See it at the Aloha Theatre in Kainaliu Sunday, October 7th and Monday, October 8th.
It’s worthwhile to see…it’s like a fire under the tail. I went last night with Talia ( www.livinghealthydaily.com ) and Greg. I to see organizations like the NRDC (National Resource Defense Council) represented. I’m particularly sensitive to imagery so I was a little concerned about exposing myself to footage of environmental pollution and destruction. I was relieved that toward the end of the movie “What Can I do About it?” was addressed by a few experts.
Also, the importance of recognizing the outer world is a reflection of the inner world, so as an individual the biggest thing you can do is be aware of how your energy (thoughts, actions) affect the greater whole. Pay attention to life in each moment. Take time to connect with nature. People stood outside the theater afterwards and talked about the movie and shared ideas and thoughts. It was cool – it got us all talking anyway! One girl (Monica from Kona Natural Foods) suggested that buying and eating less packaged food is a good place to begin for those of us that can’t afford to buy a Hybrid car and build a green/sustainable house right now.
Anyway, it’s part of the overall call going on right now – STEP UP, each one and all.
Thank you!
The amount of estrogen in the room was intoxicating 
Bravo to the brave men that were there representing the testosterone contingent! A special shout-out to the 3 men that were dancing with the 50 women grooving to Paula, as she crooned with her reggae band until 10:15 pm.
I got there a bit late with my crew, Emily, Talia, Lulie and Isaiah. Climbing PoeTree, a conscious spokenword duo from Brooklyn, comprised to hottie girls Alixa and Naima (and I mean DAMN hot) were already performing when we got in the door. Due to rain the event was moved indoors.
We all gravitated toward the “front row” (standing room only), plopped our asses down and got a serious mental, spiritual and physical work-over as these girls articulated profound, moving Truth. Showcasing awesome stage presence, these girls were shredding our mental notions and concepts, while reminding us of our enormous blessing to live here in Hawaii, Paradise. I thought to myself – these chicks have a paradise of artistic expression inside themselves! Perhaps that’s one effect of living on a street with only 5 trees – one develops the capacity for a new world from within.
A reminder to all to be Thankful you live in Hawaii, don’t become complacent, use the blessing of constant communion with nature to inspire yourselves. Reach out to your brothers and sisters around the world and be a part of the revolution now.

Next we were treated to Sparlha Swa, also from Brooklyn, singing with a voice like the deepest, richest, tastiest chocolate bar you ever had. Gorgeous woman. While she has her own unique sound and voice, I’m sure she’s already experienced being compared to India Arie. Her songs were deep, soulful, thoughtful, a real treat. I thought it’d be nice to have her as my mother, singing me the sweetest lullabies ever. I knew I’d want to listen to her again and again, so I bought her CD.

Paula, in a beautiful pale yellow dress designed by Kealopiko Designs, looked like a Hawaiian Goddess, a True Queen. And she rocked it. She’s got an incredible voice, I wanna compare her strength to Aretha Franklin, though the style of music is different.
For me personally, it was an emotional night. I laughed, I cried, I danced to the rhythm of the high-hat. I left feeling uplifted, inspired and eternally grateful to the awesomeness of Paula Fuga and the Lilikoi Foundation.
Some women from the South Kona community will be attending this fair…I hope you all can make it down to celebrate life and goodness…Visit Paula’s Myspace at www.myspace.com/paulafuga
