Miracles on 24th St....

To my girls: The closeness that twins experience is unique. Growing up in the same family, and the same age, they are in a unique position to share perspectives on life. On the other hand, many twins experience a need for space. They may find their close relationship to be stifling. Depending on their personalities they may be the bes...t of friends or worst of enemies. Their closeness having the potential to both bring them together or separate them as far as possible from each other.

To my son: Oh how the years go by,
Oh how time can certainly fly.
From once just a thought in far away dreams,
now into my arms and in my eyes gleam
the presence of you.
Your laughter and smiles
which go on for miles,
warms my heart and soul.
You're growing up so fast,
as I wish each moment with you to last forever.
My little boy will someday be a man
and right by your side I will forever stand.
I will pick up the pieces when you fall,
I will hold your hand and help you stand tall.
And when the day comes when you are on your own,
never feel that you are alone.
No matter how near or far apart
I am always right there in your heart.
Always remember whatever you go through
that no matter what, I will always love you

A very happy birthday to my bday ladies, Isys and Tuseline, today they are 11yrs old! And to my darling son, Mokonen, he's the big 5 yrs old today! Woo Hoo!!

Martin Luther King Jr

The life of the Nobel Peace Prize winner and black civil rights leader continues to inspire people around the world with his message of non-violence on the road toward equal rights for all. Today in the US, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is an official holiday observed with parades and community service as well as events and festivals to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. on "MLK Day", celebrated this year on Monday, January 17, 2011.

Some kings rule their kingdoms sitting down Surrounded by luxury, soft cushions and fans But this King stood strong stood proud stood tall When the driver told Rosa "Move to the back of the bus!" When the waiter told students "We don't serve your kind!" When the Mayor told voters "Your vote don't count!" And when the sheriff told marchers "Get off our streets!" using fire hoses, police dogs and cattle prods to move them along This King stood strong stood proud stood tall Speaking of peace of love and children hand in hand free at last free at last When some yelled for violence For angry revenge An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth He stood his ground Preaching peace And when some spit out hate He stood there smiling Spreading love Until it rolled like the sea across the land Sweeping away Jim Crow Breaking down the walls Ringing the bell Joyfully For Freedom Until Standing on the mountain top They shot him Coldly Hoping to see him fall Hoping to put him away To bring him low But this King even in death even today stands strong stands proud stands tall And we remember

Happy Hollow Park and Zoo/Japanese Friendship Garden

What a day of fun and excitement!! Woo Hoo!! Today was a time to spend with my kids and my niece, as we ventured to the Newly Remodeled Happy Hollow Park and Zoo.  There were many new changes done, from the schematic to the gardens and  especially to the rides.  It is more constructed towards the younger children and has made it more kid friendly.

We also got a chance to stroll a bit through the wonderful Japanese Friendship Garden.  It still had the quiet and essence that I so remembered as a kid but it was truly sad to see that the once pond filled beauty no longer inhabited the ever so pretty Koi Fishes.  Instead there were a few ducks that waddled through the moss filled ponds.

The bonsai trees and cherry blossoms were still blooming and the other difference is that the once red painted bridge that overlooked the pond was now brown. No Koi Fish means, you were not able to feed the fish or ducks, so the feeding machines were taken out.

The houses and landscapes were still standing, the one view that I remember being quite peaceful and tranquil, was the waterfall. A picture speaks a thousand words...enough said...

Overall, the weather was nice and sunny, and it was fun watching the kids walk through the gardens with such interest. The looks and smiles on their faces were simply...priceless :)

Lokahi Polynesian Dance Group-Winter Island Fest 2011

                                    ...Aloha...one word...two meanings...
Today I had a fun filled time with my kids as we enjoyed the dance styling of the Lokahi (Unity) Polynesian Dance Group as they put on their "Winter Island Fest" at the Mount Pleasant High School Theater.  I was able to see the many talents of the men, women and children, that performed with such excitement and charisma whom now inspired me to think about trying out other forms of dance. 

They entertained and captivated the audience with their Polynesian and Hawaiian Hula dances and Tahitian Drummings to the sound of music, telling the stories and songs with their body and hands. 

I was especially impressed and proud of my beautiful niece, Laelani and her sister, both so talented and have grown to be such positive and outstanding young girls. 

This is all thanks to the direction of Pamela and Mike Fabro, whom started the group in 1999. With hard work and dedication, you can tell that the future is bright and will prosper for them and all the students in this group.  

