TODAY 8-14-14

What a great day! As I listen to Smashing Pumpkins emphasizing randomly on my Pandora shuffle “Today” (is the greatest day I've ever known).... ya buddy, had to write ... My day started with a zodiac ride to Kaanapali Beach. I love working the beach! We get to Baywatch it: hitting the gas beaching the zodiac on the sand to unload and set up base camp... “The three yellow umbrellas in front of Kaanapali Beach Hotel” ; )

I seriously feel like a Princess of the Sea being escorted by 2-3 strapping fine gentlemen... Aaaah... they are so good to me.

After they get the umbrellas totally secured; able to withstand huge gusts of wind that come ripping down the beach every once in a while... these dust devils are a sight... I set up my office which consists of two coolers as my “desk” that contains “office equipment” such as staples, clipboards, paperwork, HIGHLIGHTERS, etc... with one of the coolers holding the laptop down with its handle seat belting it propped open.

Our day was crazy busy but I Iove chaos... good chaos... Parasail trips every half hour running two boats seating up to 12 flyers a trip... Folks that’s lots of people I get to talk to from 8-5...

For the most part, everyone is awesome amazing!!! But... there are those people that you come across that are ones you could have done without. But, thank you for the lesson it does make for a great story! Lol... So lets talk story...

We had some parents who signed their 9 yr old and 12 yr old up to fly 1200 ft tandem on the water for one hour, in flight for 8-10 minutes ... they signed the waivers and even added their names all over the place as if they were going also... After a little confusion because of too many heads for my numbers... after going thru the paperwork again to figure it out... The Wowwowwowski's, total haole Americans with the craziest last name, thought that because they signed their kids up they get a free pass on the ride...

“No, I'm sorry, we have no room for observers and you did not sign up for any observers. So if you want to come back in an hour, I can reschedule you and you can pay $35 each which is an amazing boat ride for a great price, especially for here on Maui.”

They immediately started complaining about this and that because blah blah blah, like its “West Maui Parasail's” responsibility to inform every parent signing their kids up, that they need to buy an observer pass to be on the boat also...

After much unpleasant interaction with this actually, fair fighting debating skilled guy, which I must admit, I enjoyed the challenge and dance with this stranger if you will... I ended the convo with, “Look, you don't buy your kids concert tickets with the idea that you are getting into the concert for free just because you are the parent.” CHECKMATE it was great!

I phoned Jen, Best reservationalist ever!!! AND she is tall blonde and beautiful to BOOT!!!

Anyhow, I had to get back to her to tell her how that all went... I didn’t realize that the dad, who chose to stay behind while wife observed with the children at the later time, was in ears reach somewhere... Which, you know what? I’m da kine that will say to your face what I say behind your back... So freakin happy for that! Haha...

So after I get off the phone with Jen, Mr Wowski steps forward and says, “I don’t appreciate you calling your girlfriends and” ... blah blah blah (telling them all about it)...

OH FUCK... so glad I told Jen exactly how it went down with a bit of girlfriend pizazz, high flying the support of good cop/bad cop when they insisted on canceling if they didn’t get to go for free.

Jen, the amazing gorgeous bad ass she is, had suggested we refund half just to come half way. Well, they had rescheduled for the next trip and bought one observer seat, (that his wife and children were currently on)...

“Well, if you must know, that was the boss lady that wanted to hear how it went”

He continued to debate on this and that ending with 'No he doesn't need to call the office and complain' because I'm sick of listening... He just needed to  “have the interaction and discussion with me on a personal level” ...

With that said, I retorted, “Well, I’m done having any further interaction and discussion on a personal level with you, so if you don’t mind...” CHECKMATE

Well holy hell, high fives and support from the guys who witnessed EVERYTHING, lol.

NEXT... Giant beach crab holding up traffic...

Out of nowhere comes this guy....  

He created quite a crowd, entering on the scene scrambling like Sebastian in da kitchen but instead of a chef with a butcher knife, it was a family of 6 with a snorkel dude that was showing all of them how to grab and hold the crab... pour crab, scrabbling until I got eye to eye with him to say, “Poor crab look at his eye”... His eye had tweaked and looked broke... eww... poor guy.

We flew til after 5; ending with a Great Gentle Gnarly Giant that leaped on in a run from the beach hopping on the zodiac like a young boy running and leaping on his bed at the end of the greatest day ever, who happened to ROCK the last name KING!!!

Lucky fella, he got a private charter because the other party was driving from Kihei and was running 20 minutes late & were great about notifying us politely, graciously asking to honor this flight they are running 20 minutes late for... Great to know! “Mr King, jump on” and he did just that!

