Aloha Joe in Hawaii's Photography Set To Ziggy Marley's "A Beach in Hawaii"
Aloha Joe in Hawaii's Photography
set to the music of
Ziggy Marley's
"A Beach in Hawaii"
I bought the song on iTunes and took all of the photos.
Mahalo for watching the video. I hope you enjoy.
Double click the video for fullscreen.
I saw Ziggy Marley play at the 4th and B in San Diego,
during his "Love is My Religion" tour.
I stood right at his feet for hours and listening to him sing.
It was the first time that I had ever heard words like that before.
I felt hopeful and alive.
I wanted to hug someone, sing, and dance all at the same time.
Now here we are again these years later.
Aloha Joe and Ziggy Marley. Well, he doesn't know yet.
I purchased the song on iTunes and took the photos and made the video.
It would warm my heart for Ziggy to know how he has continued to
help me throughout my life, to inspire to be love.
Many thanks Ziggy!
Aloha!

Go Hawaii - Aloha Joe and the Big Island
Go Hawaii
has ALLOT of great information
for vistitors to the Hawaiian Islands.
I personally love the Big Island and Maui,
but every Hawaiian Islands is beautiful
and unique in its own way.
Out of the existing 13 micro-climates
on the face of the earth,
11 of them can be found on
the Big Island!
The Golf Capitol of the Hawaiian Islands
also happens to be the Big Island.
The Hamaku Waterfalls along Hawaii's
coastline are equally spectacular.
You can also visit Volcano National Park
or swim with Manta Rays in Kona!
Hawaii is waiting for you!
Aloha

"Aloha Joe in Hawaii" will be in print by the end of the weekend!
"Aloha Joe in Hawaii"
My Journey of self discovery and Hawaiian adventure
will be on Amazon soon, in paperback.
I went with an 8X10 format because it reduces
the total number of pages printed.
It is a thin book, but it came out great!
At a more standard format of 5.5X8.5 the book
would have cost over $15 just to produce as a
print on demand. I want to charge as little as possible
to pass the savings on to my friends and
family around the world.
family around the world.
photos to the print version that were not in the
kindle or epub versions. Also, all of the photos
are much larger and of a higher quality.
It will be great to see my dream
of being a published author,
realized in print!

We want Hawaii Electric Light Company (HELCO) to stop its contract for new geothermal development on the Island of Hawaii, because the contract was excluded from the utility company's recent public planning effort, and previous geothermal sites on this island have been notoriously unsafe, unclean, and poorly regulated.

Joshua Lambus Bike MS and The National MS Society of Hawaii
The National MS Society of Hawaii
Please help my friend, Mr. Joshua Lambus
raise funds for the National MS Society of Hawaii.
Josh said:
"Why I Chose to Participate in Bike MS:
Every hour of every day, someone is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. That's why I've registered for Bike MS. Bike MS is a ride (not a race) that connects friends, families and co-workers. Each mile we ride brings us closer to a world free of MS."
Mahalo for your time and consideration!

"Aloha Joe in Hawaii - A guided journey of self discovery and Hawaiian adventure" is now on Amazon as a kindle book
Aloha Joe in Hawaii
A guided journey of self discovery and Hawaiian adventure
Has been released today on Amazon.
"Aloha Joe in Hawaii" the book - is now ready for world wide distribution!
ALOHA!
My name is Joe.
I have recently finished my first book
about the Big Island of Hawaii.
"Vivid and touching, Aloha Joe in Hawaii is a rare type of book
that not only educates, but also moves."
that not only educates, but also moves."
Any Subject Books
"This book is the sunny and inspiring tale of someone who refuses to be defeated by the adversities in his life. Scarred by a childhood of abuse, by injury and trauma as a Sergeant in the U.S. Marines and by a totally fortuitous hit-and-run accident, he finally takes his life into his own hands and moves to the 'Big Island' of Hawaii which has a reputation for offering a healing lifestyle.
Immersed in a jungle environment where geckos are his companions and he can forage for fruit every day to make his breakfast smoothies, he gradually slows to the pace of island life. He abandons tv, and instead listens to the sound of the rain on the roof. He learns how to greet and be greeted according to the beautiful customs of the island's inhabitants, enjoys local food and allows serendipity to guide him.
Joe's book is not just an account of his own life experiences. He is at the same time imparting his attractive and compelling philosophy of life which might be summarized in his words:
"Give yourself permission to live the life that you have always wanted to live."
It may mean selling your possessions and moving to the place of your dreams to engage in a simple way of life, but following your heart is more important than anything else."

I live with Aloha in my heart and life gets better every day.
May you live with peace and at ease.
