Thanksgiving is this week….but somehow I keep thinking “Wasn’t it just Halloween last week?” But somehow the manawa (pronounced: mah-nah-wah), or time, between Halloween and Thanksgiving somehow continued to move without me really realizing it.
If you have been to Hawaii, you have heard the word “mahalo” (pronounced: mah-hal-loh) before. With this being the week of the Thanksgiving holiday in the US, it is only appropriate to bring back this word because for us at She Lives Aloha, it means everything.

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.
