Moana - the movie – floated in my awareness before it came out due to previews at
least six months prior. However, seeing/hearing/feeling this precious little princess
singing How Far I’ll Go is what really fired me up to just have
to see it. Like the line "where the sky meets the sea"……it called me. 😉Alas, a crazy series of events prevented me for a
while - like many situations in my life! On the waiting list, for
weeks, of the library in Florida, it finally became available two days before my departure. This could have been fine except when I stopped by the library to
check if there was anything waiting for me they said no. A call came close to
closing time that the DVD had been there but by then I was too far away. Debated the various
ways I could possibly see it the next day. A bit disappointed, I realized it
wouldn’t be peaceful with my planned driving departure time of 4:00am the following morning.
Finally got to watch it for the first time in California with my “perfect
daughter”. My senses stirred as I profoundly related on many levels!
Later I shared this video with my parents. The result? They wanted to see Moana so we rented and watched
together. In Washington, I showed my sis the video during my surprise visit for her birthday so ended up viewing the movie with her and my nephew. Eventually it came out on
Netflix and something told me to experience it again. Found out later my sister
had re-watched it the same day. Once I see a movie, I generally don’t like to
view it again so this was a significant exception.
Meanwhile, in April I got Windi's reading I shared in post I AM HOME which guided me to look for a work exchange in the Hawaiian Islands. Reaching out to my Hawaii
connections – about fifty or so, I hoped for a personal need or introduction. Mahalo
to all who encouraged with ideas, introductions and bright energy. Nothing viable came
to fruition via that avenue so I went the route of social media and craigslist.
A number of back and forth communications ensued, yet nothing blossomed. Reluctantly
I resorted to a resource I wasn’t thrilled about as you may recall from
WORKAWAY – Not So Ethical? Workaway performed with its usual majority of hosts not getting back to me and
those that did saying they didn’t need help now even though their profile page
indicated they were actively looking at the time. So often I was tempted to
make the “wrong” situation work just to make something happen. I’m very thankful I didn’t.
After investing hours on workaway reading through hundreds of
host profiles – making notes, I sent a few dozen inquiries. True to prior
experience, no one even responded save one who right away politely said he had
enough help through January. I sent a second request to 5 who really had
positive looking situations. Again, these didn’t pan out. After waiting a
while, I spent more hours looking at secondary possibilities and sending more
inquiries. One of these resulted in a very strange interaction that could be a
whole blog story in itself about a place on Big Island previously known as
Whalesong Sanctuary…..but I will Let It Go. 
June was puzzling and full of wonder literally and
figuratively. Among other activities, there was much puzzle-making with my
parents…many colorful, interesting puzzles. There were more birthdays,
including Yours Truly, and celebrations. As we know, everything happens for a
positive reason. We may not be privy to that reason at the time or ever. I
really thought I was going to be in Hawaii by the end of June. As July rolled
in I was blessed with three powerful situations which clearly identified
themselves as part of the reason I was still in California and not Hawaii.
While challenging for those involved, I am grateful and honored for the part I
was able to play in assisting.
Back at the Workaway Saga….I sent out a third round of
queries. Since these were now not my first choices, I was prepared to be a little flexible with some of my wants. I asked a host(ess) if their place was walking
distance to the beach as I was desiring to get back to my morning beach run
ritual. Naomi replied promptly indicating it was a 40 minute walk but that
beach was rocky although the water could be good for swimming. The are several
beaches within a 10 minute drive as well. She left her phone number asking if
I’d like to talk. Incidentally, her number included a combination of 4 of my
magical numbers see ALOHA A sign? Of course I wanted to talk! Babycare, midwifery, massage, yoga, meditation,
fruit and vegetable garden, nestled in nature? Oh yeah! We seemed to click
right away as we spoke although, at the time, neither of us completely realized
the wealth we had to offer each other. So many amazing pieces fell perfectly
into place one right after another. When I booked my flight there were only 2
seats left – one more than enough for me. From the time of our call to when my
travel arrangements were all lined up was about an hour. Total synchronicity!
So July finally found me in Aloha Land. Of course, there
will be more to share down the road. Where has Life found you? I am still in
range for Telephone Wellness Coaching for those readers in the United States. Whether you live where you are or a
traveler like myself, perhaps my gifts can enhance your journey? If wellness
guidance seems appropriate for you, our biggest puzzle will probably be
coordinating time zones. Swirling much Aloha your way. Mahalo nui loa for all
your love and support as we all continue to evolve into Higher Versions of
Ourselves!
