trying to find a new "niche" to earn a decent income ... I have been experience some not so exciting hurdles...that I know in my heart the Good Lord is remedying as we speak.  So along with exploring new reads, studies... and emersing myself in God's Word and deep prayer.  

Aloha & A Hui Hou ... 

Like I Say … It’s Just what I think …

 We need to completely TRUST IN THE LORD ALWAYS … through everything 

It’s Just What I think … ALWAYS 

Don't cut me off... !!!

Ive always wanted to be a writer ... but honestly, really didnt think anyone really wanted to listen or read what what I wanted to say or write .. 

I discovered blogging a while back but haven't really kept up with things... probably and mostly because of past remembrances of what I was always told growing up.  But, I have been RE - INSPIRED.. and would love to start gaining an audience.  Blogging I think closely reminds me of "Carrie" on Sex in the City ... writing her thoughts ... ideas and creative insights .... I really enjoy being creative, whether its with pencils, paints, sewing, designing AND writing ... 

I know it was always drilled into me as a child growing up in the 70's .. that me, young creative young woman should just "learn how to type" ... I LITERALLY HATED THAT STATEMENT ... and all that it meant ... THEN and to this day ... I BELIEVE parents, above ANYONE in a child's family should ... BE COMPLETELY POSITIVE and totally encourage that child's interests, goals and dreams.  Especially during the formative years.  I mean I'm glad I learned how to type .. but to literally "cut off" creativity ... I believe is stifling and  COMPLETELY WRONG .. 

"Its Just What I Think ..."

Everything happens for a reason ...

Each day brings new adventure .. new ideas... new opportunities ... new ways to change our lives ..

We MUST remain POSITIVE .. although its quite difficult at times and through certain circumstances .. there is truly a POSITIVE no matter how NEGATIVE .. things seem to be at that moment ...  I did and it was bought to my attention ... just recently .. not even a week ago.  I was having a really "down" day .. even after always preaching positivity to everyone I meet .. somehow ..its much more difficult when its YOUR LIFE.  Just a couple of days ago a stranger walked in my store .. and as always I started to find out about them .. their visit ... their background.. where they are from ... and what they do for a living etc.  I quickly found out I was in a conversation with a known motivational speaker .. with a positive group ... connected with The Secret .. and its wonderful members .. I found out about The Secret several years ago ... It is a book and a movie .. and very interesting .. focusing on the POSITIVE .. focusing on abundance ..and that there is enough for everyone .. as there is enough for everyone .. We spoke and I quickly realized like myself .. he has a personal relationship with God and he prayed with me .. He gifted me a renewal that day... he changed and renewed my mood, attitude and mental direction.  It was really something I needed at that moment ... and that day ... I am truly focusing on the positive... through this new adventure ... God does works in mysterious ways ..We all have a special purpose in this life.. God makes NO MISTAKES .... ☺️

What you give out ... you get back in return ..

In life ... its important  ... to remember at all times ... What you give out .... you get back in return .. Soooo with that being said ... I have learned this very thing through a ridiculously negative childhood..... Unfortunately .. in this life .. we tend to dwell and almost seem to "look for the negative" in things. It's a shame ... but true ... 
Did you ever notice .. that when someone is injured or has a cast on ... that we're more apt to ask HOW the person was injured than how they are doing ... We tend to look at a gory detail rather than the REAL issue of how to help ... the person. We are alllll guilty of this .... We alllll can get caught up in the "negative" of life... its very easy to do ... BUT we can also make it turn into the POSITIVE !!!  I tried teaching this to my own mother .... but sorry to say some people just don't want to change enough .. it never worked with her ... NEGATIVITY ... can literally kill you ... I watched it happen right in front of my eyes ... 

Ive learned to take each negative event, statement, event, situation, even word or glimmer of a thought ... and find something POSITIVE as I know that there always is ...

So the next time one of those creepy negativities show up .... SQUASH IT ... 

CHOOSE THE 

POWER OF POSITIVITY ...  

A Hui Hou!!!

"Flying the friendly skies .... "

Okay soooo ...I'm flying the friendly skies ... as they say ... Very interesting ... For all the years we've traveled ... I honestly can't remember when was the last time I've flown by myself ...  find it very interesting to see lots of people getting on and off planes... business trips, visiting airports all over the country as just a part of their normal work week... From the Big Island to the Big Apple... I know it sounds weird, especially in this day and age... but seriously, this IS a bit of an adventure for me ... in lots of ways.. Im excited and scared all at the same time.. but its ALL GOOD... Im ready for some rest, fun and relaxation ... Times Square, Central Park, Michael and Kelly, The Rocketttes, Broadway... The Statue of Liberty and Ground Zero ....  IYou know with the way the world is ... today .. Its DEFINITELY thought provoking to say the least... I'm a bit anxious to see Ground Zero in person... as it reflects soo much our thoughts and prayers for our Country.. Our  Country is in great need of POSITIVENESS... with terrorism and and upcoming election ... sometimes, I know some people differ, but for the most part... all we really can do is pray... 

I am really excited and very thankful ... for being able to go on this trip and to see a "real" city... especially NYC!!!  THIS CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS ...!!! LOL... I better get some sleep before arriving ... so I can write more about my adventures... and not sleep through these exciting days ahead..  

Aloha & A Hui Hou!!!