You could hear him hollering with excitement, laughter and joy when the Parasail Capt. & Crew dipped this joyful 6'7” perfect set man sporting a mohawk, pierced lip, gauged ears, tats all over, well dressed Punk Rocker with an awesome 4” goatee!!! LOVED IT!!!

Family that showed up from Kihei was a gorgeous couple; a beautiful blonde and a fine handsome black man with their daughters, one that looked just like her and one that looked like him. They had a great accent all British, New Zealand like, who knows... but it sure made them look even more darling. Especially with all their niceness and realness. Loved them.

My amazing day ended with flying fish on the roller coaster ride home with Capt Sean, taking those waves on the sea like the champ he is; motoring to the boat ramp coming up to multiple Eagle Rays mating! I guess tis the season... Wow, if this hasn't been the craziest day ever with all kinds of sightings... down to the low flying cargo plane...  

“What does all this mean?” I ask out loud to Capt Sean.

He looks at me and says, “It means it is mating season”

“Well, I have homework to do, I'm going to look it up, meditate on all these events and hear the message from the Universe.

CRAB – shows how to keep protected on all levels; mental, spiritual, physical. Helping you choose the action best for the moment. Sometimes lateral movement is better than no movement, trust her direction. Crab can teach to keep your emotions guarded as well as keeping your solar plexus energy center protected. Sensing the vibrations around you will aid in communication. Feel the rhythm of life for when true comfort sets in creative potentialities will be born. Crab medicine (energy) will help growth even if it means to leave the old behind. If crab is in fresh water realize the freshness of your world. If Crab is in salt water, it is time to add flavor to your life. Crab will teach much on guarding yourself but also the balance and movement you need to progress into the next phase.

OKAY!!! WOW!!! I have just had a bunch of confirmation to have patience, because I was just starting to bitch in my mind that I don't feel like I am getting to the station fast enough... After all, I am sharing a room with my 15 year old daughter while my 17 year old son is rooming with his cousin Jade, his 21 year old “guardian”... its all legit, I don't understand why I had to appoint my 17 year old to someone to be his guardian so he could live on his “own”, but whatever, thank you Jade for being Dallen's guardian/roommate working side by side supporting yourselves with your mother's help, thank you Danna.

And how cool to send Sebastian... I'm seriously feeling like Ariel with my father's blessing from the sea... King Triton washing up that engagement ring up on the shore, then today Sebastian in seriously the same spot... its like some magical portal that I am dancing in ... loving connecting on such a level... The extreme characters that showed up today on the play list... DUG IT!!! Down to the annoying negative debater, thank you for the practice.

FLYING FISH – transformation of the spirit, the type of fish reveals certain strengths & traits (these fish were FLYING) Fish in general show how to swim the currents of life, use of intuition to navigate effectively, aids in attuning to the world of emotions, the un/subconscious and other worlds, heightened senses including visions dreams and related psychic abilities. Do you currently feel stuck? The river says it is time to flow. Fish can show how to ride the tide to new adventures.

EAGLE RAY – Well, it didn't have eagle ray but it did have manta ray and sting ray... I think an eagle ray is more similar to a manta ray over a sting ray but here are the two... Manta Ray signifies emotional freedom. You are navigating through your emotions with ease and have released old emotional baggage... Stingray symbolizes old emotional baggage coming to the surface in your waking life. You are responding to a situation from an old emotional pain rather than the present.

Well, so there you have it folks, with the low flying cargo plane along with everything else... I am excited and can be patient for a little longer, doing this lovely lateral dance, working this amazing job of mine... that gets me in the ocean to “soften my edges” as my nephew Elden said to me. I am ready to receive my abundance that is arriving so soon and is so near, like the cargo plane... and soon after, or hell, simultaneously, King Triton will deliver my man of the sea, that is perfect for me... EAGLE RAYS

Thank you Scott for the great job you provide to many. It definitely is a family/tribe/village I love being a part of...

Love you all West Maui Parasail: JD, Jen, Jo, Joel, Joely, Johnathon, Diane, Dean, Dragon, Dustin, Darren, Marz, Mikey, Scotty, Sue, Sean, Steve, Frank, Riley, Gabe, Heather, Oshey, Worm, Cat & Celia.

Sweet Messengers in Maui

I haven’t written for a while. I have had the most amazing few days!

