How I love owls!... a beautiful Spirit connection... The property where I lived for the past two years was truly a Divine gift. Throughout that time, whenever I needed a very special sign from Spirit about my journey, it would often manifest as a Great-Horned Owl feather during my Nature walks - always in different places of several square miles! I loved hearing them hoo-hoo-ing at dusk or during the night near the house I rented... Now on the Big Island of Hawai'i, I was delighted to find … [Read more...]

Experiences that just can't be expressed in words...! I love places that make all the sacred elements so beautifully tangible... like this scenic view that I photographed from a trail in Kahala forest overlooking Pololu beach... Air (invigorating wind), Fire (radiant sun), Water (glorious ocean), Earth (hills, valleys, forest, beach), Spirit (the Divine permeating this awe-inspiring beauty!)... With love and wonder-filled spirit, … [Read more...]

Our wonderful feet were designed to receive Mother Earth's healing energy with every step... a divinely created relationship to maintain our well-being... (logically, it makes sense!... footwear with synthetic soles are a recent invention) Our feet's soles are like maps of our bodies which perspire continuously, filled with nerve endings and receptors. Water makes an exceptional conduit of energy (hence feet perspiration being genius). When our bare feet make contact with natural ground, … [Read more...]

We just never know who might be co-existing with us in our environment, regardless where we are!... I was quite surprised to encounter this pretty snail this morning, just a few yards away from the lanai door. I hadn't seen one yet on the Big Island and this one was SO obvious, approximately the size of a Brazil nut in the middle of my path! I love spirals and so this little being's shell (in which it was hiding when I discovered it) was a delight to behold... Who might be sharing your … [Read more...]

So many wonders grace our world - the more we focus on them, the more of them we see and experience... I was in absolute awe when I arrived here on the Big Island of Hawaii five weeks ago... and my view was this glorious Jacaranda tree (seen from the Jacaranda suite of Home Heart Hawaii). I was used to seeing lilac bushes of beautiful colours of lavender, but this is a HUGE tree, making that much bigger of an impact!... you can see a picnic table and seat beneath its large branches (they … [Read more...]

Every moment alive is sacred, with the potential to be an extraordinary experience and lesson... depending on our perspective and attitude... each choice we make affects the quality of our life and that of others... We're all powerful teachers to each other by example... by honouring who we are... every single being in our world and beyond, human and otherwise, is a teacher... When you look at this photo I'm sharing today, what teaching do you receive from the shining sun, the clouds, … [Read more...]

A master of flight and migration (especially for a butterfly!)... the glorious Monarch!... It's so significant to me, having appeared in truly incredible ways during highly transformative times throughout my life... What a Divine gift it has been to discover it here on the Big Island, when answering Hawaii's call has been a giant leap of faith!... I had no idea the Monarch exists beyond the North American continent!... I've been familiar with this gorgeous, big butterfly since my youth, as … [Read more...]

It's always such a blessing to encounter these beautiful, docile beings of the ocean!... This one was sunning herself and resting on the warm lava stones of Hawaii, fully being in the moment... while others were floating like little islands in the shallow water near the shore, feeding peacefully, occasionally poking their heads out of the water to take in another breath... making eye contact... Having voluteered 11 years ago for 3 months in Costa Rica on the Pacific side, for PRETOMA … [Read more...]

I'm always fascinated by how well many animals blend in perfectly with their surroundings!... It's only when they move that we suddenly see that tree bark, stone, coral, moss, branch, leaf, flower, etc... come to life into a completely different life form than we previously perceived! I felt so privileged to see this beautiful, small Black-Crowned Night Heron calmly fishing in a "royal pond" late afternoon (not at night or early morning as is its usual behavior!). It saw me but kept … [Read more...]

A courageous little bird brought me to tears today... After leisurely enjoying the sights, sounds, aromas and textures of Pu'uhonua O Honaunau, I felt guided to spend some quiet time at the picnic area a short walk away by the ocean... Amazingly, for a Friday late afternoon and evening, the space was vacant! It felt like such a sacred space between two giant trees overlooking lava stones and the endless ocean!... Then I knew I was right where I was supposed to be when a beautiful … [Read more...]
