Aloha [ah-loh-hah], meaning much more than just "hello" or "goodbye." It’s a way of living and treating others with love, compassion, and respect. Aloha reminds us to share kindness, care for our community, and live in harmony with those around us. Let’s carry the spirit of aloha in all we do and take care of one another! 🌺
Shaka [shah-kah], meaning "hang loose" or "aloha spirit." It's more than just a gesture—it's a way of life that embodies kindness, gratitude, and unity. The shaka reminds us to approach life with an open heart, take it easy, and show respect to everyone around us. Let’s embrace the spirit of aloha and take care of each other, together! 🤙
