 A  L  O  H  A

Honolulu


The number 1 predictor 

of a long Life is

the number of positive 

social connections

you have.

 Wendy Suzuki, PhD





People with stronger 
social relationships 
have a 50% stronger 
chance of survival
across every age, sex, 
and health status.
   Holt-Lunstad, Smith
and Layton.




Perhaps the secret 
of living well is not in 
having all the answers 
but in pursuing 
unanswerable questions 
in good company.

"Large Ohia Lehua Pattern on Blue" 
 by the design studio HNLdesigns

The lehua is the first tree

that springs up from a

recent lava flow.

It’s for that reason,

when we speak in Hawaiian

and we speak of people who are

 skilled, strong, and beloved,

they’re often referred to as

pua lehua, or lehua flowers.

They, like the lehua, have a

kind of resilience, a strength and

 a grace about them.
