Here she’s beautifully dancing our Samoan “Taualuga” which is our cultures traditional and highly respected dance. Customary to throw money as I did at my mom – and my dance, “Aiuli” is a sign of respect and pride – and then stand back let her be the main focus and attention. (we let our youngest daughter throw fake money 💴😂) I often use the word MANA when describing energy and emotions .This is mana. You feel it. Happy Birthday Mom. We love you and we’re so grateful you were born. Cheeeehooo!!!”
