mahalo

Kelli, Kawika, Kanai, Kauka, Kristine, Lavache and all of you who attended these workshops, mahalo.

I began to realize yesterday and today that the great lesson that I'm learning these days is the value of sharing. A word I used to hate, because it seemed that those who shared the most took responsibility afterward for the least when it came to actually getting something done themselves. However, I have seen those folks listed above share and also take responsibility. Not in a compulsive manner, but in a Hawaiian manner that actually got things done. We are more "together" than we were when we started, and start we have, on the road to defining these academies. I have a lot to learn about this style of process, but your examples both help and inspire me .... mahalo to you all...
