Mokulua Sunrise

I am still amazed at how unique every sunrise truly is. I love waking up to see it. Wherever you are, I hope the sun is shining its glorious rays upon you.

Aloha,

International Paddling

It's amazing how similar we all really are. It doesn't matter where you are from or what language you speak. Love brings everyone together.

January 8th, 2014, Lanikai Canoe Club's Sunrise paddling crew was honored to welcome a few paddler's from Ohana Hoe. They usually paddle in Japan and explained how similar there beach in Japan was like Hawaii.

Pacific Ocean neighbor's we all stumbled through our language barriers and smiled and laughed for a fun hour together.

The past few weeks we shared our canoes with a few other friends, Paul from Canada and Peter from Australia. It's wonderful to make friends from all over the world, and truly makes our planet feel smaller when you share a common experience that you both love.

Sending Aloha around the world. Wishing you many wonderful friends on your journey.

Aloha Nui Loa,

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,

Peace

Peace to me is living my power in every moment by simply being present.

When I am with someone, it means, putting down the phone and enjoying the magic of our time together.

There is such a beautiful synergy when you make a connection with others, you can't do that in a phone call, or a text and definitely not in an email. There is nothing more special than breathing in a moment of time with a wonderful friend.

Spend your life's moments with people that fill you with joy and make you smile. They have the power to brighten your day and heal your spirit. They eliminate stress and you truly are blessed with an overwhelming sense of peace.

There is peace in trust, in friendship, and love.

Life is a journey, travel with friends :-)

Love and Aloha,

Long Summer Days

Today, was hot! I honestly have been enjoying these sunny  summer days as I've spent almost every day of it, outside!

It's a funny thought, thinking back to my little kid days, and my mom calling out to the neighborhood to come home...now my kids text me, "mom, when are you coming home?" I wish I could force them outdoors with me, but their generation has their own kind of  fun, that I don't seem to  understand.

I do love our family time when we all spend the day splashing in the pool. And we always eat dinner together around the dining table as a family. That is something I know my kids will remember when they get older, and hopefully carry on that tradition.

Happy Week ahead!
Love and Aloha,
Maile

Wonderful Wednesday

I love Tuesdays, especially hula nights. I'm exhausted but still want to stay up late and dance all the songs playing in my head.

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday!

Father's Day Adventure

It was a beautiful day for a Sunday drive, all the way out to Nanakulibeach Park.
It was my first time swimming at this beach. A born and raised Kailua girl, I rarely venture farther than the mile to my favorite Kailua Bay.

Nanakuli beach had crystal clear water and a kid friendly surf swell that washed the kids back and forth on the sandy shore. They loved it and it looked so fun, I had to try it to. It really was fun and the water was so cool on a very hot summer day, I didn't want to get out. The need to reapply sunscreen, got me moving and back under a shady tent for most of the day.

I think my boys would have loved it today, so I'm planning on going back out there again.

A fun day of canoe racing at the Father's Day regatta, and so happy to spend a lovely day with my teammates at our awesome potluck BBQ.

A few hours later, I was back home chilling in the pool with my boys and getting things ready for a delicious Father's Day BBQ with my ohana.

Another truly fabulous weekend with a collection of memories all caught on camera. Captured moments to last a lifetime :) I am loving this life and my amazing family and friends to share it with.

Wishing you a great week ahead.

Love always,
Maile

Volunteer

Blessings overflow when you live your life to serve others. A volunteer day to help individuals with special needs enjoy an amazing day on the ocean, their smiles were more a gift for me than the joy they were experiencing.

I am so grateful for this amazing life!

Life is an adventure! Make yours memorable!
Love always,

The last day of the week! Time to celebrate! Well, as much as I can. I seem busier than ever, and with a packed schedule, I want to enjoy every family and friend moment I can. 

Life can be crazy if you let it. As long as you can be present in the moments, its time well spent. Do what you love and live the day!

Bloom

It never fails, surprises always show up in multiples. It seems kind of like a landslide when you really think about it, so many wonderful events just keep adding up.

Your life is in Bloom! I can feel it and can see signs of it everywhere I look. I don't believe in coincidence, but that everything happens for a reason. 

You are showered with many blessings, remind yourself of all the good things and see how blessed you truly are. 

Smile for your week!

A day in my life:

Family Breakfast 

Shopping, Errands, and a workout bike ride, with so much walking. I told my son, it's just extra cardio.

Afternoon, we had a Boat operating lesson with my dad. 

Then we went for a swim. 

Played with the dog.

Enjoyed my zen moments watering my plants and squeezed in some hula practice.

And finally Family Dinner!

I love days like this. Today was filled with unexpected adventures. It doesn't have to be over the top, just enjoying one happy moment to the next. I hope you have a happy memorable weekend.

Love and Aloha,

Maile
