A story about calia

I think the principle of “like attracts like” applies here. I would love to meet Calia and her husband here in Hawaii or in England, or both. I find her also warm-hearted, inspirational and a very grounded old soul and probably an entity mate.
Very cute picture Calia. I can see you at the shoreline swimming with turtles and feeding them sea grass out of your hands. I’d love the opportunity to introduce you to them when you come out for a visit.
One day, we will create a healing center out here and you can come stay for extended periods swim with dolphins, etc.

Aloha and a hui ho (til we meet again)
Peter

Didn't find lobsters

but went on two dives down at the Two Step last week. Both dives where cut short by equipment malfunctions as my other buddies both had leaky tank and leaky BC which caused them to lose air quickly. The buddy with the leaking BC was a little more scary as it caused him to sink even tho he was adding air to his compensator continuously. He had to hang onto me when we came to the surface to try and repair his BC.

I have some nice photos a friend took but hasn’t sent to me yet.

Pet Gecko

Here is a photo of our pet gecko, Jeff, who lives behind stuff on the walls. He hangs out mostly in the living room, probably eating moths and roaches, and stares down any other geckos that come onto his turf. He got a little scared with the flash, but then jumped from one wall to the other and made Debbie jump too!









Here is a closeup of Jeff, waiting for his next meal. We hope that he does not crawl into one of the roach motels for a free lunch or dinner.

Well, we have over 100 members

Perhaps we should try the 100th monkey effect and all concentrate/meditate/wish for a certain outcome and see if we can influence global paradigms and such. Nothing earth shattering at first, like world peace. Let us see if we can all make a subtle change in world opinion before we try to alter world history.

Any ideas for something simple?

Yeah, the meaning of life

can be so subjective. What I have come up with is to be kind to my fellow human beings and try to live and be an example of the changes I wish to see happen in the world. What do others think, feel or wish about this topic?

First thoughts on the topic

I guess I am not too sure where to start. This is one of those similar to live passionately goals. I guess I have not felt enthused about work, not having a consistent job the past few years, that I am in some confusion as to what work I would love to do. I did volunteer as a mediator in my community and felt a sense of fulfillment and enjoyment when I could work out a nice compromise with two groups in a dispute. But I don’t know if that is the sort of job that I could end up making a decent living at.

Anyone else have ideas on the search for meaningful work that one would love to do?

I trusted Yrush for inviting me to join this goal

but I have to say, this goal sounds like an incomplete sentence. I thought “by making this team” would end with “into blank/something” that would be a worldwide humanitarian cause. So I am still wondering “what will we make this team into?” I joined “Soggy Doggies” to be a secret do gooder. Let’s have a contest to figure out what we will make this team into….with a sense of humor.

Aloha

I've gone diving twice

in the past week and all I have found are the lobster shells on the bottom of the ocean. Somebody else had a nice meal. Will have to overcome my fears and do some nite diving.

Fashion Show at the International Marketplace

Yesterday, we were invited to the International Market in the old industrial area. Lots of girls modeling sarongs and other outfits from the local vendors.

What Life Plan?

I guess I have strayed a bit from the main topic. A few days ago, another friend asked me over the phone “What is your plan?” I struggled a bit and had forgotten what my articulated plan was. For the record, our plan (wifey and I) is, “To stay flexible and open to opportunities that come our way, take advantage of the opportunites that are presented to us, create our spiritual community in whatever form it shows up, and have fun along the way.”

We were planning on moving back to the West Coast last Summer due to the poor work opportunities here, but also realized that some of our investments here were really turning out better than we expected. We also realized that our tax consequences would be much less if we lived in our new home for 2 years at least and then decide if we wanted to move somewhere else, or stay in Hawaii. These days, Madame Pele seems to be smiling on us.

Waterfall update...

We had the waterfall photo on our computer desk behind the wall facing our career side in the feng shui chart. We also had an older pc we wanted to sell and had it set up just below the photo to clear all the old files off of it. I did not realize that it was sitting under the photo of the waterfall. When we listed the pc for sale, it sold in about 3 days. Now, it might have been a coincidence, but it might have been that letting the pc sit under the waterfaill helped aid the sale of it. Perhaps someone else should try that and see if it works with something they want to sell off. I would love to so hear if anyone else had similar results as we did with photos or stuff under their waterfall photo.

Aloha…

In lakes, the ocean, all over

Great feeling of freedom when you do this. Watch out for the hypothermia when doing around Half Moon Bay. :) Castle Lake nearMt Shasta was great too.

Hawaii Five Oh House

Here is a view of our side yard on the new house.




And another view from across the street. There is a small side yard which faces south and gets most of the afternoon sun. It has been painted inside and out as we speak.
