Alaka’i is a Hawaiian word that means “to lead or guide. It embodies the qualities of leadership, guidance, and wisdom, and reflects a value system where others serve their community with compassion and integrity.

I am here to share my words and my resilience to help others heal, grow, and feel whole – in body, mind, and spirit. Through writing and wellness, I create spaces where people feel safe to reconnect with themselves, each other, and something greater. I walk this path with compassion, presence, and purpose – guided by love.

Mentor.

With its origins in Greek mythology, where Odysseus leaves his son Telemachus with his friend Mentor to teach him while Odysseus was away fighting and then Athena snatching him away, you might not know where to start to identify what a mentor really is.

Today’s mentors are much less intimidating as they are simply the people you admire and who are willing to help you chart a course that is right for you. You can have mentors for both personal and professional development. One of the most important qualities of a good mentor is one who knows how to listen well and will not simply tell you what to do or what you want to hear. Also, mentors are meant for a “season of time” not a lifetime, although the impact they have on you may last forever. Mentors are often seen as needing to be a decade older – and that certainly helps with life experience – but I have had a couple of younger mentors who have been equally important to the course of my life experience. How do you know when you have found a mentor? It can be after a concerted search effort or as simple as finding that person, who while having coffee together, you just click. That person whose advice and counsel help you find clarity on your personal journey.

In this photo is one of my favorite mentors. Our relationship began as student and teacher when I was in the ninth grade. It then evolved into a friendship and I came to recognize the true meaning of mentor. She has always helped me see my own unique voice and place in this world. This is truly a gift of a lifetime. Thank you, Mary! 💞
