Life is beautiful, it's fascinating - listening to someone's joys and struggles in their life
I loved the way she weaved in the waves of life with the waves of the ocean!
One of the best talks I ever heard. The presenter makes it look so easy and effortless to be calm and wise, but at the same time talk about these deeply personal issues of mental and physical health. All that uniquely intertwined with the passion for ocean, its healing power and other people’s discoveries on this topic. To look this natural, calm, detailed, and unique, it truly takes a life-time of experience, bravery and hard work! Bravo!
I love your perspective and your comparison with the ocean and our bodies. 💗
Thank you, Sachi. That was wonderful.
This talk, obviously give new perspective for me.
The Notth shore on Oahu is something else.
Truly Amazing. Thank you for sharing your struggles and your survival and courage in this life with us. Keep going.
Aloha Sachi. 🌊🐬🙏🏼

If you think I'm deceiving you, imagine if you gave me the amount you gave, it would be gone, there would be nothing left, and I would die. God will hold me accountable for everything I have done in this world through deception. And do not think that every Muslim woman, dear, who refused to show herself in a video may deceive you. No, this is generally wrong, my brother. May God forgive you for everything you did to me.....
