For me, Thanksgiving these days is less about celebrating the historical dinner, but instead taking time to be grateful for what we have. We have lost so much in the last two years, it is easy to focus on what we don’t have instead of what is right in front of us.
Hau’oli La Ho’omakika’i is pronounced how-oh-lee la ho-o-ma-ee-kah-ee. All the vowels are pronounced.
If you break the phrase down
Hau’oli = happy, glad
Lā = day
Ho’omaika’i= to thank, bless, render thanks
At She Lives Aloha, we will be taking Thursday off, but you can expect that we will be busy filling orders all weekend. Enjoy the holiday with your ohana.
Hawaiian Word of the Week: Ho'onalu

It is no surprise that there are several words and phrases to express going with the flow. We have previously used the shorter version “Nalu”. Ho'onalu is listed as "to form waves.”
Meditation teacher, Jennifer Lynn, paints a picture of HO'ONALU for us. "Ho'onalu is one of the Hawaiian words for meditation. It means literally - 'to make like or be like a wave' more clearly it means 'to go with the flow'.
This upcoming holiday season is going to be one where we all have to go with the flow as our world is still a bit upside down. Be patient with everyone as they navigate these unchartered waters. Be the honu and ride the wave.
