Spread a Little Aloha Around the World!

Every night at 10 o'clock  if you ever wanted to find my Grandma Zola you would be able to catch her watching the channel 11  news, she did this for years every night before she went to bed.  Each time I sat next to her and watched, I flelt myself cringing as I began to feel a stream of fear flow into my veins.  I looked at this world and saw abductions, serial killers and wars.  Everything was about stealing, killing, lying, cheating, dying and it provoked fear into my heart.  It was to make you believe you couldn't trust anyone around you and make you feel as if you were never able to truly be safe.   

I remember as a kid I was scared to walk my dog at night because I thought I might either be eaten by a mountain lion or kidnapped by someone in a big van, never to be seen again. 

Every where I go I hear of how perverted and wicked this world is.  I  do agree that we should not dismiss the tragedy that strikes in the lives of those on this earth,we should be aware of reality, bad things do happen.  BUT we need not forget that there is still good.  I believe in order to make the world a better place we need to see the good and then be the good.  

When we are always focussing on the horrors and misfortunes in this life we forget to open our eyes and see all the beauty this world has toffer.  This really is a beautiful world that we live in, filled with beautiful amazing people.  I know for me when I recognize the good in the world I am brought to a place a peace and comfort.  

I lived in Hawaii for a few years while I was attending school.  One weekend for my best friends birthday we were able to go to the Disney Resort on the island.  In the morning when we woke up we got to be around this beautiful hawaiian lady as she sang "A-L-O-H-A, the best way to live the Hawaiian way, spread a little aloha around the world!" I know this came from a little song tucked on the corner on a island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean but this has stuck with me!  It has been years but I can still hear her singing  the words in my ears.  I keep reflecting on the phrase, "spread a little Aloha around the world"  Spread a little love, spread a little cheer, spread a little bit of your brightness of hope.  I hope from this blog I am able to allow others to see the beauty in the world around us!  I want to highlight the strong mothers, the hard working fathers, the underdog.  I want to display kindness emulated when no one was looking.  I want to show the unsung heroes of the world, the people who keep this world a float.  

When I look at the news I don't always want to hear about the tragedy that befalls are society, I want to hear about the accomplishments, courage and sought after dreams that have been attained.  I want to see how truly beautiful this world really is.
