Summer has come and it's time tosmile :)

    I have long been  friends with Procrastination. He has grown up by my side for as long as I can remember and has never done me and really harm, or any real good for that matter. He is the son of someone we all know very well, Fear and has a twin brother who also tags along with us wherever we go, Judgement. Now don’t get me wrong these guys have been my boys for as long as I can remember but honestly I’m getting a little tired of them living off my vibes. I’ve started to notice a lot lately how they are the opposite of good friends and how they really are just here to put me down and keep me from achieving any real goals in my life.  But tonight was different, little did I know but two beautiful ladies where about to enter my life leaving Judgment and Procrastination running for the hills with their tails between their legs. Maybe it wouldn‘t be the end of them, but forever would I have these two angels at my side to help fend them off next time they popped into my life.

So I was sitting here at the computer thinking to myself,
“Self, how the heck am I suppose to start this blog off, there has been so much happening I just don’t know where to begin??”
“ Just write whatever you feel and trust that you will relay the message you want” self tells me
“ Ha!” pipes in procrastination, “just forget about it, Trust schmust! If you can’t think of where to start why even start at all tonight, just write it tomorrow.”

“Ya”, tosses in judgment, “ and do you honestly think anyone cares anyway, it’s not as if anything you have to say matters to anyone.”

    I ponder this for a second as I often do. Usually I lower my head in agreement with the two, as I have done so many times in the past and agree. But something inside me tonight is different, something has changed, there is a new presence to my left. One so uplifting and strong  I can’t help but be enveloped by it. I turn to see. There to my left stand two of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my whole life. One with beautiful brown locks flowing down to her bottom and they other with luscious blond locks that flow to just above her navel. I can hardly make out there faces they are shining so brightly, a beauty one could only dream of attaining. I knew straight away without any introduction who they were, Faith and Trust, the daughter’s of Love and Peace ( real good bunch this family, if they were grapes they’d be those gigantic, juicy, moth-watering type just waiting to burst with flavor inside your mouth). I feel the power of their presence take over me, there is no need for them to speak. Finally the words come to me as if  a they were a bolt of lightning. They burst from my mouth, “You know what you two, I have had just about up to here with your BullS**T. I am just gonna write whatever the heck I want. I’m sure there are people out there interested in what I am up to, my family for one, besides this blog is mainly for me anyhow.”

    Procrastination was pushed back with such force by these words that he now resided with his heels over his head on the floor after being knocked over in his chair. They both look at me in amazement and that’s when I  said, in the words of my niece after being put in a time-out by my sister, “ Boys we is not true friends anymo!”

    A new Dawn approaches here at Kokolulu (a beautiful farm and wellness centre located in Hawi, Hawaii). I awaken to the sounding of our neighborhood rooster who proudly greets the new day with a little cock-a-doddle-doing. It’s almost 5am. It seems this is the time my internal clock has decided to set it’s morning alarm to because I find myself up at this time everyday, sometimes even earlier. Must have something to do with my early bedtimes. I try to be asleep around 10pm. Lights out here is around 9pm due to the fact that we are running on both wind and solar power. Which is no big deal to me really. I’d rather be off the grid than staying awake until all hours of the night like I use to. I kind of like this new routine I am getting into. It’s refreshing. Something  about waking up with my rooster friend to greet the new dawn is uplifting, I must admit I sometimes through in a cock-a-doddle do of my own to welcome another new day that has been gifted to me through the grace of the universe.

    After my morning wake up I lay in bed and listen to the endless symphony of birds that have decided to serenade me as well on this beautiful morning. I am grateful that the choose to practice their many scores just outside my window. I love their songs and sometimes choose to join in with them too.

   I am and always have been a huge fan of waking up slow, so even though I have been up since 5 I choose to lay in bed until at least 7. Call me lazy if you want but until you try the awesomeness that is waking up slow you will never truly understand the pleasure that it brings. Sometimes on the other hand I find myself writing or reading. Heck I will wake up at like 1 am sometimes and have the urge to write a song and so I do. I have learned that when those creative juices flow there is nothing to do but honor them no matter what the time and just give in and let whatever wants to come out of me pour out onto the page in front of me.

    It’s March 18th, Lew’s birthday, and Karin has whisked him away for the night to the Marriot where her daughter works. Her daughter was able to get them a room for $60 a night instead of the regular $250 plus, which is what it regularly costs. I am glad for them to have a couple of days together alone and free form the farm. They work so very hard here at Kokolulu making sure everything runs smoothly. The deserve this J.  I have now been at the farm for about 3 weeks and am loving it. Lew and Karin have decided to take me on as their adopted daughter which I couldn’t be more happy about. They are wonderful individuals and I am learning so much from them.

    Now before I go to much further I’d like you all to jump into my Delorean with me, do up your seat belts and get ready to take off to a little place I like to call ‘The beginning of it all‘, February 2009. Double check the flux capacitor, fuel gage full, all system’s ago, hang on tight because here we go….
