I love the Hawaiian word ALOHA, especially after learning about the deeper meaning of Aloha. Next to aloha, there is another Hawaiian word that I truly like, and that is KOKUA. To me, Kokua means “aloha in action” . And here’s what the dictionary says about it:

I have been very busy lately (actually not just lately but almost always). There are many events, projects and activities on Maui that I want to write about to show my KOKUA. The thing is I can’t find the time to focus and write a full post for each of them (this busy working mama’s plate is full).
However, these events, projects and activities are all with a good cause and I will feel bad if I neglect to share them with you. So I am just going to lump them all together here on this post and hope that you will be able to attend and support at least one, better yet all these.

I feel like you, Liza. I’ve been very busy too! Happy to start the new year with a bang but also not able to contribute my time to all the wonderful kokua events. My gifts will go out in other ways…
Interesting, I didn’t know that’s what Kokua meant. Aloha in action, I’ll definitely have to remember that. By the way, Happy 2013.
