Aloha Borino, this is a great list! They relate so wonderfully to the Hawaiian values I teach people about in that they relate in simple, straight-forward ways.

I had to smile when I read the part about singing along out loud … it was something I used to absolutely love when my kids were younger and I’d drive them to school: their singing sure brightened up my day.
