********************************************
Aloha (Hello) from Hawai'i, To all my Classmates, Ohana's and Friend's...
I'm from Honolulu, the island of Oahu.
I'm a mother of 2 grown sons, Mahoe 34, and Kawehi 24, also a grandmother of 3 handsome young grandsons, Mahoe 6, Hauola 5 & Nawai 4 and 1 in the oven ;). I'm also a mother in law to my sons wife, Leimomi Kahumoku, and a great friend to my youngest sons girlfriend, and wife to be =), Raena, love you all.
I come from a large ohana (family) of 8 sibblings (me included), and I'm the second oldest out of 6 girls and 2 boys, Puaainahou (oldest sis), Kalehuamakanoe (me), Kapalikauoha (bro), Kekelaokalani (sis), Ko'olani (sis), Haleaka Iolani (sis), Mahoe (bro), Lehua Iolani hanai'd/adopted (baby sis). I have a total of 22 nieces & nephews (Kapalikauoha, Analu, Pualani, Leilani, Ku'upuaainahou, Kapo'ulakina'o, Panila, Kapalikauoha, Kamanaoikapu'uwai, Pililani, Keoki, Kehaulani, Kekelaokalani, Kauila, Hokulani, Kamauoha, Jeff, Lilinoeonalani, Keolaona'ali'i, Kalehuamakanoe, Ka'uionalani, Kaleihulumamo), and 30 grand nieces & nephews (Nainoa, Kamoeuhane, Ku'uleiawapuhi, Keli'ihanapule, Mahoe, Makana, Makanaokekai, Akoni Ka'imipono, Shansea, Zeiden, Stacy, Kilihuneonalani, Sidney, Jakey Boy, Ka'alaulaikekumu, and 11 more, can't remember all there names lol) *whewz* so far, and more in the oven WOW!
I also come from an ohana/family of healers (Kahuna Lapaau/Kahuna la'au Kahea/Hewahewa Ohana) through powerful pules/prayers for healing of the bones, sickness, etc... etc.. etc. Our ohana/family are also caretakers, and guardian's of Hikiau Heiau/Sacred Hawaiian temple which was built back in the 1700's by ohana/family at Kealakekua (the pathway to God) Bay, Napo'opo'o, as well as being taught hula from my Aunt Hoakalei Kamau'u, at the age of 3yrs and up, and whose Kuma hula/Loea (master of masters/teacher) and ohana/family member was my grandmothers younger sister Aunty Iolani Luahine which was hanai'd/adopted by ohana/family, the Luahines, who had danced for King Kalakaua and his royal court back in the days of old Hawai'i. Hula was a way of telling our stories, and ali'i lineage, wurther it was through geneology/love stories etc... etc.. etc., not to mention how we LOVE to kanikapila (entertain/sing) at home or luaus/painas (parties) or even in the backyard/garage "HAWAIIAN".
My favorite hobbies and past times are **Arts & Crafts (pareaus, fimo clay, silk leis & etc...), **Collecting Quilts (QVC) (lol), **Listening to good music/Karaoke (dancing & singing like nobodies biz lol), **Swimming (Aquarobics), **Walking (huff'n n puff'n) *rollzeyes* (lol), **Hiking *breathinghard* *whewz* (lol), **Biking *IcandoitIcandoit* (lol), **Traveling (between ainas/islands & mainland)(lol), **Geneology (Families R Forever), **Surfing the Net making new friends (Prospects/Customers) WoooHooz & **Network Marketing (Busy Busy Busy) Quote from a mentor of mines (Mr Danny Bae) > "Be Thick Skinned, Focus Straight Ahead, And Use Your Horn To Push The Negative A Side" =).
I'll move anywhere if I have to, hopefully not anytime soon (lol) =P (you can take the girl from the aina/island but not the aina/island from the girl)(mainland).
