I do not remember exactly when I was introduced to the Hawaiian word 'Ohana' (family) for the very first time, but I instantly liked it. Over the years as I kept coming back to Hawaii, I started to understand that this word is not just a word, it is a whole concept of its own.
It is one of the most essential core elements of the Hawaiian life and lifestyle.
I truly believe that we as spirits may choose our blood families ahead of time. Most of us have struggles and challenges during the early childhood and teenage years with our parents and siblings. I believe that we choose these circumstances and conditions in order to learn, become stronger and more aware and conscious of who we are and what we are here for. It is a preparation phase for our true life mission on Earth.
My background has certainly helped me to become strong, independent and a persistent person...
