Since before I moved to the Islands of Hawai'i, I noticed the pain & resentment the islanders have towards the outlanders...

And this is completely understandable.

Being Natives here, to have their ancestors' land taken away, to have less opportunities for jobs, hoursings, and natural resources. As a girl from a small island of Taiwan, I understand.

But I also understand the travelers who moved here.

I understand the courage they had to overcome, the dream they have built towards this beautiful land...

As a family who moved to the Big Island during the pandemic, there were so much uncertainty & fear in the air.

It wasn't easy to take such a risky move here as a single Mom, but I knew in my heart, it was a leap of faith I was called to make.

So why did I choose to call Hawai'i Home? You may wonder.

Besides all the signs I received from the Divine, Hawai'i has been on my heart since the first time I visited Oahu, it was the energy, though back then I wasn't able to explain what it was that I felt in my heart...

And after moving back & forth the Pacific oceans for years, there is no other place that feels more like Home to me than here. And I am so happy to see my children thriving here playing in the ocean under the Sun...

And that is what made it sad when I see those hateful comments online telling the outsiders to go back where they are from. It is something that I'd love to help in our community... to restore more peace here on the Islands.

It is true there are rude people that disrespect others' life and I truly do see & believe most of the people on the island are kind & full of the aloha spirit.

It made me wondered in aww that we could live in Paradise and yet suffer inside...

And that reminded me of the reality of this world--

Most of us are putting up the front like we are doing "fine" and silently suffering inside, and sometimes, even our loved ones won't even know about it...

Is this how we want our children to live their life though? Pretending they are alright?

Or maybe as parents here on the islands we'd like to create that peaceful & harmonious place for them to grow up together-- beyond race, religion, political opinions & where we came from?!

Can we respect & show more kindness to one another as we all live here as neighbors?

Imagine what that would be like?? 😊

As a healer & a mindset coach, I will share this truth with you:

Our reality is created by what we focus on, believe in and feel on a consistent level, for that is just how our brain functions and how the Power of Attraction works.

And that is why I'd like to challenge you with this:

Can you strive to be kinder & caring person to someone who's different than you?

Can you start noticing the kind-hearted islanders that welcomely greats you?

Can you spot the businesses owned by newcomers that are helping to make the economy thrive??

To quote from my Mentor, Tony Robbins, "There is always something wrong, but so is what's right."

I want to challenge you to start focusing more on the beautiful & positive events in your everyday life,

and then notice what happens to the quality of your life! 😊💚
