In Enters the Lady

Dance.

It has always been a part of my life and my Life has always depended on it in many ways. I remember when i first started Hula. It was in the foster home in Hawai'i on Pearl Harbor. We were used to entertain the Military Ohanas that came there to service the country. More than one way. If you know what I am saying. You see, I, Myself, have been in the Military World since I can remember and it is not always a good laugh but it is a joke. haha.

Ok so Comedy is Not one of my Best Traits but I would Like to think that I try very well yeah.

I am remembering how humbling Hula made me feel thru the years. That spirit. The Spirit of Aloha. As we Polynesians say. My Hula days ended when my Fosters moved me to the mainland. Illinois to be exact. It was Culture Shock to me because everyone was just so plain jane and free. In their own unique way. Even the dancing on the Mainland Opened my eyes to the term "Culture".

I have seen it over time. And now Dance & Culture has taken a huge turn for the worse with the imaging of mainstream media psychology. Is Twerking REALLY The Norm Now? Is there a classier way to Twek... I mean. Twurk! Lol. But no matter what it was always dance. Dance was something I came back to. Over and Over and Over. Then you realize why. And then you find that passion again. Dance has helped me heal. And I Continue to.

I never just busted out dancing like I did in front of Q. And he just sat there smiling. Feeling Safe Was A Battle at first. But now i sit back, Learn, Dance, Be Mindful & Enjoy the Memories to Come.  I realize *singing* "its where we are" As I Find My New Comfort In A New Location, New New Normal, New Habits etc, I Am Praying Dance Be One of Those Habits.

Mom on COVID Quarantine

       It dawns on me how much I miss my girls when you cannot touch them. Although they are in the same apartment, not even 20 feet away, I cannot touch them. I cannot hug them or kiss them. I can see them. But that is different than an actual touch. It reminds me of the Pandemic and how many people out there are deprived of just that. A intimate connection. A touch. A feel of love that has been neglected to us by COVID and "Social Distancing". I am sure everyone is over it by now. But the pandemic reigns on. Now, I am in my 4th day of quarantine having tested positive. And it doesnt really matter how careful one person thinks they are, who you stay away from or how many time you wash your hands or sanitize. This virus is around and well.        Having to social distance has many in a rut. having to fight the temptations within to just go out and do what we want, which I am sure people still do anyway. But now, having caught this virus, it makes me look at the world differen

From A Bad to Good Kakahiaka

Aloha Kakahiaka All this early Friday Morning. SO as many of you know or will know, I am a Veteran & Survivor of many traumas in my life. I wake up here and there with different moods because of my vivid dreams of insanity. Many times its irritating to come out of such sleep but I'm getting better. I just had a dream. It was confusing and sad at the same time. There was a empty house at first and myself and my fiance were getting ready to go somewhere important. THEN, everything switched. It was like people, people I didn't even know, all around me. In the Living room, behind the walls, in hiding spots in the house, the hall ways etc. And then another part of the dream added babies. I'm waling thru the hallway with all these people ignoring me as I ask"where is Sirquon? We have to go?". And it was like no one was listening to me or hearing me. It was as if I wasn't even there. Throughout my dream i got frustrated and then sad because i felt he, Sirqu

All Around The World The Same Song

Aloha All reading this. It has been one heck of a day! I got a lot accomplished though. Yey me. BUT! There were certain things that kinda got to me, I Prayed for and let go. One thing that gets to me is the ignorance in our Media. SOOOOOO much of the Media in the US has overpoured to other countries with the same nonsense going on. Its an EVERY day thing just having to wake up and find out our Dumbass President said more stupid shit to raise more tempers and hate and literally push policies and bills that are no where near for the "people" of America. What else gets me is that people, such as Kellyanne Conway & the rest of his wonderful aristocrats, stay defending him by overtalking & redirecting questions into stupid facts which sound pretty aweful because like myself, I am SURE many Americans out there are STILL waiting for you to Answer The Question. Not deflect with the psycho motive attitude of control & condescending smiles on your FACE! And THEN!!!!
