aloha7Aloha āwakea e Hauʻoli lā Pōʻakolu oukou.  Aloha mai no, aloha aku; ō kā huhu ka mea e ola ʻole ai.  Ō kā maluhia no me ʻoe.

Good day and Happy Wednesday, everyone.  When love is given, love should be returned; anger is the thing that gives no life. Hawaiians understood the transforming power of aloha.  Love begets love, and enmity produces enmity.  Anger only serves to hurt the angry, causing emotional upset, which impairs mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.  Peace be with you.

Aloha kākahiaka e Hauʻoli lā Pōʻaono nā Kanaka. Aʻia i kā ʻolelo no ke ʻola, aʻia i kā ʻolelo no ka make. Ō kā maluhia no me ʻoe.

Good morning and Happy Saturday, People. In speech is life, in speech is death. In ancient Hawai’i, a kahuna ‘ana’ana could pray someone to death or counter another’s death prayer. The saying tells the Hawaiians that words can either be a source for healing or destroying and so we need to be careful with our words. Peace be with you.

Aloha e Hau’oli la Po’aha. Mai ho’oni i ka wai lana mālie. O ka maluhia no me ‘oe.
 
Greetings and Happy Thursday. “Do Not Disturb the Water That is Tranquil.” When you find yourself not enjoying the peace and quiet of a supposed relaxing day, remind yourself not to interrupt your own peaceful thoughts. It’s not always easy but it sure makes for a refreshed soul when life starts back up again. Peace be with you.
