The beginning of these posts was my My Life Just Hit a Brick Wall at High Velocity, on the Cusp of My 50th Birthday: Mid Life Crisis 101 post. I link that post because I want to give my readers some useful context for what I write in these posts.

Warm greetings all! 🙏 💚

Today feels like a pretty full day. I made another batch of coconut milk, cried and moved more energy and emotion early in the morning, and I received an intriguing text from my friend Audrey, asking me if I'd go with her to participate in a three-day Thai massage training course from the 19th to the 21st, at La'akea, where I just submitted and application, and may be moving at the end of the month. The timing of this invitation is really quite synchronistic, as when I was giving Kaï some body and energy work last night, I told her that I was feeling that the sessions that I do with women were going to become even more dynamic on a Thai massage mat. I love it when that kind of thing happens.

Kaï, Austin, and I went to the Saturday Kaimu Farmer's Market, to pick up a few supplies for the week. I also went to drop off a plant (a white-fruited strawberry) to my plant friend, Abby, and spend some time with her for a bit. I was greeted with really wonderful hugs by both Abby, and her friend, Casey. I hung out with them for most of my time at the market, again. Abby and I have both expressed interest multiple times in getting together with each other to do something fun. We've been texting back and forth all day. I think it may happen tomorrow. 😁

After then market, we drove to town (Pahoa), to do more food shopping for the week. Kaï father and half-brother were arriving on the Island today, and would be staying with us at The Sanctuary of The Blue Dragon for a couple of days. They will be leaving for a few days to Kona, on the other side of the Island, when I am going to La'akea with Audrey for the Thai massage course.

When we returned to The Sanctuary of The Blue Dragon, I focused on getting a few hours of work done. I stained and re-stained the boards at the entryway to the community event space, and one of the main support posts. I also put screens back on one of the buildings, sanded down a rusty oven, and offered a hand making dinner.

While I would have liked to meet Kaï's father and half-brother in person under different circumstances, it was still wonderful to meet them. We all shared a wonderful dinner, over much great conversation.

Kaï will be taking her family to ecstatic dance at Kalani in the morning, then to the beach, and finally The Lawn later. I will likely not be joining them. It seems like a good time to go do something fun with Abby for the day.

Polish_20220714_121754649.jpg

Even though all this with Kaï is still challenging, it's feeling better, and there are some notably exciting possibilities and opportunities appearing, which gives me the feeling that I am on the right track. The future is looking a bit more interesting indeed.

Thank you for your kindness and support. I do have an amazing life, it's just a little more challenging to fully appreciate at the moment. I love sharing, so much, but my heart also hurts so much, and that doesn't help with inspiration, creativity, or motivation. One breath and one day at a time. Thank you again. 🙏 💚
