Aloha dear Thea~ I am grateful to you once more.. this time for letting me ride on the sea turtles' back with you.. Mona's paintings & the song were perfect ways to carry me forward. May I also learn the grace of carrying my home with me ~ 🙏

Beautiful, powerful story, Thea! What a brave journey that was, and such amazing revelations.

I love the sea turtles and saw many in my snorkeling and kayaking days on Maui in the mid-80's. I lived there for only 7 years, but long enough to fall in love with so much and to reclaim my feminine spirit with the help of Mama Ocean. Thank you for the remembrance and for your story.

Thank you Anyaa. You have helped so many over the years in so many ways by recovering your feminine spirit. I wish you could see Mona’s life size paintings of the turtles - she really captured the spirit of my journey which took place in 1987. So we were both there in the 80s! Powerful times and place.
