Today at 4:00 p.m. Hawaii time, 6:00 p.m. PST, my friend, Jim Turner, Founder of One by One Media, will be hosting the Haitian Assistance Relief Telethon (#HART) for 24-hours courtesy of WSRadio.com.
I am asking that each of my 1,553 friends on Facebook and 10,411 followers on Twitter donate whatever amount you can afford, but at least $1 using one of the donation What Gives!? widgets below. From my network, I’ve set a goal of $5,000 — together, we can reach this goal!
Listen and watch the show live and call in 1-888-327-0061. I’ll be on at 9:00 p.m. Hawaii time and I’d like to be able to say we’ve reached our goal together! Leave a comment below and I’ll thank you on-air!
Over on the Outrigger Hawaii blog, I did a guest post about how Christmas is celebrated in Hawaii. I share about the changes of seasons that occur on the islands, yes we have them you just need to know how to recognize them. Head on over and read the Season of Ohana.
What are some of your favorite childhood memories that you continue with your own children today? Over on the So Much More Hawaii blog, I shared mine about Ala Moana Beach Park. Take a look at one of the most beautiful views on Oahu.

One of the benefits of being in a new relationship is meeting new people and making new friends. Over the years, one of the persons I’ve met and am priviledged to call my friend is Kanaloa Pantastico. From his smile to his bear hugs to his passion for life, with respect to the Aloha spirit, Kanaloa is the real deal. And, if I had to describe Kanaloa in one word, it would be steadfast.
A proud Campbell High School alum, Kanaloa was the second leading receiver for the OIA Red district during his junior year. Today, he shares his life with his wife Kehau and their four children.
In Polynesian mythology, Kanaloa is one of four major gods and primarily associated with the ocean. And, while my friend continues to move mountains for his wife and children; comes through time and again for his family and friends — he’s steadfastly battling cancer. I have complete faith in Kanaloa, but this fight will require the strength of the entire community.
I invite you for a fundraiser for Kanaloa on Thursday, May 28, 2009 at 4Play in Aiea from 7:30 p.m. till closing. This is an 18-and-over event with a $10 cover charge. Kanamon and his friends will have us skankin’ and groovin’, steppin’ out cancer.
Lilinoe and I put together their slideshow for their wedding in 2007.
