MOON CALENDARS

LESLI WAS GIVEN THE NAME MAHEALANI IN A DREAM WHEN SHE WAS LIVING ON THE ISLAND OF MAUI. SHE WAS TOLD BY HER HAWAIIAN FRIENDS THAT IS HOW NAMES ARE GIVEN, & IT MEANT THE FULLEST BLOSSOMING OF THE MOON. TRADITIONALLY HAWAIIANS WENT BY A LUNAR CALENDAR, WITH A NAME FOR EVERY MOON PHASE.

RAISED IN TEXAS, LESLI WAS SHY ABOUT GOING BY MAHEALANI AT FIRST, BUT SOON SHE HAD THOSE SAME FRIENDS REFERRING TO HER BY THAT NAME, AND PITCHING IN TO GIFT HER A TRADITIONAL HAWAIIAN BRACELET WITH HER NEW NAME. SOON AFTER SHE FELT CALLED BACK HOME TO TEXAS. NOT ONLY HAD MAUI GIVEN HER MAHEALANI, IT ALSO GAVE HER A DESIRE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE LAND WHERE SHE CAME FROM BACK IN TEXAS.

SHE BEGAN TO DEEJAY WHEN SHE CAME BACK HOME, & IT MADE SENSE TO GO BY THE NAME THAT MAUI GAVE HER. DJ MAHEALANI WAS BORN. SHE BEGAN TO DESIGN AND GIVE AWAY FREE MOON CALENDARS EVERY YEAR AS AN OFFERING TO HER COMMUNITY, A WAY TO PAY FORWARD THE GIFT SHE WAS GIVEN. IT DIDN’T TAKE LONG FOR HER TO SEE HOW THE NEW MOON WAS A RECORD IN THE SKY THAT SPINS & WAXES TO IT’S FULLEST BLOSSOMING,
