No matter where life takes you, the beauty of home is that it lives within your memories and remains in your heart so you are never far away.  Home is more than a place; it’s a feeling.  It’s not until you leave home that you really learn to appreciate it and its magnificence.   

Hawai‘i…my heart…my soul…my home.

Hawai'i My Home

Wahi Pana (Special Legendary Place)

Everyone has a wahi pana.  A place that’s dear to you.  It’s a place where you will always carry in your heart no matter where life takes you. Possibly it’s a place where you’ve had your childhood memories or a place where you exchanged vows with a love one.  Hawai‘i Island is my wahi pana.  The breath taking beauty and spirit of aloha will always continue to grow because it’s our kuleana (responsibility) to preserve, protect and malama (take care) special places for generations to enjoy and one day become their wahi pana.

Wahi Pana (Special Legendary Place)

To kiss; a kiss; formerly, the “Honi” is an ancient Hawaiian greeting in which two people greet each other by meeting foreheads and noses together, inhaling at the same time, hugging and then exhaling.  This honorary greeting represents the exchange of “Ha” –the breath of life, and “Mana”- spiritual power between two people.
