Stuck on Aloha

Notes of Inspiration from Hawai‘i’s WALL

In November 2017, visitors to the Pearl City Shopping Center were greeted by a wall. A wall not meant to separate, but to draw together. A place designed for thoughtful pauses, not to halt journeys. A place where With Aloha, Love Lives. Dubbed the Messages of Life WALL, what started as a modest project took off rapidly. Soon, the wall was awash in a riot of colorful sticky notes bearing messages of faith, hope, longing, despair, courage, laughter and love. Compiled by MyPearlCity.com community manager Barry Villamil, Stuck on Aloha showcases more than a dozen exceptional individuals and hundreds of notes that convey the heartfelt aloha found at the WALL.

“It is its own kind of social media, a collective conscience where people choose their words carefully and wish the best for one another.”
– Lee Cataluna, Honolulu Star-Advertiser
