Ho`okipa (hoh-oh-KEE-pah): The concept of hospitality is common to many cultures, but many people feel that Ho`okipa is different because of its broad meaning. Ho`okipa is meant to be given freely to all, and is not reserved for friends, neighbors or family. When a person is on the receiving end of ho`okipa, it is like receiving a tremendous gift.

Aloha (AH-loh-hah): Aloha means hello, love, mercy, compassion, pity, or goodbye. More importantly, it is an expression of the heart.

It is much deeper than this actually and I will provide more information on the meaning of Aloha soon. My husband and I are driving down the mountain soon to have dinner with family near Wailea.

To all our ohana and friends
Mahalo nui for your kindness.
Aloha e Malama pono, Sharon
