A Hawaiian flower. Beautiful, fragrant, gentle, full of warmth, life and positive energy; product of their tropical environment. Kanoi love adventure, excitement and freedom. Kanoi are clever, quick-witted and unusually adaptable. Kanoi are seekers of knowledge, observant, intuitive, and conscious. Kanoi believes in walking the Earth gently and touching all she comes in contact with with love and care. Kanoi are sometimes overlooked, but below the surface are gems of the rarest quality. Kanoi ate givers by nature, givers of positive energy, love, support, and of their selves. Kanoi are capable of doing anything they wish for.
