Nā Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Aloha kākahiāka a me nā Hauʻōli aloha Pōʻakōlu ōukōu … Ē ho mai, aloha mai ē ho mai ē.  Hōʻomanāʻo ī ōla Pōnō. Ō kā maluhia nō me ʻoe.

 

Good morning and Happy Aloha Wednesday, everyone.  Bring to me the love of the spirit of aloha.  Remember to live right. Peace be with you.

 

Let’s all remind one another to always “Live pono” (Live right) It is very important when carrying the spirit of aloha within. What we do & what we say can be empowering or endangering in someone’s life. Remember words can never be undone. So really think about what you say before you say it. make sure it’s uplifting & building one’s confidence.  That’s what sharing aloha is all about.  Share aloha, be aloha, live aloha mau loa! (always).  A hui hou apopo, malama pono (until we meet again tomorrow, take care.)

Arnica {Arnica montana}

Arnica has been an important topical healing herb since the 15th century. It is a member of the large and varied Asteraceae, or Composite family, along with sunflowers, daisies, lettuce, and chicory. This perennial herb originated in the mountains of Europe and Siberia and is now widely cultivated in North America.

The plant’s genus name derives from arna, Greek for “lamb,” because of the soft, fleecy hair on its green leaves. It reaches an average height of one to two feet and produces daisy-like yellow-orange flowers that begin to bloom in May.

Nā Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

It bifurcates our attention.

When I’m feeling crazy, I find that an organizational frenzy calms my mind. The more cluttered my mind, the more peace I feel when my environment is harmonious. I feel less stressed when I pick up, clean off, put away (neatly), and get rid of what’s no longer necessary—in the trash, the recycling, or a donation box.  […]
