We are what we think...34th sunrise

 "Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right."
                       Henry Ford
 
Are you of the thoughts that are mostly positive?  Or are you the type of person to think a negative first?  Me? Well I try with all my might to be positive.  Some days and situations are more of a challenge.  To be a positive force in a negative, fear-based consciousness can be very challenging...and lonely.  
 
Ha, but lonely is a positive thing here as it gives opportunity to build upon the preparation to receive.  Each and every morning ke akua, gives me a new day,  I am grateful and practice a communication of worth and knowing in asking for support to help heal, guide, let my loved ones know love pure and simply. It is also a time to accept that which will not change and prepare to receive.  I give thanks for the surprises and prayers answered before they arrive.  
 
May we all be blessed this day with rays of sunshine shooting through the clouds.
Mahalo ke akua ♥

Feb 2...33rd sunrise


Numile point has corn fields on it now.  I suspect they are growing GMO corn there.  Use to be could NOT grow there as it was a strip of conservation land.  What is going on with our precious island?  Newest land grabbers are the chemical companies that make poisons and who knows what all.  We must stand up and stop this insanity! On this island and all the other islands here in Hawaii. 
 
 This is only two blocks from my home.  This is a new field of corn right next to the Solar Farm that just went in about 6 months ago.  The other side is coffee crops ..commercial coffee sent all over the world to folks for consumption.  IF this is GMO with thedaily spraying of poisons on the corn then why is this necessary?  I thought these crops were genetically altered to resists pests?  What are they REALLY spraying here???

29th and 30th sunrise of 2013





Aloha kakahiaka!  Good morning!

I am soooooooooo grateful for all the healing thoughts and prayers that went out for my dear friend Lisette. Mahalo nui everyone ♥ She is doing remarkably well.  She returned home to Kauai yesterday afternoon.   We had a wonderful conversation last evening speaking of the many wonders on this earth and in this life.   At the incredible ability to heal when we focus and have pure intentions for healing to take place.  Eating as organic and raw as we can.  Drinking pure water.  Enjoying and loving life to the fullest each and every moment we are given on this planet.   Mahalo ke akua

Missed yesterday posting as my computer jammed up so here is the sunrise from January 29th...

27 suns

Morning sky announces the coming storm....the color was awesome and unearthly...glowing from the ash particles in the air.  Forewarning of something big on the horizon....

Today I am thankful for my dear dear friend, Lisette, and her miraculous rebound from emergency brain surgery!!  She was LifeFlighted over to Oahu Queens Hospital for the procedure. She has been taken out from ICU and is "stable". Even had a short conversation with her!  Hopefully will be returning home to Kauai soon.  She is so inspirational!  Blessed to have her in my life guiding my spirit with love!  

Prayers continue to flow for her and her hubby!

Sunrise 26 of 2013

To be out on this point of the island this morning was almost other worldly to me.  The movement of the sea was strong and erratic...waves coming from different directions.  Waves crashing into one another.  The sun did not appear as we still have thick thick VOG coming over from big island Hawaii...and Mauna Kea.    But the color of the sea and clouds was stunning..mesmerizing and uplifting.


Today, if my mother still lived on this side of being, she would be  83 years old.  Happy Birthday Mom..I miss you!  I sang my prayers for you this morning and the birds answered ♥ Then an owl flew along the edge of the bay♥  Mahalo ke akua!

Voggy Sunrise





A voggy sunrise on th is 25th day of 2013.  Vog arrives from the volcano erupting on the big island of Hawaii.  It makes my eyes weep and my lungs struggle for breath.  Vog shrouds much with a thick, thick haze.  The sun is barely visible and the air is so still.  IT feels other worldly to me standing on the pali at the oceans edge.

Awaken to a faint call for HELP...


Aloha kakahiaka!
This morning I am so thankful that I sleep lightly.
 
At 3:30 am I was awakened with a faint call for HELP.  At first took me a second to realize that the call was real and not in my dream.  I jumped outa bed and ran to the back door, stepping on my kitty, Kookie's paws as he ran beside me trying to assist.  I went to his back bedroom window and asked him did he need me to call 911.  He said his front door was unlocked and I ran around and went in.  He was flat on his back and not looking well.  He was in a whole lot of pain.  I told him not to move that the Fire and Ambulance is on it's way.  He asked me to call his sister.  She lives two doors down. Within minutes the Emergency crew were there.  They came in quietly..no sirens just lights going.  Considerate to not wake up others.

