In Aloha Hawaii Holiday Lei Day May Day Memories Thoughts
Happy Lei Day!!
Posted on Tuesday, May 1, 2018
Even though I'm not in Hawaii, I'll always have the aloha spirit in my heart forever. This is one of my happiest days of the year because its lei day! Childhood memories floods my mind because Lei Day is usually close to our May Day. May Day is a day a celebration with many children and families around Hawaii participate at school. Each grade would perform a musical number, there is a Hawaiian court which the 6th grade class embraces also freshman to Senior classes picks a representative to be part of the High school Royal court. Its pretty cool to keep Hawaiian western traditions alive and well. I do miss those days. I wish the best of luck to all the kids and teenagers in Hawaii good wishes for their performance this week/month. Happy Dancing everyone!!
Happy New Year Everyone!
It's another year and we need to be better than we were last year. Well if you want to make any changes in your life. As for me, I'm going to take one step at a time. I's not that I'm looking forward to something, but just living my life to the best that I can make it. Whatever you're thing is to change this year may you achieve it and live a happier life with family and friends. Have a safe and fun New Year!!
In Gratitude Holiday Photos Spiritual Thoughts
This Holiday Season
Posted on Tuesday, November 28, 2017
Everyone is ready to celebrate the Holidays but sometimes, well most of the time they forget the importance of these special Holidays. From January to December, there are many Holidays that has many meanings that we either forgot or dont care about it as much as others. I cherish the Holidays very much. It reminds me of wonderful memories of my childhood with family and friends. For others its a paid day off. Thats a sad way of thinking if you ask me. I understand everyone has their own lives and way of living. But it really makes me feel sorry for them. Sorry because they are so caught up in work or the world that they dont relax and take a breather to see whats more important in this life, which is to be happy. To have joy in everything that you do. We may not all had wonderful or luxurious up bringing, but there are ways to have joy, to have happiness and have a good life with those who are in your lives. I'm not here to preach or condemn those that work hard or focus on their careers. I'm only saying this to share some light in this dark world. I have learned throughout my life that you can't always have your way. You can't be cruel to others. You can't dictate others lives, You can't force or make others do things they dont want.
Life is about learning, living, seeing, expressing, to love, to smile, to find what makes you happy and feel accomplished. Everyday is chance to make something better for you, your spouse, your children, your family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances or even to strangers. There are more to life than having the latest things, technology or money. The poorest of poor people are more humbled and happier than the average person. Why? Because when you dont have much, you tend to be more grateful for what you have than when you dont. Building joy in your life and the lives of others can make a difference. I've seen many wonderful things when people give more, be helpful, humbled, smile more and even bringing laughter to fill the room with real joy. That's where I find the most memorable moments in my life to have those peace, joy, happiness is through experiences with people I care about or others. I'm not saying that you have to do what I said or force yourself to make others happy. I'm saying to find within yourself, what makes you really happy? What matters most? What can you do different or better to make your life better than it was yesterday?
This Holiday season, to whom ever reads this, I hope that you will think deeply about what I have said. Think about how you've been blessed or how you blessed others or how can you bring more joy and happiness into your life more often. May we all do our best to be the best in righteousness. May we fill this world with more light, more love, more peace, more Faith in God and be more supportive for others. Have a wonderful and safe Christmas everyone. And Happy New Years too!
With lots of love,
JayLynn
I'm here at the Hospital just waiting for a family friend who is getting surgery today. She's like a mom to me and I've always admire her. As I sit here waiting, it got me thinking about my mo own mom, who has passed aways 3 years ago. I've hadn't always been the best child, but I've tried my best to listen to my words. She has always had faith in me that I will learn through her examples of Service. I want to do my best to be like her and the Savior. By giving of my time, talents, and service to others will help me become a better person and more Christ like. I'm grateful for my mom and all she has done for me in my life. And grateful to my Savior Jesus Christ for he's Love and sacrifice that I may one day be atoned for my sins. That I may return to my heavenly home worthily to receive my further blessings. Today is one of those reflecting moments of my life that I'm grateful to have done a little service for someone else. May we all give and serve others more!
Even thought so much has been going on with my life, I've never really sat down and write down the things I'm grateful for...well at this point I can't. I want to do so much, like fixing things, going places, eating new foods, meeting new people, have an adventure or even drop out of the map!?! Nothing seems to be coming to plan for me, so what do I do? Look for something else to do that is cheap, affordable, easy and worth doing for nothing. So I'm just writing anything on here to keep my mind open to whatever comes my way. I pray and hope something good comes cause I'm starting to loose it!?! Come what may I guess!?!
