Inspire Happiness.

"He 'ohu ke aloha; a'ohe kauhiwi kau'ole."

Love is like the mist; there is no mountaintop that it does not settle upon.

Love comes to all

-Hawaiian Proverb

So today I have been wracking my brain as to WHAT SHOULD I WRITE??? Seriously scratching my head. So I have decided to do one of those TV episodes where the characters look back at the last season and make funny comments about it. As the season has officially changed... back on the 21st of March... and Sunday is Easter I have decided to do a HAPPYNATHANIEL SEASONAL REVIEW!

Before I go into this review, I'd like to ask you for some help. I need your ideas. I need your questions. What would you like to know about Health? Wellness? Love? Family? Santa? Easter Bunny?

Blog 1 or INSURE MY ASS. Back on January 14th my little Cousin CHELSEA asked me to be her HEALTH AND WELLNESS COACH. I was sick with the flu and laughed until my sore throat couldn't take it. Then I realized she was very serious. So I decided to tackle the big political topic... HEALTH INSURANCE. I am not sure if I have done my cousin any good since then or even if this blog is helping... I like to think it is.

Blog 2 or Eat Happily and Stop Lying to Yourself. In this blog I decided to tackle eating habits and LYING. I believe to largest reason many people FAIL at being HEALTHY is because they ARE NOT TRUTHFUL. I have had people tell me that they are going to eat HEALTHY and then I see less than a month later that they have greasy food, alcoholic drinks and sugary fat-packed deserts PLASTERED all over their INSTAGRAM and FACEBOOK. I will only care AS MUCH as YOU CARE about YOUR HEALTH. There is NOTHING I can do if you INSIST on LYING to yourself and to me. I think I will delve deeper into this topic in the coming weeks.

Blog 3 or Make the Decision. Execute it. Earn it. Make the play. I was SOOOO HAPPY!!! The 49ers had just beat the Falcons 28-24 to go to THE SUPERBOWL. The PATRIOTS... lost to the RAVENS. That also made me pretty happy too. I spoke about the REASON these teams made it to the most COVETED GAME... EVER. Their leaders MADE DECISIONS. The players worked TOGETHER to EXECUTE the PLAY. THEY EARNED IT. I used FOOTBALL to explain how to SUCCEED in what you choose to do in life.

Blog 4 or Sex. Be Safe. Be Honest. Be Positive. On January 24th I decided to do a blog on SEX. I would revisit this later but in this quickie I decided to at least get the ideas out: 1)Be safe and don't Die, 2) Do you want kids?, 3) Be sex positive. Go to the link above for more info.

Blog 5 or I love you. I really start getting a feel for what my blog is really about. Love. Love in general. Love for the people you want in your life... Friends and Family. Love for yourself. The ability to look beyond the bullshit and simply love and be loved. LOVE is meant to be SHARED. I discovered this while writing about my Aunty Bernie. My you and I miss you Aunty.

Blog 6 or I am Thankful.  My Aunty Bernie is loving me and the rest of her family and friends from her garden in heaven.  I love you and I miss you Aunty. When my Aunty passed away I looked past the sadness and found GRATITUDE and APPRECIATION. BE THANKFUL for the people in your life and the time you have with them. You do not know when you will see them again. BE THANKFUL for your life, your body and your soul. It may be the only one your will ever have...

Blog 7 or FOOTBALL. TEAMWORK. This was SUPERBOWL SUNDAY. I talked about what an AMAZING TEAM my cousins Kainoa and Liana are. They are working out as a couple... AS A TEAM! As soon as they hit their SIX MONTH workout anniversary I will do a follow up special on them. I also spoke about why the 49er WERE NOT working as a team... but PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME RELIVE THAT HORRIBLE DAY. Please.

Blog 8 and Blog 9... Eat Me. and I'm starving. These blogs were a few interviews I did with my beautiful COUSINS CHELSEA AND KRISTIAN. They are making the COMMITMENT to EATING HEALTHY! The second blog was an interview with myself. I figured that I could't lay out my Families health problems without facing and talking about my own.

Blog 10 or Happiness. Doggie Style. A blog dedicated to the critters in our lives that bring us happiness and THEIR HEALTH and HAPPINESS.

Blog 11 or Malasada day!!! I got to spend FAT TUESDAY with my FAMILY in Hilo, Hawaii!!! It was an AMAZING TIME filled with crazy Cousins, Grandpas Lumpia and Grandma's AWESOME Malasada Recipe. Fried balls of dough dusted with sugar... ah heaven...

Blog 12 or Sex. That basically explains it. Hit the link for my thoughts on Sex.

Blog 13 or The Family Stubborn. OR Cousin Pili's Three Simple Steps for Getting one's head out of one's Ass.

So... I am going to pick this back up either tomorrow or maybe Sunday and leave you with this recipe I found on Facebook...
