Thank you to all the beautiful souls who shared their inspirational suggestions for naming my Goddess. It was an absolute delight to read through all the messages on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and in private messages and emails. I really appreciate you all for taking the time to write to me, thank you. My heart is full of gratitude.

I truly loved every single name, each one was befitting of the Goddess; however I could only choose one.

The name I have chosen is “Lailani” gifted by Julia Getty from Hawaii.

What the name Lailani is representative of - is new growth, new life, and a new start which was what I was feeling deeply while painting the Goddess. Julia’s words below really spoke to my heart and soul. Thank you Julia for this beautiful and heart felt name -it warms my heart to name my Goddess Lailani and to name the painting “Dancing to the song of the earth beneath our feet"

Lailani, pronounce( lay-la- knee) means beautiful flower in Hawaiian. It is representative of new growth, new life, and a new start. Relevant now in the rebuilding of Lahaina after the devastating fires. One day the land will experience verdant regrowth , and lush green valleys will be returned with beautiful tropical flowers again. Already we have seen our beloved big banyan tree, sprouting green leaves and healing more every day. The sprouting of plants and flowers , signifies pure hope to me, that life does indeed go on .”- Julia Getty

Thank you once again to everyone for participating - sending love and gratitude and wishing you a beautiful and enchanting Spring full of love, laughter, good health and an abundant joy-filled days with our Sacred Mother Earth.
