Cultivating goodwill 

isn't just about 

giving to others

—it's about giving 

to yourself, too. 

When we treat ourselves 

with kindness, we create 

a benevolent mindset that 

fuels our ability to spread joy 

and connection to 

those around us.

Kristin Neff

We all need fresh starts. That's why the sun comes up everyday. A. Nony Mouse

 Do not be afraid of defeat.

 you are never 

so near victory 

as when  defeated 

in a good cause.

Henry Ward Beecher

 Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. Mark Twain

Pliable Is Growing

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Grateful hearts truly love. 

Grateful hands reach out. 

Grateful eyes see generations. 

Grateful minds imagine big ideas 

like justice, peace, and health. 

Our world needs no less 

than grateful living.

Katie Steedly Curling

Nothing we learn 

in this world is 

ever wasted.

Eleanor Roosevelt

See the shadow eater?

Experiencing new things 

is the best way to keep the 

mind young, pliable and growing

— into our 80s, 90s and beyond.

Daniel J. Levitin

Neuroscientist and author 

Small background smile

I pledge to care

To be aware But I promise myself Never to despair. Though shadows may whisper And storms may declare Threats to unsettle To shake, rend, and tear—

Yet I stay in the center My roots planted there.

A L O H A  From

Find a place

where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain. Joseph Campbell

There is no envy,

jealousy, or hatred

between the different

colors of the rainbow.

And no fear either.

Because each one exists

to make the others’ love

more beautiful. Aberjhani

What Matters: People

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Every day one should

at least hear one little song,

read one good poem,

see one fine painting and

-- if at all possible --

speak a few

sensible words.

Goethe

These single-wall Hawaii bungalows

are a beautiful aspect of our

local built environment. I love

these little Hale

("Hah - Lay" - Hawaiian word

for a house/home) Link

When storms descend 

and shadows fall,

We stand together, 

one and all

Hands joined tightly, 

hearts beat strong

Showing kindness 

is where we belong

Comfort flows 

like gentle light

Healing hearts, 

making futures bright

In darkness, 

we'll hold hope's true song

Helping those affected

To get along.

Pixie

There is always something 

to be grateful for, even 

when life is hard and 

times are tough.

Hate leaves ugly scars,

Love leaves beautiful ones.

The world turns

on the prayers of crones, That follow grandchildren

wherever they roam. During the most dangerous

times of their life, Grannies' angels are there,

isn't that nice!

There is a strong shadow

where there is much light.

                    Goethe

Any authentic creation

is a gift to the future.

Find something 

you’re passionate about 

and keep tremendously 

interested in it.

          Julia Child

In the mind's quiet 

release the weight,  

Let go of the shadows

That others create.  

In this space

where freedom sings

Angels whisper

Of wondrous things.  

Embrace the moment

Let ease unfold,  

In every heartbeat

stories are told.

No longer chained

By others' strife

I set my soul

Ablaze with life!

Aging is an extraordinary

process where you become

the person you always

should have been.