I'm Hawaiian/Chinese/Caucasian and a lil American Indian descent, a truly local hawaiian girl at heart. Enjoyed doing hula when I was younger (I should go back into hula for exercise purposes since I got momona/thicker) *rollseyes* (lol) and sports (volleyball/basketball/soccer/softball) til I got pillowy & lost my balance (Lmao) j/k, but I did enjoy sports (favorite was volleyball).
I love meeting people from all over the world (open minded & positive peeps preferred) (lol) remember "The Law of Attraction"? What you say/send out is what you get back (The ...Expand for more
Secret). "What comes around goes around" so always think before speaking, but at the same time, don't get caught up in negavite conversation. (Ignore)(lol)
I'm kolohe (rascle), easy going, down to earth, can be "Outspoken" at times (lol), open minded (business minded as well), respectful (treat others like you want to be treated), very spiritual (LDS), humerous *giggles*, taurus/gemini (yup thats me)(lol), Rooster (chinese sign), & much more, just ask (lol).
Job's I've worked since graduating from High School; Wackenhut Security (Store Detective), Sales Person (Woolworths Jewelry, Walter Clarkes Shop), OPC (Timeshare in different resorts in Waikiki), Trans Hawaiian Services (Tour Driver), RGB Contracting Co. (Housing Maintenance), Dispatcher (Freeman Guard's Security Services), and my own business, out of my home for over 25 yrs during the same time as my other jobs, while raising my sons, and in between stay at home mom, Fern's Balloon's and Flower's, and Kalehua's Kreation's (Arts & Crafts), and Network Marketing (Been there, and done it all lol). Phewzzzz that was long (lol).
Anyways, nuff about me, how bout you? (lol) If you visit my site, don't be shy, just say hi... (Aloha)
Aloha (love) & (((honiz))),
Fern aka Kalehua ;)
P.S. As you've noticed, I have several different High Schools on my profile. Its because I like to try and keep in touch with friends and ohanas (families) that went to other schools elsewhere from elementary/intermediate/high schools days, not to mention friends that I knew at different HS's (Prospects/Customers) LOL =P.
Schools I went to -
*Janis Park School (Daycare)
*Pauoa Elementary (grade)
*Lanakila Elementary
*Laie Elementary
*Stevenson Intermediate (middle)
*Kawananakoa Intermediate
*Farrington HS
*Roosevelt HS (graduated)
(Now see all the schools I went to? That was'nt by choice, I was young & still living at home =P).
P.S.S. I do have a dream and dreams do come true. (mahalo ke akua for all your inspirations)
*******************************************
In closing "May You Be Blessed"
May you be blessed
with all things good.
May your joys, like the stars at night,
be too numerous to count.
May your victories be more abundant
than all the grains of sand
on all the beaches
on all the oceans
in all the world.
May lack and struggle
only serve to make you stronger
and may beauty order and abundance
be your constant companions.
May every pathway you choose
lead to that which is pure and good and lovely.
May every doubt and fear
be replaced by a deep abiding trust
as you behold evidence of a Higher Power
all around you.
And when there is only darkness
and the storms of life are closing in,
May the light at the core of your being
illuminate the world.
May you always be aware you are loved beyond measure
and may you be willing to love unconditionally in return.
May you always feel protected and cradled
in the arms of God,
like the cherished child you are.
And when you are tempted to judge
may you be reminded that we are all ONE
and that every thought you think
reverberates across the universe,
touching everyone and everything.
And when you are tempted to hold back,
may you remember that love flows best when
it flows freely
and it is in giving that we receive
the greatest gift.
May you always have music and laughter
and may a rainbow follow every storm.
May gladness wash away every disappointment
may joy dissolve every sorrow
and my love ease every pain.
May every wound bring wisdom
and every trial bring triumph
and with each passing day
may you live more abundantly than the day before.
May you be blessed
And may others be blessed by you.
This is my heartfelt wish for you.
Amen
Btw, if you need to reach me, you can leave me a message, and I'll get back to you.. (808)979-5021 Fern or Kalehua
