Dream Living

Life is so busy sometimes. We are always going here and there, trying to make it. Lifetimes are also brief. Steal away time just for yourself! Make sure you find balance in work and play. Your life is your dreams made real.

Wishing you many beautiful moments.

Aloha,

A New Day

I'm sorry to think that people I care about suffer through hardships. It isn't a pleasant experience to say the least.

The positive is that it doesnt last forever. It's merely a transition. Unfortunately, the time it takes depends on the individual.

I'm happy for those that begin this journey. Trust that it happens only when you are ready.

You will discover how strong you  really are and eventually emerge the beautiful spirit you are meant to be, to carry you through the next chapter on your journey.

Everyone goes through this. Having survived my own bump in the road, I can say it was hell trudging the depths of my low points.

In reflection I truly grew. My life got better! Opportunities started showing up and although its a few years later, the light just keeps getting brighter.

I am more grateful for the little joys of everyday moments and have learned to live in the present. Life is truly a gift!

I wish you an amazing New Year! Release all negative energy that hindered your life in anyway and may blessings overflow for you.

Dancing in the rain!

I Love Hula in Kailua was a bit rainy and had our halau relocated under a slightly dryer garage. It was a fabulously splashy and fun event!

We all laughed, smiled and danced! What an honor it is to learn and share a beautiful art.

I am beyond grateful for the love and support of my hula sisters. I am honored to be a part of such a special family.

Hope you did something you loved this weekend. Wishing you many blessings.

Love and Aloha,
Maile

Life with kids and a dog...

Spoiled kids...
Just because it was Boys Day, my kids expected gifts. It's my fault, I have been spoiling them with too many gifts for each little holiday and of course birthday's and Christmas.

They are older now and I thought I would be a little more practical. Slippers!

Ever since we adopted our dog Ginger, we have been losing slippers almost monthly. Grrrrr!!!

She will chew up anything. Yesterday I scolded her for taking the swim fin and biting into it. Ugh!

Besides the dog, my boys don't even want to wear slippers or shoes most of the time, and often track in dirt into our house. The dog already leaves muddy paw prints all over my floors, I don't need the boys adding to it.

This is why I no longer have carpet. My other house had white carpet, believe me, I have learned my lesson. Kids and dogs plus white carpet don't mix!

House slippers are a funny thought for our family, but I am desperate for cleaner floors. I gave everyone a pair and we will see how long it lasts.

Honestly if they just wear something on their feet and are better about wiping their dogs paws, they would mop the floor a lot less.

Someday they will learn. Until then, I'm just hoping the dog doesn't eat these new slippers.

The joys of family with a dog. Wishing you a beautiful week ahead.
Love Always,
Maile

Magical Moonlight

Watching the moon rise high above the Mokulua Islands while gliding along the water as day turned to night. There is definitely something special about the magic hour of twilight on the eve of a full moon. A beautiful night to make a wish on a waxing moon.

Wishing you a magical Thursday.
Love and Aloha,

Small Steps

Life is beautiful if you allow yourself to enjoy every moment. There is always a silver lining, sometimes it just takes time to realize it.

It was never about the destination, it's always been about the journey.

Make it memorable! Enjoy every step. It's not a race. In the end, we all will leave these fleeting lives and hope we left a legacy for future generations to flourish from our life's work.

Wishing you an amazing day!
Sending Love and Light Always.
Aloha,
Maile

Blessings

I woke up to beautiful light rain shower and gorgeous sunrise. I came downstairs to find my parents had dropped off a delicious hot breakfast for me and my family. A few moments later, while sipping my lemon water and saying goodmorning to my plants, I was surprised with a beautiful double rainbow.

I received a nice message in my dreams about rewards coming. Even all the icky insects that came to visit me- ugh another in my bathroom last night 0.0- they had a message. Rewards are here and manifesting in my life. I am grateful. I am feeling overwhelmingly blessed and it makes me feel like I need to rest right now.

I will need to recharge my energy for something amazing is unfolding. I am grateful and send as much good energy out to you as I can.

It is time to manifest rewards and let the universe bless you with everything you deserve for living each day with gratitude in your heart and sharing it with others. Sending love and light to you always.

Mahalo nui loa.

Kakaroaches Ewwwww!

I hate roaches! I know, I know, I live in a tropical destination and roaches seem to like living on these beautuful islands to. I just wish they would stay outside!

I woke up my entire house and possibly my neighbors as I screamed in the middle of the night when I crossed paths with one of these notorious bumbucha B52 kakaroaches in my bathroom.

I couldn't kill it on my own and insisted my husband wake up from his deep sleep, (seriously, why he didn't come when I was screaming in the first place :( ugh!) and kill it.

It had crossed the line when it entered my house and no longer could I allow it to continue its existence, it may tell its friends how it got in, and then there would be more.

I'm irrational when it comes to most insects in my living space, when they are outside, far outside, in a park, let's say, I have no problem with them being where they are. Just not where I live, or else. Sorry.

I'm so grateful that this one didn't remember to fly in my tiny bathroom with me in it, then I'm sure my screams would have awoken the entire island!

Ewwwwwwww!!!!!

Happy lazy Sunday and bug free wishes ;)

Aloha,
Maile
