The Thrill of Work

March 3, 2021

Preface: We’ve been “sheltering in place” for most of the past year, due to the Covid19 pandemic. The layoffs and business shutdowns which affected so many hit home for our family in mid March, 2020. My husband headed back to work this week, albeit a temporary, no idea for how long kind of work schedule. […]

Rapid Fire Learning: 65, I know

April 24, 2019

Preface: One of the ‘elders’ in our Ho‘ohana Community is an ‘Ike loa learning habit, a month-end practice we named Rapid Fire Learning (RFL). It starts as a private journaling practice, handwritten for self-reflection and can be much shorter, or longer, than what follows: I’ve opted to post an excerpt of my own RFL this […]

Ho‘ohana: The Founder’s Mindset

January 25, 2019

In studying leaders and the values which drive them, I’ve found that there is a striking difference between founder owners, and most business executives: In short, it’s the passion and purpose which drives them—it’s their Ho‘ohana, their intention connection to worthwhile work.

January 20, 2019

Sense of Place: It’s January, the month of resolutions, goal-setting, and life’s way finding. In a recent newsletter, I shared this with the Ho‘ohana Community; Two Choices: The Change I Choose.

Sunday Mālama: Stretching your 8 Hours

July 16, 2017

When Samuel Gompers, who led the labor group that organized this particular iteration of the 8-hour movement, was asked, “What does labor want?” he responded, “It wants the earth and the fullness thereof.” And to me it seems significant that it’s not 8 hours of, say, “leisure” or “education,” but “8 hours of what we […]

Ho‘okipa, Time, and Attention.

June 21, 2017

I pulled up to one of our Hawai‘i Island resort hotels the other day, to valet park my car. The parking valets were out parking the cars of those who had arrived before me, leaving only the doorman to welcome me. That ‘welcome’ however, never happened. Oh, he did approach my car. He opened the […]