Thank you for a wonderful show and I'm quite sure there will be many more great performance to come in the future...

Zodiac Sign Change Causes Chaos On Internet

Thanks to the Earth's movement, your astrological sign may have changed.

The Internet is buzzing with the news that the zodiac has been rearranged.

A sign has been added to the list of 12 astrological signs we've been used to, stated the Christian Science Monitor. "Ophiuchus," the added sign is said to be a formation the ancient Babylonians discarded because they wanted 12 star signs, not 13.

Ophiuchus is for those whose birthdays fall on Nov. 29-Dec. 17.

According to the website, the positions were determined more than 2,000 years ago.

Here are the "real" dates of astrological signs, according to astronomers:

Capricorn: Jan. 20-Feb. 16.
Aquarius: Feb. 16-March 11.
Pisces: March 11-April 18.
Aries: April 18-May 13.
Taurus: May 13-June 21.
Gemini: June 21-July 20.
Cancer: July 20-Aug. 10.
Leo: Aug. 10-Sept. 16.
Virgo: Sept. 16-Oct. 30.
Libra: Oct. 30-Nov. 23.
Scorpio: Nov. 23-29.
Ophiuchus: Nov. 29-Dec. 17.
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20.

A Moment in Time...

There comes a time in one person's life when you think back and realize, that every experience and mistake that one makes, becomes part of who they are to make them a better person for the future.  


This I agree whole heartedly, because I've been thru challenges in my life that have made me stronger and a bit wiser, in the choices I make.  And since tis is a new year, there are numerous and endless possibilities to experience and experiment...


Over the past years I have met many new friends and became closer to the ones I already have, and some of the chosen few, I must say have touched me in many ways that can not be explained...


Thank you to my family, my friends, and everyone else who was and is there to support me as I start and begin a new chapter in this adventure of my life. I appreciate you all for being a part of my many escapades and being part of my never ending fairytale...


2011...Time for Change...Time for Love...Time to Live...

Tabitha's Wishful Discovery...A preview of my short story book

Synopsis

A short children’s story about a friendship between a faerie princess who’s lost her way in life and a lost star that helps her through a journey to her destiny

Chapter I

There once was a faerie princess who loved being carefree and was always looking for some new adventure outside of the confines of the castle.  She was the most beautiful faerie on FaerieIsland, with eyes as green as the purest ocean waters and hair of golden curls that swayed in the wind as she ran.  She had a voice of the angels, she was an enchanting singer.

But for this princess, she was not like any ordinary faerie princess.  Who is she, you might ask? My name is Tabitha, Tabitha Goblinshimmer.  I live in the palace with my parents, my mother Trinity, the bringer of riches and wealth, and of course, my father Thomas, the protector of the lonely, whom were the Queen and King of Faerie Island.

I was always searching for a new adventure and on one particular day, decided to wander off outside of the Lands to the outskirts, and escape to my tree house in the forest.  This was where I had made a place for myself, to escape the hectic life of my royal family.  This was a place surrounded by tall trees and fields of flowers that covered the land as wide as far as you could see.

On this day, as I wandered to my home away from home, I had spotted a bright, sparkling light out near a cherry blossom tree.  “I wonder what that could be” I said as I walked towards the light.  With eyes filled with curiosity, I stood staring at what looked like a fallen star. “Oh, my, what have we here? Now, I wonder where it came from.”  As I knelt down beside the star, I gazed with amazement “It such a small little thing” Then scooped it up into the palms of my hand and smiled “Who are you, and how did you ever get way down here?”

The little star looked up at me with eyes as bright as the sun.  “My name is Rainbow Frost, and I have lost my way to the heavens.”  As a tear flowed down his cheek, he sniffled “I must find my way up there before nightfall or I will be lost forever” he said.  I could only sympathize with Rainbow Frost as I carried him up to my tree house, where I gently placed him down on the table and sat down.  “How is it may I be of help?”  I asked as I brushed off pieces of cherry blossom from my hair. 

Chapter II

“I must travel over the SpiritMountains and across the Sea of Wistly and finally up to the peak of Mt SilverDance, then that is where my journey will finally end” said Rainbow Frost as his glow began to dim. “Oh, that will take all day to get there, I’m not sure I have the means to travel that far of a distance” I explained with surprisingly, a thought popped into my head as quickly sprang up to my feet “But I do know who might be able to help us get you there.” I ran to the one open window and called forth my best friend, Thorn HailGlitter.

