Tapestry TaurusNEW MOON IN TAURUS

May 17, 2015 at 9:13 pm is a new Moon in Taurus. The new Moon and Sun are both in Taurus, a sensual Earth sign ruled by Venus, planet of love, art, and beauty. Taurean Moon and Sun are conjunct Mercury and Mars in early degrees of Gemini. This brings intellectual stimulation, new ideas, inspired creativity, and interesting conversations. But Sun, Moon, and Mars are opposite Saturn to pace yourself and be thorough. Plus Mercury and Mars square Neptune to think before acting on emotions.

MERCURY RETROGRADE

The ability for introspective thought and wise decision making is helped by Mercury retrograde from May 18 until June 11. Mercury is comfortable in rulership sign Gemini so you can cover much ground. Use these three weeks to get organized in preparation for the next new Moon on June 16 that begins Horse month, a time for action. Call…

I didn’t initially mean to make biscuits this small, I just happened to grab the wrong sized ring and decided to go with it.  But now I absolutely love these tiny little biscuits!  They are perfect to serve with butter and fresh jam at breakfast or as the perfect soup topping.  Or, if you are looking for the mini version of some of your favorite dishes, how about mini breakfast slider sandwiches or mini biscuits and gravy.  I even joked to Amelia that this would be the next supermodel fad – 100 calorie mini sandwiches.

Aloha Spirit ~ Fundraising for the film, “Why The Mountain”

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

This is a fundraising (GoFundMe campaign) to raise funds and awareness about the situation that is NASA’s proposed build-out of a Thirty-Meter Telescope (“TMT”) in conjunction with the University of Hawai’i on Mauna Kea Volcano … a site sacred to the Hawai’ian people.  The film is entitled, “Why The Mountain.”

Please support this effort … because it’s not just about the Mountain, it’s about the Land and the reality that the real universe to be explored is contained WITHIN THE HEART.  If you’ve been reading this website, you already know what is meant by this statement.  This is Hawai’ian … it is all about Aloha Spirit.

WE ARE MAUNA KEA!

Aloha Spirit ~ Ho’okuleana

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tribal-kanaka-maoli-flag-chris-macdonaldHo‘okuleana – it’s an action word; it means, “to take responsibility.” Hawai’ians view it as our individual and collective responsibility to:

Participate … rather than ignore;
Prevent … rather than react and
Preserve … rather than degrade.

This is not really a program, it is an attitude we want people to share. The world is changing; let’s work together to change it for the better.

Aloha Spirit ~ Kūmū Hīna, ‘Ikaikā Wāhine

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi Lanakila1 Comment

Kūmū HinaKūmū Hīna tells the inspiring story of Hīna Wong-Kalu, a transgender hula teacher who brings to life Hawai’i’s traditional embrace of māhū – those who embody both male and female spirit.  Over the course of a year, Hīna inspires a young student to claim her place as leader of an all-male hula troupe, while Hīna herself pursues a fulfilling romantic relationship with a headstrong Tongan man.

Alōha Pō’ahu

Hibiscus Pink PistilAlōha kakāhiāka e nā hoa ē a hau’ōli alōha Pō’ahu ouko’u. Ka mea nana i hana. I lā nani nou. Ō kā maluhia no me oe.

Good morning to you, my friends, and a happy Aloha Thursday to you all. You are the Creator of all things you look-to. Enjoy this beautiful day. Peace be with you.

——-

“Ka mea nana i hana” is about the creation of the thing looked to. The creator is you! If you maintain a clear kapu (sacred) space — allowing nothing to exist but your own Spirit Greatness and holding only thoughts and feelings that amplify your greatness within your space — then, whatever your heart looks to is what you create. Focus the hana, your personal inner reflective work, on that: it’s your job!

French toast has been a long time favorite of mine.  Even on very sleepy mornings, mom could always get me out of bed with the promise of the fluffy, eggy, spiced toast.  I don’t know what recipe she used (a post for another day perhaps) but here is mine.

4-29-15 059

French Toast

11 eggs
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of salt
Splash of vanilla
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
12-16 pieces of bread

Preheat griddle to medium heat.  In a shallow baking dish whisk together all ingredients, except for whipping cream and bread, until well combined.

Whisk in whipping cream.  Grease griddle with a little butter or cooking spray.  Dredge slices of bread in egg mixture and place on griddle.  Cook for around 2 minutes or until golden on the underside.  Flip and cook for about another 2 minutes.  Serve hot, topped with…

Alōha Lāpule

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

aloha_imuaAloha kakahiaka a hau’oli alōha Lāpule ouko’u. I hoku kia kane ana. Ō kā maluhia no me oe.

Good morning and a happy Aloha Sunday to you all. In the night of the full moon, the pillar of a man reveals it’s measure. Enjoy this beautiful day. Peace be with you.

—-

“I hoku kia kane ana.”
In the night of the full moon, the pillar of a man reveals it’s measure.

**** Ko’u mana’o = Translation of the inner meaning *****

I originally thought hoku was simply star, but found that would require a kahakou over the “o” and “u”. Hoku alone refers to the night of the full moon. If you add a descriptive, such as hoku ili, this refers to what happened this morning, when the moon is still in the sky when the sun has risen (was cool to see btw!)

