He thinks I see the missed steps, the nerves, the pressure…
But what I actually see is heart, growth, and legacy.

From 5 years old to 15… every practice, every callous, every late night, every chant learned — all leading here.
Your second year on the stage at the Merrie Monarch Festival, dancing in honor of Kumu Leināʻala Pavao Jardin and celebrating your new Kumu, Breeze Ann Kalehuaonalani Vidinha Pavao…

You may think I see perfection.
But what I actually see is faith, dedication, humility, strength, and the boy who has grown into a young man through hula.

Dancing for an audience of 1, now 2, to worship the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! (Matthew 6:33)

Always proud. Always watching with tears in my eyes.
That’s what I actually see. 🌺
