Members here have graciously given their support and kind words to myself and Omni..
Here >2009 Hawaiian 'Membrane' of the Year
However......
It did not take much thought ..
the "Mana" we share in the Islands makes us what we are.. Omni..Palani ,.. myself,.. and others who started me here,..and some that log in on occasion.
We are all united and as ONE.. there is no second place nor first .. I look at Omni as my Kupuna "Elder" and Palani as another kindred spirit.
"Mana" .... here is the English definitional of the word.. it holds much more meaning when used in the context of Hawaii (for me)
In Polynesian culture (for example, Hawaiian and Māori), mana is a spiritual quality considered to have supernatural origin
