The art of learning new things is what I do for fun.
That’s just me.
I’m a bookworm
I’m a loner for the most part
I’m introverted sometimes too
The art of creating things with words is my passion.
I’m creative
I’m a philosopher of words
I’m a poet by nature
The art of taking care of my own
I take care of myself
I help where I can even when it’s not appreciated or it feels that way sometimes
The art of protecting
I’m protective of my loved ones
I‘m protective of my friends
But I’m not so protective of myself
I get scolded on the daily for it
I’m selfless but I need to be more careful with who I share with
Am I worth it
I don’t know
It’s up to you
I wonder sometimes if I’m doing right or just following my instincts or is this all His doing to gear me up for my next mission. Whatever that may be?
Sometimes I doubt myself until someone will remind that I am a courageous and loving soul or sometimes an owl 🦉 will fly over me and I can feel the doubt leave.
Sometimes I wonder if I’m honestly making my Mama Lioness proud given the tremendous amount of responsibility I had been put through of late? Who am I kidding? I know my Mama Lioness is proud of me and she knows I am doing my best. Although it can be difficult, but I know she’s proud of me.
Sometimes I wonder if I’m cursed or blessed because I’m usually the one who carries the load others won’t or is it because I’m know deep down I can do it. So that’s why I wonder if I blessed or cursed to do the right thing?
Sometimes I wonder what this world be like had I not been born into it. It’s weird to wonder what it would be like or could be like without someone in it until it does happen?
Sometimes I wish I could hide in a mountain for a day or a week and see who comes looking !! Hehe, no fear, it’s just a thought I wouldn’t act on.
Sometimes and I know some day I’ll make my dreams come true. Because I’m unstoppable when I put my heart, my soul, and my mind to it.
I don’t lack the courage to change but I still fear the unknown
When the world is cold and lonely
And it looks like you’re alone.
And you think no one cares.
In the shadows, I’m always watching with concern
I just keep on watching
I’ll keep on praying
Until you call out for help
I’ll catch you when you fall
I’ll listen to all your woes
I’ll stay by your side until the storm is over
Just lean on me.
Keep on smiling
Keep on praying
Keep on loving
I’ll always be here
Mama Lioness

Author’s Note: I’ve been thinking of my mom a lot lately. I still miss her every day. I still wish I could call her or meet up with her for lunch lol. I sure miss those times. My mom will always be My Mama Lioness.
I’m sitting here thinking of you
with tears in my eyes threatening to fall
It’s been a month since Our Heavenly Father called you home.
I still can hear your voice
I still can picture you in my mind’s eye
Remembering and cherishing all you taught me
Remembering and cherishing your strength and your heart
Remembering and cherishing your wisdom and your humor
Remembering and cherishing your fierceness and your generosity
You were always there for me throughout my growing pains
You were there throughout my cancer episode
Hehe…. I still can remember fondly how you told God ….He couldn’t have me yet.
Yea, I thought you were crazy for telling Him this, but hey that’s how you were.
You were there for my current illnesses and you never once gave up on me.
I have a promise to keep
And I will.
I know you’re watching from heaven along with gramps and the rest of the ohana.
I’m going to make through life.
No matter what boulders are toss in my way.
I’m going to push through
Because you raised me to be strong and courageous like you.
Before I end this little poem.
I’ll say A Hui Hou, Mama Lioness
I love you and you’ll always live in my heart
Now you can watch me shine.
Doing what inspires me
Doing what makes me happy
Doing whatever I want is the key to my happiness
And if y’all don’t like it then thats your problem not MINE
Doing whatever it takes to make my life better even if it means nothing to someone else
My life not yours
If you want to ride with me then do so on your own account not because you feel like you have to follow me do so because you want to be apart of something meaningful and inspiring.
I’m found my spark again so either ride with me or get the hell out of my way because once I go full throttle
Nothing stopping me ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍❤️🔥💖💝💘💓💗💞💕♥️❣️😘😍🥰😻
Rise Above
Let them see you rise above.
Everything you been through
Don’t be afraid
Rise above
Your fear
Rise above
Your insecurities
Rise above
Your weakness
Just believe tomorrow
It will bring new hope.
Just believe in yourself.
And rise above
Every obstacle
You’ll never know
Unless you try
Rise above
Let them see what you’re made of
Rise Above.
Accept Me As I Am

Summary: My life and the things I went through
You can knock me down.
Boom, I’m up again
You’ll never break me.
Because darling, I’m made of diamonds.
You threw me to the wolves.
Well damn, I came back leading my pack.
Because darling, my pack always has my back
You can kick me while I am down.
I won’t stay down for long.
So you better start running.
Because when I get back up
I’ll be coming for you.
Because darling, I’m a force to be reckoned with when I put my mind to it.
No matter what life threw at me
I always got backup
And dusted me off
And fought like hell toward my goals.
With my pack cheering me on
Because darling, I am still standing
The clouds are darkening
I can feel rain in my soul
No one knows the pain I feel
I guess that’s what I get for trusting the people
The moon is out
But don’t see the light
I see owls and wolves circling
The ones who hurt me repeatedly over and over again

I laugh watching them cringe
My pack coming out to play
I laugh again as they flee for shelter
The owls and wolves blocking their escape
I howl at the moon as the moon takes shape of the moon phoenix.
The moon phoenix hugs me with his wings as he screeched at those who hurt his child
The moon phoenix then dismisses the fools and watch as his child rests peacefully
The following day, the sun dragon rose to find its child running freely with her brethren happily.
Luckily for the fools for the sun dragon didn’t know what had occurred or they be no more.
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.
