Wednesday Morning Coffee on Maui - 11/13/13

Aloha & Good Morning!

Maui weather today is a little different then I tell you each week.  It's been raining here!!!   Today's forecast shows thunderstorms and a high of 79 degrees!  We continue to have a high surf advisory.  So, if you are on Maui, BE SAFE!

Today is World Kindness Day. But, how do you celebrate it? The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation has one suggestion. "For one day, keep every negative thought, frustration or complaint to yourself and only share your positive comments with others."  I am really touched by the feelings surrounding this day and people all over the World participating in a day of LOVE and RESPECT, so I thought I'd share "Wikipedia's" description of it:  Click Here

As the holiday's get closer I cannot help but stop and take pause in all the ways that we are so blessed.  It is also the time of the year that many people are thinking of giving back and helping our fellow man (or woman!) where we can.  Today's newsletter is about what we have been doing this past week to give of our time and love, where we can.

Last week Windermere Valley Isle Properties served an early Thanksgiving dinner at the homeless shelter in Wailuku.  My family joined my office to help feed 75 people.  It was so beautiful and rewarding to stand at the door and say aloha and greet every person that entered.  They are such grateful people and we were honored to be able to do this.  In fact, we scheduled another dinner in December!

 

My beautiful Broker, Sherry Llanes and I invited the businesses of Paia to bring their non-perishable food items to our office for the Maui Food Bank.  If you are on Maui and wish to help, we will have this barrel at our office through Thanksgiving- so please come drop something off for hungry people.  It is heartbreaking to hear that the Food Bank is very short of food and we really want to fill this barrel up for them, so PLEASE HELP!

I wish you all a fabulous World Kindness Day and hope this gets your day moving in a grateful way!

Warmest aloha to you all,

Deb
