Aloha, Global Village Kailua ʻOhana!
2024 flew by, and we want to take a moment to reflect on the year—the highs, the challenges, and the lessons we’ve learned. 2024 was a year of growth, both personally and as a family-owned business, and while we didn’t accomplish everything we set out to do, we ended the year with gratitude and a renewed sense of purpose.
At the start of the year, we had big plans and good intentions to expand our offerings, create more content, and connect with you in new ways. We developed new products and collections, explored new platforms like YouTube and Pinterest, and continued sharing on Instagram and Facebook. While we made strides, life brought unexpected challenges that required us to shift our focus.
This year reminded us of the importance of family and balance. When our beloved aunt fell ill and passed away, we prioritized spending time with loved ones. Balancing personal life with the demands of creating content proved more challenging than we anticipated. By mid-year, we realized we needed to adjust our priorities to care for ourselves and our family.
Although we didn’t meet all our goals, we’re proud of the growth and learning we achieved. We’ve come to appreciate what matters most: family, friendships, and finding happiness in the journey. Your support has meant the world to us, and we’re so grateful for your understanding as we navigated this year’s challenges.
Looking ahead to 2025, we’re focused on finding balance and creating joy—for ourselves and for you. We want to continue improving our products and offerings, reconnecting with our creativity, and moving forward at a sustainable pace. Above all, our wish for you is happiness and moments of connection that bring aloha into your life.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Let’s step into 2025 together, guided by kindness, love, and the aloha spirit.
With gratitude and aloha,
Sharrie, Debbie, and Dawn
