Here's a lovely Hawaiian word you may have never heard before. It's ho'omaha. It means to rest or take a break. My summer trips to Hawaii are not only for surfing. My visits are reminders that slowing down is not wasted time. Every morning greets you with a gentle breeze. Every sunset asks you to pause. Ho'omaha is a reminder that you don't always have to be in a hurry. It may mean a warm memory of your growing up years. It may be a peaceful morning brew at Zippy's. It may be the sand between your toes.
These small pauses can help travelers return to the mainland with a refreshed and more grateful heart. Your ho'omaha may not be Hawaii. But wherever it is, may it help your heart feel rested, my friend.
