[IMPORTANT READ] Mahalo nui loa! I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who has already joined Loke’s Hale of Inspiration. 🌺 We are all on the same canoe, my late husband Bruddah Kei would say...everyone called him Bruddah Kei because they could not say his name, Keihanaikukauakahihulihe'ekahauanele Together, the goal is simple… As our island goes through the changes with many of our local people unable to afford to live here and move away. At the same time, the people moving here do not know yet the local ways and how we live as us and we. We need to create a space that feels like a home, like on Bruddah Kei and my lanai where everyone were welcome to share kaukau and talk story. Or like how we did old time days at the boat ramp at Honaunau where my hanai Bruddah Johnny Mahoe Cho had his picnic table where he fed everyone and we all listened to each other's stories. A place where we all can share what is happening in our world and how we can kokua, we all can collaborate and inspire each other to Kui I Kanu'u, strive for the highest. A place where people can come to slow down, reconnect, and experience the beauty of life through the lens of us and we. This is more than a group. It is a feeling.A rhythm.A return to what matters. Think of this space as your daily exhale. Our online picnic table next to the ocean. A place where you can step away from the noise and reconnect with something deeper—through nature, reflection, and the art of noticing. What you'll experience in this community where locals can be locals • Moments of beauty inspired by Hawaii 🌊 • Gentle reminders to slow down and be present 🌿 • Reflections that shift perspective and bring clarity 💫 • A supportive space where you can simply be 🤍 Together we’re building a community of people who want to live more intentionally, notice more deeply, and feel more connected. With that in mind, this is our first main focus as a group: 🔥 Practice the art of maka'ala, observing your environment in everyday life
