Unexpected Rescue Mission

Lanikai Canoe Club Sunrise Paddling crews came to the aid of a stranded oc-1 paddler this morning.

Our fleet of four canoes, picked up Mariya Gold, after she got separated from the damaged oc-1, she was paddling in surf near the Mokulua islands.

The ocean is always so beautiful at Lanikai and even seasoned paddlers can be surprised by the power of the waves and currents.

She hopped into one of the open seats in our small armada and another boat hauled the damaged oc-1 back to the beach.

This isn't the first time I have participated in a rescue mission. On a few evening practices our teams have towed back some stranded kayakers, and various swimmers back to the beach.

Mahalo to the entire paddling community, we always help out when we can.

Wishing everyone a beautiful week!

Almost Addicted

My boys have both started their adventures in outrigger canoe paddling. I'm certain I'm more excited than they are. 

The moment my older son got out of the canoe after his first practice, the grin that spread across his face, said it all. "This is awesome! My mom was right, I'm so happy she insisted I give paddling a try. She is the best mom in the whole world!" Okay, maybe he wasn't thinking all those thoughts, but a mom can dream. ;-)

I am thrilled that they actually like it. The first time I got into a canoe, it truly took me by surprise at how much fun it was. Of course, this is a team activity and good attitudes and a shared love of a wonderful sport you can do on the water together, makes a difference. Actually that is true in anything. 

Always look to the positive. It wastes your time to dwell on negative thoughts. Help others and live a life of compassion. That is the heart of any team player. 

If you wish for everyone to be better than you, and you help them achieve their best effort, your team does even better, and ultimately you benefit also. It's not about being better than anyone else, but about being the best you! 

There is no "I" in team! We all know this, yet, people create drama out of jealousy or poor thoughts. Give yourself and everyone else peace. And just help everyone! That does not mean telling anyone what to do, but showing them how. You create a giving legacy of paying it forward each time you share your knowledge and your gifts with others.

Hawaii Legacy Builder's, is founded on helping others achieve success by being a network of knowledgable and gifted individuals in many diverse fields of expertise. We help you find solutions and connect you to other people and networks, ultimately creating beneficial relationships with greater networks.

Love and Aloha,

Easter Fun

The Easter Egg hunters:

At age one, wants to taste everything. 

At age two, somewhat interested in the egg collecting game. 

At age three, prefer to chase the bugs and lizards in the grass instead of picking up eggs. 

At age four, egg hunting master. 

At age six through eleven, competitive egg hunting master, watch out all other kids! 

At age twelve, bored and too old. 

At age 16, re-invent the egg hunting game and increase difficulty level and make it cool again. Maybe. Well I did. 

Hope your Easter weekend was lovely! 

Our best wishes, from our family to yours!

Love and Aloha,

Maile

Stories

With each life lesson you grow and become the person you are meant to be. This life is short, and I try to share every challenge this life has thrown at me, with my children, well actually anyone really.

Stories of your life can help others so they don't have to repeat the same lesson. I wouldn't wish my struggles on anyone, and if I can share what I've learned from those lessons to get to where I am today with others, especially my children and nephews, I will save them from those struggles and hopefully they will avoid them entirely or remember the solution to get themselves out of it quickly.

I wish everyone a life of success. Share your stories, so the next generations don't have to repeat every mistake. Arm them and each other with a library of Solutions!

Unconditional love

I have had many dogs in my lifetime. They have been my best friends that I have shared any secret, any wish, any problem with and they are there to listen without judgement.

I have learned a lot from my dogs to be that kind of friend to those I care about. I don't judge, but I am a great listener. If you ask me, I would do my best to reflect any light on your life that you could see past any situation and look for a new solution.

Actually that is how my wonderful business partner, Cindy, and I created Hawaii Legacy Solutions. With our vast network of friends and business contacts, we have helped guide others to solutions, sharing either products, services, or network contacts to help our fellow Hawaii businesses succeed in a global marketplace or just here in our islands.

We built our friendships with love and trust and will continue to help others be bright lights in their own life, organization, or business.

Love is truly the most powerful energy force in the universe. Love for any person, country, or cause will move individuals to do great things.

We will always be here to listen, and never judge.

Me ke aloha pumehana,
Maile
And all of us at Hawaii Legacy Solutions and Hawaii Legacy Builders
and Ginger to ;)

I lost 50lbs!!!

I've made it! I lost 50lbs. I have never been so happy to visit my bathroom scale and so often. Now it's a friendly hello and no longer nervous, hold my breath, and oh no what is it going to be today, fingers crossed that one piece of sweet potato pie didn't ruin all my hard work.

How did I do it? What's the easy simple answer that everyone wants to know?

The truth is it started with truly forgiving myself for treating my body so badly all these years. And only then was I able to start my journey to healing my body and my relationship with my self  image. I really never did like my picture being taken. I will always happily hide in the back, out of site and maybe you can catch a glimpse of just my smile. But more recently I have had to take more more photos and I'm not afraid any more. I actually can appreciate all my old pictures now and send love to the poor shell of a woman I was. She had problems, she was depressed, she was going thru a lot. And now, I'm so proud to be me. And love all that I've accomplished and look forward to every new day I get to accomplish something else. 

I won't say, that your miracle of overnight weight loss happens at the moment you finally accept your life and yourself, with all your glorious unique flaws, and the perfect parts that aren't so bad and make everything else disappear. But something wonderful does start to happen. You want to treat yourself better. If you are like me, always trying to put everyone else first and attend to their needs and wanting the best for them. At the end of the day, the week, the month, the year, you look back and you realize you did nothing for yourself. And who really was taking care of you? And if anyone tried did you even let them? 

This may have been my toughest struggle. Asking for help. Accepting that I really couldn't do it alone. It is still one of my life lessons and its finally sinking in that my life can be of even more value if it share it, and I ask for help. Then I have the support to reach my personal goals and have the ability to help others reach theirs. My life is so much more fulfilling now, with wonderful individuals that I care so very much about and they care about me. I may still struggle when help is given, but I'm grateful for the loving friends and family that will insist on me accepting their support, no matter how much I try not to take anything. I try to just accept their generosity and always say Mahalo, Thank you, I'm so very grateful. 

My life is changed in so many ways. Mahalo for all your love and support that make me better every day. I look forward to being here for you. Don't be afraid to ever contact me. My life is one of service, if I can help, I will. Sending love and gratitude to everyone. 

Mahalo,

Maile
