Hau’oli Makahiki Hou,
Hip Hapa Homeez! That’s HAPA (happy) New Year in Hawaiian. Although it’s a
little early to send you that greeting, we at Watermelon Sushi World are
participating in Shiwasu.
A Japanese custom, Shiwasu is when we finish out the old year to begin a new one. In other words; we clear our bodies, minds, homes, school lives and/or work environment of negative energies in order to start positively in the new year. It can mean getting rid of an old job that’s gone stale, or even a person who has drained us emotionally.
Here’s more about Shiwasu:
Our focus will still be on multiethnic folks, interracial
relationships, transracial adoptions and those who cross cultures, such as
expats. If you fit one of those categories, please drop us an email and tell us
your story.
The idea is to change what we’ve been doing for so long to
something fresh, although we’ll continue to be active at the following links:

And, don’t forget to join our Hip Hapa Homeez group on Facebook
where we discuss being multiethnic, interracially involved, transracially
adopted and/or crossing cultures.
Finally, mahalo nui loa to all you loyal fans and
followers. Banzai!
Until February 2014 , when we’ll meet again, omedetto
gozaimasu from...
