Aloha from Hawaii

I wish I could call them, but I can’t.
I wish I could hug them, but I can’t.
I wish I could kiss them, but I can’t.

I can still say I love them
I still hold them in my heart.
I still have fond memories of them
I still cry when I think of them.

I wish they were still here.
I may not have been the perfect daughter/granddaughter but I did my best.

I know two damn thing for sure, I have four guardian angels watching over me and somehow I know they are all proud of me.

Especially because I have two new goals to accomplish and watch me mommy daddy Kalai Kula Buddy grandpa and grandma I will do it.

Life Lessons

Life loves fucking with me for some odd reason.
Perhaps this is The Lord’s way of making sure I don’t go soft.
I don’t understand why or I don’t think I ever will?

I no longer question anything anymore if I see an obstacle in my way I will face it head on and crushed it

The past me would roll over and play dead and run away.
The present me is bring it on and face it head on and not run away

You might see me struggling
You may see me fall
But you will always see me get back up
And continue to fight.

I struggle with many things
Some of which no longer exist
Some of which I am still healing from but I no longer run from my problems I face them.

I’m absolutely sure Mama Lioness would proud of how I handle myself on a daily basis or at least try to.

Life is journey
With lessons seen and unseen
We all have our battles and hardships
But it’s how you handle yourself.

Aloha from Hawaii

I Will Not Bow

I am not broken

I am stronger than you can imagine

I am not giving up

I do not know the meaning of the word

I am no failure

I have come too far to give up

I am my light

Now you can watch me shine

Because life is about taking risk

Moreover, the risk is what it is all about.

I am not alone

If you do not know what this means

Then I pity you

Aloha from Hawaii

I’m still standing
Been through many things
But I’m still here kicking it
With my wolf pack

Ha ha…
You gave it your best shot
To bring me down
But look I’m still standing
With my wolf pack cheering me on

That’s right you didn’t break me
So why bother trying
I know who I am
And my wolf pack loves me for who I am
And that’s what matters most to me

‘Cause I’m still standing
With a smile

Aloha from Hawaii

Rest in Love , Buddy, my little superhero
February 7,2005-December 3,2022

My constant companion is there through my life storms and whenever I need someone to talk to. Fur like brown sugar speckled with snow. Soft doe-like eyes.
My constant companion.
Plump like a polish hot dog.
You should see him try to roll over
The funniest thing ever.
My constant companion
Although he is small
I swear he takes up half of the bed
And I swear he snores like a grown human man.
My constant companion
He always seems to know when I am sad or lonely because he will either lick my face or just put his head on my lap.
He loves me unconditionally despite my unorthodox madness
My constant companion
I call him my little superhero.
But everyone else calls him Buddy.

Aloha from Hawaii

On a journey of self-discovery. I learned so much along the way.
I knew I could be strong and courageous.
I learned I could be an inspiration and my own hero
I realized I could walk with my head held up high and still be humble
I knew I could walk this journey every day and never question who walked with me, and I never had to ask if anyone would leave my side.
I learned so much from my blessings, who gave me the strength to keep smiling and moving forward.
And my journey’s end, I will never forget how much I have grown and know I am always His daughter.

Aloha from Hawaii

Every journey
beings with a try.

Every try
beings with a step.

Every step
beings with a path.

Every path
beings with you.

Aloha from Hawaii

My challenges are my boulders
Some have been flattened.
Some are a lifetime.
I just have to adjust and Keep moving forward.
Some are forgiven but not forgotten.

All I know is no matter how bad it gets
I know He will be by my side
Guiding my path, Guiding my light
And scaring off the darkness.

I have too many things to do
To allow something to derail me now.
I will keep moving forward like a true warrior would.
I will keep tossing whatever boulders come my way aside that stands in my way.

I am my light
I am a rebel
I am strong
I am the daughter of God
I am loved
I am truly blessed.

Aloha from Hawaii

I’ve been asked this question by many
So if inquiring minds want to know
I will gladly tell you.
I write primarily to express myself and to help make sense of my life
I write to vent out my feelings when I’m sad or happy or royally pissed off
I write to go on adventures with my little superhero
I write because it helps with my mental issues
I write to make others’ days brighter
I write to keep my inner demons at bay
I write because it’s the gift Our Heavenly Father gave me.
I write because I want to help others through my writing.

Aloha from Hawaii

Boom boom pow
The roll of thunder
Breaking through the endless clouds.
Sitting on the rooftop watching as the lightning strikes.
I just laugh watching others scrambling in fear while I just start dancing under the sky.

Boom boom pow
I hear the roar of the Lioness as I howl at the moon.
I can dance on my own
I can hear my voice amongst the chaos.

Boom boom pow
I know I am broken
I know I am struggling
But I still dance on my own

Boom boom pow
I know I am on a journey
I know I have a powerful voice
I know I am loved
I know that’s all I need

Boom boom pow
Just watch me dance in the rain
Just watch me dance in the thunder
Just watch me dance in the lightning

Boom boom pow
BOOM BOOM
