A Father’s Heart & Haiku

Aloha my fellow hula sisters and brothers,

I just wanted to share with you my father’s thoughts on the Honolulu Share Da Aloha; as you all know we were blessed to have him with us on the trip…

For those who didn’t know, my father is an accomplished and published writer, and he writes, amongst other things, haiku (incessantly)! I get my love of reading and writing from him. (:  He has been an ardent and loyal supporter of my praise hula dancing since I started at first with Cottonwood, then with Saddleback, and now once again, back with the original team from Cottonwood.

And so this Father’s Day, I just wanted to share a little bit of his heart with all of you. You are all so special to me and to my father. (I copied this from his Facebook posting under his Notes). 

Happy Father’s Day Daddy!

Love,
Lorna

Share da Aloha

Last week, I was with my daughter Lorna and their church hula team, IN HIS NAME – I KONA INOA Hula Ministry to attend the Share da Aloha conference in Honolulu. Not by design, I’m sure, but our Hula Ministry was housed in Hula Street. At the front, side and back of the house were several flowers, mostly orchids, a gorgeous feast for my eyes.

Share da Aloha is annual event shared by different church groups coming from different places all over the US. The idea started in Saddleback Church, Lake Forest, California,  about eight years ago. It is not meant to be for competition, but the sharing of dance and music for the Lord. IN HIS NAME, of Cottonwood, Los Alamitos, California  dances at hospitals, convalescent homes, prisons, and churches. Coming back,