Okay its been pretty chill these past 2 years. I've been busy with school and just got a new computer. Since 2009, my older sister and Twin brother moved in with Mika and I. Its a blast. Late nights talking stories, eating out, hanging out away from the house and watching TONS of movies. So as you can tell I've been very busy. So many cool things happened to me. I got a new dslr camera and I've been taking pictures like crazy!?! Now I'm at that stage where I'm trying to make photography more serious yet fun in order for myself to develop my talent to the best of my knowledge. I'm happy that I'm learning and growing in photography. My teachers and friends has helped me along the way and I very grateful because of that. Now its off to broaden my knowledge and continue to develop my true creative identity. <3 ya!!
I'm happy to be me!!! Yep just thought that I should say that cause I have nothing else to write about. Geez...I'm so sily. I pray and hope each of you are having a wonderful life and a happy time with those that you love and care for. Bye!!
In Blessing Priesthood Spiritual Thoughts
A Blessing to start off the New Year!
Posted on Friday, January 2, 2009
To start off the New Year I had the privilege in receiving a Special Blessing by Maikeli Wolfgramm. Just being in the downstairs room at Kat's house with Maikeli, Mika, Shane, Mark, Rudy, Haini, Ray, Stevie & Jason filled my heart with the peace, joy, love, happiness, but most importantly the Spirit of the Lord. How great of a blessing to be performed by my Father-in-Law and having 8 wonderful Priesthood holders being there for a time of spiritual comfort.
As Maikeli began to speak, the Spirit was extremely strong that he was a bit emotional speaking the words which he had felt at that moment. As he continue with the blessing, he had mention something that will touch my heart forever, he said "I'm prompted by the spirit to give you a Special Blessing. A blessing to give unto you to enjoy the blessings of being a Mother, which you will bring children in this life to prepare for the 2ND coming..." For a moment there I just couldn't believe my ears. It was so beyond what I could imagine to hear in a blessing. Well I'm sort of used to hearing talk about spiritual stuff and all, but to make it more direct and personal to me by the spirit, that was totally awesome. The blessing continued on with such touching and uplifting words of encouragement that comforted my soul and my heart in every way. My tears streaming down my face like a broken sink faucet, nose runny, my body quivering with joy and my head felt so heavy that it was going to fall off...but hey it was worth every moment regardless what was going on with me at that time. No matter what life may put in front of me, as long as I'm trying to do well and life my life right, I'll do all that I can to stay as close as I can with the Lord so that I may enjoy my life more but more importantly my life to come. Asked for a blessing when you feel the need to have one.

In Girls Night Out Thanksgiving Thoughts
I had a fun week with my 5 girls...
Posted on Wednesday, December 3, 2008
This past Thanksgiving weekend was a fun and enjoyable time with my 5 nieces, Olimpia, Anessa, Nadira, Alema & Anzehla. Ice blocking was the most exciting and tiring activity we've done. Going down a a steep hill and climbing back up was exhausting. Fun but tiring. Seeing their faces with excitement and fun just lighten my evening and my whole weekend. Doing painting projects, Scripture Jeopardy, American Idol, spin the bottle, "Are you smarter than a 5Th grader and many other games and activities was just sooo fun. I'm glad to have spent my Thanksgiving with them and with Etivise and Mika. How often have each of us spend quality time with the ones we love and the ones that we know but don't know that much. I know for a fact that this Girls Night Out had a big impact on my sister-in-law, Vise. She would tell me how she enjoyed talking to the girls and seeing their individual personality throughout our activities. To me I want each of us who loves and cherish their relationship's with their families or friends, to make an effort to spend more time with them, get to know them more better than you think you did. Trust me it would go along way. May my 7 nieces that came that night have a wonderful life and treasure the moments and memories that will guide and help you along the way.

I love the Gospel for being my one true foundation and I love my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ for creating me both Spiritually and Physically to have the opportunity to live in this dispensation and to be his instrument in whatever may come of me to do. But most importantly, for the sacrifice that Jesus done, in order for me to return back to them one day.
This was the most funest thing for me to do in a long time. Hopefully I could continue on greater and happier things in my life than the bad. My life would only be a mystery to everyone, if they don't take the time to know me for me.
No one in this interesting world is perfect or close to being perfect. We can all say, I'm closer to the Lord than you are or I do work for the people and so forth. But is that the right way to show our "True" love and dedication to those we know. By saying or doing things that may either hurt or kill relationships isn't the right way in letting them learn and grow for themselves. We can only do whats right in our lives for others to take in what may help them. Forcing and dictating other lives won't make us better, it would only lead to failer. We may all just pretend that nothing fase them when hard or easy problems come to them...we need to think smart before saying or making things more or less of a problem. Stay true, stay real to yourselves. There's nothing worst than to "act" or "fake" your way through life. Trust me I've seen to many in my days. I hope many of you "stay real" in all that you do.
