Aloha nui kakou! Hope everybody is in good health + held hearts 🙌🏽❤️ it’s been a while since I’ve done a solo mama post and have been meandering not aimlessly but more timelessly trying to get centered enough to move forward on things I’ve been running from. I guess this is a sort of honoring post for all the intimate support that I am grateful to have around sisterhood and motherhood as things in life have quickly started to pick up at a new pace after a while of loving holding protection. YOU are truly a blessing through all the learning, shifting, supporting, growing and so much of this work as sisters and mothers requires us to turn inward. Not away really but deeper inside of our darkest parts to find the rigor needed again and again to pull out everything that needs healing to be placed gently into the light. The self love thing. The knowing voice this. That nothing and everything part. The peace now edge. With so many parts to remember who and where, it’s such a blessing to know we’re here now and together 🙏🏽❤️Thanks so much to all the sisters and mamas who consistently bring their everything and constantly push me along to the battle field for our children and our people in the graceful form of peaceful warriors who are moving mountains and birthing a new era, in the name of aloha aina + in the midst of true chaos and chosen peace. In the finite spaces between, that balance between light and dark, we all come from a long line of warriors, and what I’ve been trying to get solid on in myself is that self love, honoring ourselves, is really about being so firmly aware of the opportunity of this existence, that all that shows itself true is the honoring of intensity, strength, honest purity, aloha, struggle and intricacy of the perfect DNA passed down to us by our kūpuna. By loving inward, there is a sense of gratitude and reverence for the very bloodline that poured itself into this aina.

Aloha nui! 🙌🏽🙏🏽❤️ this might be a multiple post day ~ 2/25/18 - 2/25/19 ~ today makes ONE YEAR since we noticed River’s eye movement that took us on our path of unique + deep care with her 🙌🏽❤️ something that will continue all our lives. We are here bc of who Ke Akua and our kūpuna have made us and we are here remembering to thrive along in the most challenging moments bc you all are beside us and lift us up everyday. Here’s a clip of River working on her Clarita @lorilillyhi ~ with so many procedures and supplements, we also “take” them too and encourage Hunny to share these lā’au and practices with her ki’i pēpē so things like preparing for a non-sedated blood draw + being interrupted constantly for lā’au 😬🌱are uniquely normalized and loving events for our daily lives 💪🏽🤲🏽❤️🙏🏽 we can say “wish us luck” and when it comes down to it, really it’s all about faith. Faith in God, our kūpuna, our choices and medicines that come from them and from the earth, faith in ourselves as part of a deeply loving and rooted community and as parents who learn and improvise like all those who have come before. Here’s to being thankful every breath and keeping the faith in each one. Aloha nunui ❤️❤️ #mahalomahalomahalo #restoringourriver #healingallthetime
Aloha nui ❤️❤️❤️ Wishing you folks lots of health, aloha, inspirational break throughs, even spread weight on your shoulders + the comfort of fulfilling kuleana with the warmth or coolness of waiwai in ways that bless and heal you and your ohana 🙌🏽❤️ belated happy new year, Lonoikamakahiki + Kung Hee Fat Choy! We celebrated River turning 2 years old last month and continue to be as present as possible in witnessing life, its miracles and the territory of terrifically terrifying 2’s 😬🥰We are so thankful for your support + aloha as we continue to stay the course with River’s well rounded team. Her 2-yo check ups went well, we continue to monitor her + have also been blessed with unique needs services from Keiki O Ka Aina + Easter Seals who provide home visits to coach us as parents and in supporting her growth + development with the caring, informative support from her vision and occupational therapists. We’re stoked on her use of her lā’au ‘ike for extending just one of her senses in how she perceives, experiences, learns from and teaches us about “orientation and mobility.” We’ve moved 2x in the last 5 months and push our limits on how to minimize + expand at the same time, hopefully remaining diligent and efficient, and being continuously reminded of your aloha and support as we find months-old love notes and letters tucked away in folders and boxes as we shift, unpack, reset + stay whole. We love you and thank you and wish you all the same goodness that you send our way! Thank you for what you share with us for our daughter as together we keep building our community’s vision of health + healing. Aloha nui! ❤️❤️❤️ PC: @pekuna.hong blessed us with BenParker market visits and captured some lā’au love moments @hanale_m_bishop #restoringourriver #healingallthetime