Thorn HailGlitter was my best friend since we were just tiny sprites. He lived in a small part of FaerieIsland with his father, Lican HailGlitter, where they owned a wand shop. They made the supply of magical wands along with other objects for the all the towns people. He was also an adventurer, and usually, okay, always had to help get me out of the stickiest situations.

Thorn immediately heard my cry for help, and quickly dropped everything and flew to the tree house. He was the only other person who knew about my secret tree house, besides me. Flying as fast as his little wings could carry him. 

He arrived and spotted a twinkling of a light that was shining through the window of the tree house. As he peered through the trees he began thinking to himself. “What had Tabitha gotten into now?” he thought “I hope she isn’t in some kind of trouble again.” He shook his head as he flew into the tree house.

Chapter III

Back at the palace, a very worrisome Queen Trinity paced the grounds back and forth “Now where has my little Tabitha gone to now?” As she raised a hand to her brow, she walked towards the window and shook her head “If only she would just stay put, I might not have to always send out the guards to retrieve her.”

At that very moment, King Thomas entered the chambers and placed a hand on her shoulders and placed a gentle kiss on the nape of her neck.  “My dear Trinity, she is always out to find and seek adventure outside our compounds, after all, she is only but seventeen, darling.” As she turned to face her beloved husband and King, she brushed a hand down the side of his cheek, and with a gentle smile she said “But does she always have to go off without any notice of her absence?”

“I’m sure she is quite able to handle herself” Thomas replied with a cheeky kiss “You mustn’t worry all too much, my dear” With that, King Thomas took Queen Trinity by the hand and led her downstairs and out to the garden. 

Chapter IV

Time and time again, at this time of the year, the flowers were always at full bloom and the hummingbirds and creatures were singing in harmonious song as the sun shown bright above. Slowly, as they approached the entrance to the garden maze, King Thomas stopped and smiled slyly as he said to Queen Trinity, “My dearest Trinity, how you look so lovely as the day I first met you” He knelt down on one knee and kissed her hand. Trinity smiled shyly and nodded, “And my dear Thomas” she answered “You are more handsome than I could ever imagine.”

As King Thomas rose to his feet, he reached into his pocket and slowly took out a box and held it up to Queen Trinity. “My Queen, will you do me the honor and becoming my wife, once more?” Bowing his head, he awaited her answer. She could only stare at the wondrous ring that sparkled like the stars, gleaming in the night sky.

Gasping and tearing up, she replied “But of course, my dear Thomas, there is nothing more in the world than to take you as my loving husband” She smiled gaily as he slipped the perfect ring onto her finger.

“Forever and a lifetime do I imagine the perfect life, if only our daughter, Tabitha was here to rejoice in our happiness” Said Queen Trinity as she shook her head.  With a sweet and tight embrace, they kissed each other so deeply as if for the first time.  As they strolled amongst the high walls of the garden maze, Trinity still could not help but think what her sweet Tabitha was up to.

Chapter V

As Thorn entered the tree house, he quietly flew behind Tabitha and tapped her on the shoulder “Um, hey Tabby, whatcha doing?” He raised an eyebrow and points down at Rainbow Frost.  “And what might I ask is the reason it is so bright in here?” Startled and surprised, Tabitha held onto Rainbow Frost and jumped to her feet, swinging an arm and knocking Thorn in the head. “Oh, I’m so sorry, but have you not learned from past incidents, that is what you get for sneaking up on me like that…Hmmph!”

Rubbing his forehead, he brushed the pain away “It’s nothing, I have a hard head anyway” Peering with wide eyes, he couldn’t stop gazing at the little star. “This is not good, Tabby” As he stood firmly with his hands on his hips “Do you know, that you are holding a…” Stuttering for a moment “A s…star.”

Tabitha only nudged Thorn in the shoulder as she sat back down. “Of course, duh, I know that” She stuck out her tongue at him. “So, are you going to help me get him back up to the heavens or are you just going to stand there stuttering like a fool?” She raised an eyebrow as she place Rainbow Frost gently down on the table.

To Be Continued...

A New Year...2011

A New Year is here once more,
With its visions of future promise.
The old ways passed by,
And a fresh start, there for the taking.
All is optimism;
Gloom is gone!
Looking forward to the innocent blossoming of spring
Blooming into a youthful, balmy summer.
But the world does not change.
That beautiful vision of new cleanness
Comes from within;
From the hope for a better world,
And a desire to let the old ways go.