It started on Sunday, September 2^nd… I work Sundays, they are better days for selling… plus, this Sunday in particular, I like the distraction from my personal life… I walk to the bus stop, and standing there waiting for the bus already was a woman with a bag of snorkel gear…  Always being on the lookout for someone I can turn on to the best time on Maui, (RAFTING with the DOLPHINS) I ask if she is visiting and start conversation with, Annette.

Annette is here from Germany vacationing solo. I admired how independent this 29 year old married woman was vacationing SOLO. Our conversation flowed so beautifully that by the time Annette was to get off at Ma’alea, she decided to continue with me to Lahaina where I sell raft rides.

Here’s the spiel: “We cruise the rugged coastline, stopping frequently at our favorite snorkel sights. Many dolphins live around Lanai, cruising the coastline. We are frequently surrounded by spinner dolphins riding our bow or just playing around our boat.” I continue to tell her that the dolphins are protected so we are not allowed to jump in the water when we see the dolphins, but if we are already in the water and the dolphins choose to swim with the humans than very nice bonus indeed… but the whole two months I have worked here it hasn’t happened… it happens, but it is not a common occurrence.  And with that said I suggest that she summon the dolphins telepathically when she is on her way to the harbor and create the experience she desires.

 I book Annette and looked forward to seeing her upon her return to hear of her experience.

Monday around noon they drift in and I ask, “How was the trip?”

The first guest off the boat says, “We swam with the dolphins!”

Wow! I could not wait to speak to Annette!

Annette makes her way off the raft and I exclaim, “You powerful woman you! You summoned the dolphins to come swim with the humans!”  We hug and she shares how amazing it was. We exchange info… gotta love facebook… we are going to be forever friends. Before we say our goodbyes she asks if there was any way I would be able to take tomorrow off…she lucked out with the rental car… she had reserved an economy car for $30 a day, they were out of the economy cars and the only car they had was this brand new white Camero that she is looking forward to driving somewhere to check out more of the island…  I sadly decline, because I have to be responsible with a job now. We hug goodbye and she sets off to get a hamburger before she rides the bus back to where she is staying.

Two hours later, work was incredibly slow so I decided to check out and head home. I’m standing in line for the bus and I hear a familiar sweet hello… It’s Annette; she just finished her hamburger and was heading back to the Hostel where she is staying. We agree to check out each other’s place and have her meet the fam.

I get home and sense my son’s need to speak with me about his day so I shortened the visit with Annette. After briefly meeting my son she gave me the most beautiful message… words that I needed to hear. Obviously she is a sensitive and in touch with her gift. What a blessing to run into her. Annette and I head over to her hostel… Hostels are great ways to travel, it’s homey and cheap. The rooms have bunk beds and basically you rent a bunk and there is a communal kitchen and living room… We take pictures with the beautiful white Camero and say our goodbyes.

I get home and hear my son’s upset about what that other son of mine’s opinion is about me, him, us, etc. I share with Dallen what that amazing new friend of mine shared with me. Hearing her message helped him as much as it had helped me.

Shortly thereafter, our buddy Jeff shows up to say hi and was thinking of hitching back home to Hana. I tell him about my new friend Annette and her new Camero wanting to drive somewhere. The boys got excited and after walking down to the Hostel to holler up to Annette suggesting the idea, she loved the idea of hanging with my boys while I was at work.

In the morning instead of taking the road to Hana, they decided to take the Camera up to the crater and long board down, … I loved it; my new friend from Germany was taking my boys on a fieldtrip and sharing a beautiful ride with them. Boys love nice cars, and that Camera was a pretty one.   

Well, needless to say, my boy went into a sped tuck going 20 miles per hour to take a hair pin… He survived, has received a lot of attention…and… it makes for a GREAT story.

I loved hearing the boys tell the story of their day with my new friend and her cute Germany accent… evidently, Annette dropped the camera and did not catch filming Dallen biting it. It is funny hearing them explain how she freaked out like all of us women tend to do upon seeing an accident about to happen.

Before flying out of Maui to head back to Germany, Annette stopped by to say one last goodbye. Before leaving she gave me once again a very powerful message that Dallen and I both needed to hear. It was spooky crazy how familiar I felt with someone I just met who has come from so far away. It was sad to see her go, and alarmingly so every time I think of her. Who knows what our connection is, in the whole picture of all knowing? Whatever it is, it had a strong pull.

Every day in Maui is an amazing one. I love all the people I meet. Whether they are visiting or residents to stay, everyone here in Maui takes such great care of me and my family.  Every day is magical having the universe, source, spirit, God, etc.  sending messengers at such divine moments.
