Aloha from Sunny Hawaii! Did you know Hawaii has some of the healthiest residents in the United States—and the longest lived? Wonder why? I’ll post some thoughts about that from time to time. So, if you’re interested in all the aspects of prosperity—mental, financial, emotional, and physical—this is a blog to check frequently.
I’ve lived in Hawaii most of my life—my family moved here from Indiana when I was just a little girl – hanabada time, we call it here. (I won’t gross you out with the direct translation, but it relates to the frequent colds of young children.)
My husband is from Kansas City, and we met while he was stationed at Pearl Harbor. Although we lived on the mainland for about 8 years, most of our children were born in Hawaii–and they all grew up here.
I’ll also put up some interesting facts about the 50th State to keep things interesting. For instance, did you know that Hawaii is the only State with a Palace that was occupied by a reigning monarch? Yep, Iolani Palace was built and occupied by King David Kalakaua. It was later occupied by his sister, Queen Lydia Liliuokalani–the last Queen of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