Kia refers to pillar, post, or pole… hmmm, yup. You got it. But also to concentrate, as in sorcery. I think there are many connections that could be made between these two… I’ll leave it to you!

“Ana” not only means to measure, but to gauge or survey, or die (are we talking about the “little death”? (kka) If you are “ana”, you have had enough, or maybe too much. You are satiated, surfeited … Oh … you want a little more kaona (hidden meaning)? Ana also means cave or grotto.

We have pillars and grottos, in the light of a full moon. Amazing ku (masculine) and hina (feminine) imagery.

Da Morning Malasada Show ~ Sunday, 9:00 a.m. ~ Blog Talk Radio

Today, I’m broadcasting on the air @ 9:00 a.m. PDST!  Listen in to Da Morning Malasada Show at http://tobtr.com/s/7575575. #BlogTalkRadio

RIGHT NOW, in this moment, you will make a choice – to continue listening and discover more about the power of positive affirmations and other techniques that will help you achieve your most desired dreams … or, you can choose to click away in search of something else.

In a way, that is the essence of what a persons life is, the choices they make. You have chosen to read on a little further, and that tells me that you desire something important in your life. Let me tell you now, it does not matter what it is…  great health, the perfect partner, improved prosperity, happiness, success, achievement, greater self-esteem, the courage to successfully face any of life’s challenges, anything… you have the power to accomplish these things.

Are you fed up with repeating the same old patterns from the past, continually sabotaging your future? Do you want to break out of the life you are in now to a new wonderful life where you achieve and experience the life that YOU want? You really can change things, it has worked for thousands before you have and the techniques and ideas here are the same that they used.

Let me give you one powerful truth right now…You only have power in the NOW. The past is gone, it cannot ever be changed and tomorrow is always uncertain. If you want to change your life, choose to start NOW, in this moment, this is the moment of your power, your choice.

Our lives are an outer manifestation of our inner thoughts and ideas. Patterns that have been developed since childhood, behavioural patterns built on behavioural patterns. Our early life experience creates our current behavioural pattern. The techniques I will show you help identify any inappropriate or invalid ideas you may hold and targets them with powerful positive affirmations, implanting new ideas that can support you towards what you want to achieve.

People are you listenin’ to what we’re about to say?
We are on a mission, tryin’ to find a way.

A little aloha in every boy and girl?

with a little aloha in you and me?

Let’s spread a little bit of aloha,
put a little love in your heart,
take a little dip in the ocean.
Ah yeah (ah yeah), uh-huh (uh-huh).

A-L-O-H-A, a little aloha in our day —

and aloha means I love you, and I want to take it higher.
(I want to get high) With a little aloha…
(I can touch the sky) With a little aloha… aloha.

Let’s spread a little bit of aloha,
put a little love in your heart,
take a little dip in the ocean.
Ah yeah (ah yeah), uh-huh (uh-huh).

Discussion ~ John Lash ~ The Sophianic Vision Story Of The Mysteries, 08/25/14

In this episode I speak with John Lash about the origin of the gnostic teachings, how this knowledge suppressed throughout history, how can it relate to, and empower people today, the birth of the archons and the bigger cosmic picture, and how it relates to what is happening today. We also talk about addressing fear and creating from a place of ecstasy. Check this article out for more backround:  http://www.metahistory.org/gnostique/…

Recipe ~ Rosemary and Garlic Sweet Potato Oven Fries

Need something to satisfy your late night french fry craving? Rosemary and Garlic Roasted Sweet Potatoes may be your new favorite late night treat.  I love making sweet potato fries with a chipotle dipping sauce but, late at night I don’t feel like doing all that prep so I came up with something a little simpler. I cut sweet potatoes into wedges instead of a french fry cut and roast them with rosemary and garlic. They ended up having so much flavor so they didn’t even need a dipping sauce. The edges became golden brown and caramelized along with the fresh fresh garlic giving them an incredible flavor that will really satisfy you late at night.

Double Yod Key and other patterns of late April and early May of 2015

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Grandtrines's avatarGrandtrines

The days from April 26th through May 1st of 2015 are pattern rich.  We will likely also discuss more patterns that will occur in early May in another post that covers patterns after May 1st.

We begin with the Double Yod Key (DYK) that starts April 26th and continues through May 1st. This is one of the “longer acting” patterns of this period (we are looking at primarily April 28th through May 1st with some patterns extending on each side of that range).  It colors all of the other patterns we will subsequently discuss.

DYK 2015-04-26 to 05-01

[Click Image to Enlarge]

That pattern tells us that, once again, we are in a pattern of making important decisions. However, as we will note momentarily, this period is about more than decisions. This period is also about action.

A Hele is in play from April 27th to April 29th, and that tells us that people…

6-12 026

Crepes
1 3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon sugar
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon rum, cognac or vanilla extract
Two eggs +2 egg yolks
2/3 cup flour
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

Whisk together milk eggs, egg yolks, sugar, salt and rum/cognac/vanilla. Sift flour into the wet mixture. Whisk until smooth then whisk in melted, unsalted butter.

Pre-heat a skillet or comal to medium heat. Pour a little bit of the batter onto the comal or pan and distribute batter evenly by swirling pan around. Cook on one side for around a minute to a minute and a half or until the under side begins to brown. Carefully flip crepe over and cook for another minute to minute and a half.
