Pepeekeo, Hawaii
I feel like I experience acts of kindness quite frequently,
as it is not so random here in Hawaii,
but more baked into everyday life.
We call it Aloha, and you see it everywhere.
The man at the beach who gave me lemons and an avocado.
The post office worker who held my misaddressed mail.
The neighbor who fixed my tire without ever introducing himself.
It’s not heroic.
It’s not loud.
It just is.
I only wish the rest of the world could experience the same Aloha we do here in Hawaii.
You see it everywhere.
- What's your Superhero name and what powers do you have?
Above & Beyond! I have the power to help people see the beauty and love and connectedness that is all around them
- If you had $10,000 to give away, how would you use it for most impact?
I would pay for a group of young native Hawaiians who have never left the Big Island to tour all of the islands and learn about their history and culture.
“Sometimes, aloha arrives in the most unexpected envelopes, +7,000 miles apart.”
