Butterflies…Such a perfect analogy for transformation, evolving, and change.

Transforming was how I felt 30 years ago as I began to uncover that authentic me.  Slowly emerging, revealing my strength to fly to new horizons. I also recognized the need to acknowledge those who had always been there to support me, which included family, close friends and mentors. One of the first big changes that occurred around that time was that I left a job that was becoming toxic and finally set out to achieve one of my longest standing goals – to complete my college education. I went on to not only complete my Bachelor’s degree, but continued on to achieve my Masters in Communication. Lessons learned along the way…Realize the past no longer holds you captive, embrace the path of joy, and take a leap of faith. 

It was while getting my Master’s degree that the seed was planted for me to write a book. It came in the midst of my son Jacob’s cancer journey in regards to a paper I had written and my professor’s comments that it would be a chapter of a book I would someday write. It was just a seed…

As the years passed that seed was nurtured by my habit of journaling which led to starting my Alaka’i blog, which has grown into this monthly newsletter, along with my Alaka’i website and services. I invite you to explore all that Alaka’i Associates has to offer. As a Subscriber of Alaka’i News, you are eligible for special gifts, monthly giveaways and offers.

This brings me to now, a new time of transformation. You will begin to find new resources, services, and products along with a refreshed look on my website and some of those first resources, such as “A Simple Guide to Self Care.”

You are invited to follow my social media pages for daily inspiration and motivation, as well as special events.

It is good to have an end to journey towards, but it is the journey that matters in the end. ~ Ursula LeGuin
