Aloha, studio fans—
Happy New Year 2025! I’ve stored away 90 percent of the Christmas decorations, which didn’t take long because for this holiday DH and I went “minimalist”—just two artificial trees that we took down in less than 10 minutes! There are only a couple of gifts to give very belatedly to friends who we will see for dinner in a few days.
My affirmation for the new year is to write my Facebook posts in ʻŌlelo ʻŌiwi, the Hawaiian language. I remembered the reason I began Hawaiian classes six years ago was that I wanted to understand what my Hawaiian-speaking friends were writing! And, after all, the State of Hawai’i has two official languages—Hawaiian and English. Bank checks may be written in Hawaiian, and the courts of law allow it to be spoken.
So, it’s not just an affirmation. It’s a challenge to myself. Stay tuned! You may subscribe to this blog, and then if you don’t like it you may unsubscribe.
As always, be well.
