Aloha!


It is with great pride that I create this page.

In a time when American citizens were comfortable in their lives, and felt that no one could touch their world; the tragedies of September 11, 2001 occurred and literally rocked our lives. Americans no longer felt the contentment they once knew.

In an effort to express, carry on, emote, get through it all, and pick up their pieces, many Americans, like me, flocked to their websites and to the internet to express themselves.

In this case, I went to a posting board, for the first time ever, to read about how other American citizens were responding to the
"Attack on America".

I read a lot.

As I read, I saw a post that was different.
I went to the website.

I saw a dedication page and the music playing was a .midi of "Proud to be an American". I had the original in .wav format so I emailed the site owner and sent the song.

Little did we know how symbolic this chance email would be.

I on the East Coast and she in Hawaii, could not have been at more opposite ends of the
United States.

There is a line in the song that says,
"From the Lakes of Minnesota to the Hills of Tennessee".
In our communication we learned that I am from Minnesota and she is from Tennessee.

America United could not have been expressed so boldly and whole-heartedly as it was in our chance encounter.

Visit her site now.

Remember, you will be leaving "Other Realms" and will need to use your back browser to return. Though you just may find a link to me as Angel Kamalani spreads "Aloha" around the world.
This is for you, my dear friend.
