One of my cousins on my paternal MAUI side just gave birth to her first baby. She named him Nalu.Nalu as in"Wave, surf; full of waves; to form waves; wavy, as wood grain" orTo ponder, meditate, reflect, mull over, speculate."Pupuka o ia! Though a perfect name as in succinct and TO THE POINT LOLFor those who know it fits perfectly with our Maui line LOL As in Paia, Kaupo, Hana, and Lahaina. Maui people are STRONG people and do not take crap from anyone. Same for Moku o Keawe people too (LOL) Fortunately my maternal side is from Moku o Keawe while my paternal side is from Maui which can be good... or bad depending which side one stands on as in either my good side... or my bad side LOLWell just last month I RANDOMLY discussed our mo'okuauhau with my cousin. I asked her if she knew because I do not assume that people do not know. I do not insult their intelligence unlike some people LMAOI think that when I told her what I told her the name NALU came to her which I think is SO COOL LOLI didn't make any suggestions nor did I say "Nalu." I just asked her if she knew our paternal mo'okuauhau then bam. (Her father is my father's brother.)I actually told her and her two sisters because I didn't know if they know and since they have children (Hana and Hokulani) I wanted the kids to know that they are SPECIAL as ALL oiwi children are SPECIAL in some way --- despite what some stupid and/or lame people try to imply LOLNALU!!!!He hapa Hawaiian.I love the inoa and 1) I live along a lake 2) One of my offices is along a BEACH and 3) I have a pool so I am ALWAYS near water. I love it.BTW I replanted more veggies in my veggie gardens: Eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, zucchini, yellow squash, collard greens, hot peppers, basil, oregano, cilantro, etc. I have some dry lo'i too. When I have time I will try to post some pics but it may be awhile. (I am replanting/replenishing two of my raised bed veggie gardens this weekend.)BTW my younger brother added to his tats. I have four and he has about 12 LOLBTW some people continue to look at me and ask me for help (offline.) Even with serving on boards. My husband knows that I do not like or want to serve on any boards because of politics which brings out the best and the WORST in people LOL Every time I say I do not want to get involved some people ask me for help. WTH LOLBTW I have two more pending deals which means that I can send another check to one of my OIWI-based causes that I believe in soon. In one of my tag lines even though I do not write it in English LOL it is succinct: "The branches grow because of the trunk. "" --> "Without our ancestors, we would not be here."So many good things. So many blessings --- ESPECIALLY the very recent birth of baby Nalu!Latahs!P.S. I am not reposting his picture here but for those on my Facebook his picture is on my wall. It is a baby mana thing LOL Perhaps when he is about five years old I may post his baby pictures but I do not post recent pictures of children. For example pictures of my nieces and nephew that I post are at least four years old lmao