So scary to live alone and have a fall.  There is an emergency alarm but it is in the bathroom, side of the commode.  Most falls happen when someone tries to get out from bed to relieve themselves in the middle of the night.  This is exactly what happen to my neighbor, John.  They put him on a back board and gurney, then took him to the hospital.   I hope and pray that he will be alright.

Upon my return from my morning walk at the beach the Fire Dept was at my complex again.  John had been released from the hospital, and with help from his sister, they were  making it back to his apartment and fell again.  He is very ill with the flu and pneumonia and now he suffered a 2nd fall which busted up his head and knees.  Hope the hospital keeps him this time. Something to do with Medicare his sister said.  Jeeze why oh why do we not have health care for  EVERYONE in this country??  I don't get it???

21st sunrise of 2013

Aloha kakahiakia!!  Good morning from Hanapepe Bay on Kaua'i!!
This morning I am thankful for a calmer ocean on this side of the island.  It has been some real high surf and pounding waves. So far we have lost two visitors that did NOT heed the warnings and were walking out on coastal rocks and got knocked with a wave and thrashed to death in the mighty kai.  Please when you come visit here, anytime of the year..use EXTREME caution when entering our ocean or walking along her shorelines.  malama pono~

Computer Crash..Oops...

1.19.13 sunrise

1.20.13 sunrise

I spent the pass two days fixing my computer from a CRASH.  I am feeling pretty good as I managed to fix the entire computer by myself.  I couldn't restore to what I had but manage to restore to factory settings and hardware.

Let this be a lesson to me and perhaps others.  I had not change my "update" settings after my last computer fix by a professional.  He didn't set me up for auto updates..so then i had a bunch like 107 updates.  So I tried to update and something went terribly wrong.  CRASH!!

So then I just kept at it and tried and tried.  Finally about an hour ago I got it all connected and restored and here I am.   I have to say that I just became fearless in diving into the computer and following commands and saying a bunch of prayers *:D  It would jam up and I would shut it down and then let it and me rest and then get back to it.  Finally this morning I broke through and got to be able to "restore"...what a relief.  

I am one who is totally dependent on my computer desktop.  I do NOT have a TV so all my movies of tv programs I watch on my desktop.  All my bill paying is now done online and most of my communications is also done with the computer.  I also have four websites to maintain and communicate with as well as this blog.

A question for my lady friends???  Have you ever tried to fix your own computer when things jammed up and you could not get on line or get anything to respond with your computer?  Were you successful?  Well I can tell you that it saved me a couple  hundred dollars at least!!  And this has a wonderful feeling to it!

ALOHA FRIDAY, 18th Sunrise

 "Any change, even a change for the better,
 is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts."      
    Arnold Bennett
Aloha kakahiaka!
Last night I attended one of THE most important and Herstorical events on this island of Kaua'i.  Dr. Vandana Shiva was part of our GMO Free Kauai  panel and ceremony from the Kanuikapono Charter School, joined by Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of the Center for Food Safety in Washington, D.C., and Walter Ritte, a local leader and educator from Moloka‘i.  Makana  gave us his truthful poetry and songs setting the stage for Raising Awareness, Invisioning Change!

There was so much information shared.  Much of it shocking and  much of it disheartening.   To come to the realization that the state I live in, is THE LARGEST grower and distributor of GMO seed that is distributed throughout the USA and her territories, sickened my heart..my total being!

Kaua'i is being poisoned...her land, her water, her  ocean, her air and EVERY living thing..POISONED!  We are  under attack with just about a 24 SEVEN agenda of spraying of pesticides upon the growing GMO crops that command over 12,000 acres of our island.

GMO crops have been here under the guise of corn growing companies like DuPont, Dow Chemical, Monsanto and Sygenta.  These are chemical companies that purpose is to create chemicals of destruction...POISON!   We must not only think about it but then venture about Google and edudcate ourselves to this future we are in the midst of...and bring a END to the WAR and assault upon every living thing on this planet with pesticides and altered genetics of our food and seeds!
