And, Rosa, what a generous demonstration of how you act out each of these values every day here on this blog: aloha, hospitality, inclusiveness, acting with intent, learning, persistence, thankfulness, leadership, integrity, mission focused, etc!
Aloha Hanna, and thank you so much for this comment. I do appreciate your kindness :)
Truth is, you all are writing such good stuff I feel compelled to share it! Not to mention that the value of our Ho’ohana Community takes a lot of pressure off me.
You all bring so much truth to this:
