Thanksgiving in Hawaii…

At the very beginning of this year, we held an all day meeting of our Brokers and Agents where we named everything that we’re grateful for about living in Hawaii. That list is still very present for us today, it’s what we’re all about. It keeps us ‘real’, and it helps us to be liaisons to the Hawaii Life.

As the holiday season is upon us, I think of that list again (the full list is at the bottom). We’re grateful for you, our blog readers, customers, and clients. Be safe, cherish your ohana, the ohana, and the ocean, and…

Here’s (some of) the full list from our January meeting:

Warm weather – Outdoor living – Mangoes and papayas – Beaches – Peace and security – Health – Scenery and beauty – Bird songs – Community – Golf – Tennis – Fishing (mahi & ahi) – Values: people & family – Low maintenance wardrobe – Sunsets and full moons – Rainbows – Whales and turtles – Relaxed lifestyle – Vacation is minutes away – Adventure – Warm Water – Good surf – Relaxed Government – Local Culture – Spirit of Aloha – Hawaii Life – Good rain, fertile soil – Good food – Ethical Realtors – Homegrown food – Wonderful people I meet & friendships I build – Waterfalls – Beautiful Beaches – Rainbow – Sashimi – Hawaiian Humor – Pidgin – Laid back – Good food – Low crime – Rural Landscape – Small Towns – Low Taxes – Easy to be successful -Relatively close distances – Little Traffic – Great Musicians – Good place to raise children – Good Hunting – Hiking – Kayaking – Windsurfing – Kite Surfing – Snorkeling – Trade winds – U.S. laws and money – Clean water – Pau hanas – Farmer’s Markets – North Shore – Na Pali – Polihale – Mahaulepu – Kokee – Berry Flats – Hanapepe – Waimea Canyon – Awapuhi Trail – Kalalau – Pakalas – Hideaways – Tunnels – Middles – Diving – Kalbi – Sushi – Spam Musubi – Moonbows – Monk Seals – Secret’s – Orchids – Dolphins – Slack Key – Ukulele – Kalua Pork – Malasadas – Avocados – Plumerias – Antheriums – Hula – Camping – Luau’s – Catamaran’s – Hanakapi’ai – Pineapple – Talk Story – Ho’okipa

Matt – this is the core value reason that I sold my own brokerage to join Hawaii Life. This list and that meeting. I love my Hawaii Life and am so incredible grateful and honored and humbled and excited to be part of such a real, progressive and professional team that clearly loves Hawaii and their Hawaii Life. Thank YOU for making it all possible for me. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your ‘ohana. (I have the day off tomorrow, right? hee.) šŸ˜‰

Having grown up here, I’m also greatful for the business model of Hawaii Life, which incorporates new & innovative technology, yet embraces why we all love to live Hawaii. Having spent the majority of my career at two of the nation’s largest franchise brokerages, I know Hawaii Life is the right fit for me as well! Our clients continue to embrace & be excited about what we have to offer. Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m thankful for wearing shorts in wintertime and getting to spend time with family.

I love the focus on living in gratitude…not just as a holiday, but a way of life.

One of the things I love best about living in Hawaii is that every day at least one of the things on this list sends me into awe and gratitude. Is Paradise the place where every day is Thanksgiving day?
