Happy Aloha Friday! Kuleana is the Hawaiian word meaning: One’s personal sense of Responsibility and Sacred Duty. I have a Kuleana to Maui and the Hawaiian Islands that accepted me with a warm embrace and I was fortunate to call home for many years. As many of you are aware, it has been a very somber week for the Hawaiian Island’s Community as wild fires ravished Maui, decimating the town of Lahaina.   Over 50 people have been killed, thousands of buildings have been destroyed and thousands of locals displaced. Many have lost everything. I know the Spirit of Aloha will prevail, as it has many times when disaster strikes the islands. But, instead of this week’s typical message of motivation and random factoids, I wanted to share a quote and some Hawaiian inspired music tracks as I urge you to review one of the ways to support Maui below and (if it is within your means) donate to those impacted.