In Abuse Childhood Enduring Family Mom Over Come Single Parent Thoughts
Over coming....the fear of another
Posted on Saturday, September 20, 2008
Have you been in a situation so bad that you don't know how to get out? Have you ever feared for your life because of something that happened? Have you ever thought about giving up on life because you either can't handle it or it's just too difficult to bare? How far will you go to do something about it? It's never too late to find help.
I know how it feels to be in a hard and terrifying situation. My childhood has made the biggest impact on my life, because of what I have witness and what I've experienced.
Coming from a single parent household, fear wasn't an option to run away from when trouble hits, only each other. I couldn't bare to see my mother get beat by my biological father. Day and night was the same routine, he would come home from military duty, boss me and my siblings around like we were garbage. Demand my mom to prepare him food when he calls for it, drink 5 cases of beer while watching his kung-fu movies, have his drunken friends pop in and out like lice, just to have a drink. Next he would beat on my mom, when she didn't do anything wrong, just to show off to his military buddies that he's the man and that he's strong. Laughter would be roaring through the house and at the same time cries from frighten children will be soaring because what they are seeing been done to their mother. Blood, tears, anger, pain, and a hard fist was streaming all over my mothers helpless body. No one would stop my father as he continues to beat her over and over again. Dragging her body through the back door and suddenly throwing her into the kiddie pool. Pushing her head down as if she doesn't need to breath. Yelling and screaming to her wet head telling her that she's nothing, in hoping that she would talk back to him so he could beat on her some more. Then the fun for my so called father's friends began to cease. Fear, rage, arguments, fights was all around me. I couldn't do anything, I was only 5 years old. For a moment there I thought my mom was dead, but I soon saw my mom slowly popped her head up as my older sister came to her rescue. With a scared and shaky voice coming from my mom as she rushed towards my sister to protect her, she silently whisper into my sisters ears and said "it's OK, mommy will be alright. Please don't cry, I'll be alright my love." Right there was a moment I will never forget. Each day I pray that we will be out of this hellish hole we called "home". When that day came, my mom was full of joy, not only to be out of a abusive relationship, just the joy of having her little family safe from harm.
Fear is the way of the devil. He only wants you to be damn in misery because he doesn't want anyone to be happy.
By my mothers faith and strength to move on, was the best thing that could ever happen for me and my family. Faith is the way and truth is the light. No matter what may happen in our lives or what has already happened that is bad, we need to turn to the Lord each day for guidance and protection. And he will be there for you each step of the way. I believe that through faith, anything is possible. I am a sure witness of faith, because of my mom. And because of her faith, I'm here living my life through faith and happiness with my eternal companion, Mika. I do love my father, no matter what has happened in the past. The lord gave us a commandment to "Forgive" one another. And by that I shall continue to be strong and close to the Gospel.
Do you remember when you had your first real conversation with someone you really liked? Do you remember when you had your first fancy meal with that special someone or a few of your close friends? Do you remember your first concert? Do you remember the first music album you bought? Do you remember your childhood friend? Do you remember the first time you bought yourself a new pair of shoes or clothes(without your parents consent)? Do you remember saying your first swear word to someone? Do you remember the first time you were rebellious to your parents? Do you remember your first kiss? Do yo remember your first boyfriend/girlfriend? Do you remember when you got married? Do you remember when your first(or all) of your children were born? Do you remember your first real argument? Do you remember the first prayer you gave? Do you remember when you were baptized? Do you remember the feeling you had that special day? Do you remember when you received the Holy Ghost? Do you remember the first time you enter into the Temple? Do you remember when God was with you everyday of you life? These are some questions that we may forget, want to forget or we can't forget. Life is hard when bad things come in and out of our lives, I know I had many. But we just need to sit down for one minute or so and just remember the GOOD things in our lives, to help ourselves to be more closer to each other and especially with the LORD. How often do we remember him in our busy lives? For some it's not often, but there are some who try to keep the Lord with them at all times. We aren't perfect, but we can always try! Remember HIM often in all that you do, and he will ALWAYS remember YOU to!
Oh beautiful moon that shines above me,
whisper what you see;
Tell me how you float so high
of passion which I seek.
Your mystic glow of pure unknown
mesmerize me in which you've shown;
How delicate your gentle beam
shine with every gleam.
In all the matter of which inspired
the light, the glow, the stillness
is my true desire.
