All ʻŌlelo of the Week

“He pō walea, he ao walea i ka laʻi (A night enjoyed, a day enjoyed). In the fast-pace of our world today, it is easy to get caught up in the grind and forget to remain connected within ourselves. Make time daily to pause, reflect, and nurture your inner peace so that you can be centered and pono (balanced) in your efforts to make Hawaiʻi, and the world, a better place.”

—Kaleikūkamakani Ruiz, Counselor, Leeward Community College
