Hau’oli aloha Po’akolu

crocus-JapaneseAloha kakahiaka a me na Hau’oli aloha Po’akolu oukou … E ho mai, aloha mai, e ho mai e.  Ho’omana’o i ola Pono.

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

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.)
