Puuhonua O Honaunau-Be Forgiven At The City Of Refuge On The Big Island
In Hawaii, on the Big Island just south of Kona is the City of Refuge, known as Puuhonua O Honaunau. In ancient times, Puuhonua O Honaunau was the place where those who had broken laws could go to be forgiven and to avoid death. Today, it’s a place where people go to ponder what needs to be released in their lives. Seeking Forgiveness At Puuhonua O Honaunau While it used to be the place that people went for a second chance at life, I think when we ask for forgiveness from others and truly forgive others and ourselves, we give ourselves a second chance at life, too.

Be Astonished By The Magical Hawaiian Ko Olina Lagoons
When I first heard about the man-made Ko Olina Lagoons, which are surrounded by resorts, I wasn’t inclined to go. I usually prefer the natural beaches, those that are wild and untamed, away from the resorts and other people. But, my desire was to explore every inch of Oahu, the Hawaiian island, they are located on, so I went. And, not only was I glad that I went, I was completely astonished. There are four lagoons which really spotlight the incredible raw beauty of Hawaii. If you enter Ko Olina lagoons at Lagoon #1, you might become a little turned off. It’s filled with paddle boards, floaties, kids, and kayaks, and…
