Kaʻana i kāu aloha: Share your Aloha

November 6, 2019

I’ve had several reminders lately, of how good it can be to return to one’s basic essentials, and the clear intention of sharing the spirit of Aloha is unquestionably one of mine; it feels good and right to bring 2019 to it’s conclusion with ALOHA as our Ho‘ohana Community value immersion for the months of […]

Huddles, Values and the Work Ethic we Value

August 17, 2013

Huddle up, and Talk Story.
