Which Will Change

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Every Positive Thought
Is A Silent Prayer Which
Will Change Your Life.
Bryant McGill



The joy we feel has little
to do with the circumstances
of our lives and everything to
do with the focus of our lives.
Russell M. Nelson




You are the one that
possesses the key
to your being.
You carry the passport
to your own happiness.

When the power of love
overcomes the love of power,
the world will know peace.

This Is Precisely The Time

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Walk on a rainbow trail;
walk on a trail of song, and all about you
will be beauty. There is a way out
of every dark mist, over a rainbow trail. Andra Davis



This is precisely the time
when artists go to work.
There is no time for despair,
no place for self-pity,
no need for silence,
no room for fear.
We speak, we write,
we do language.
That is how civilizations heal.
  Toni Morrison






 If you see the world in black and white, you're missing important grey matter. Jack Fyock


Now we dare To see the light, In every dark And weary night.

In holy mirth
We'll find the key,
To set good hearts
And spirits free.

Cloudia Charters

Where Flowers Bloom

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Normal day, let me be
aware of the treasure you are.
Let me learn from you,
love you, savor you, bless you
before you depart. Let me not
pass you by in quest of some
rare and perfect tomorrow.
Mary Jean Irion


Where flowers bloom
so does hope.
  Lady Bird Johnson



Your contributions are greater

than you probably realize. What you do has
positive impacts that
you may never
see or know. 
   Chere Clark






In the face
of stormy skies,
I choose to smile
not shut my eyes.
When shadows loom
And threaten near,
Let's create hope
Manufacturing cheer.
Each knowing chuckle
Builds a bridge so strong
It carries us
Where we belong.
From sorrow's soil
Joy can grow
Secret garden
No one knows.
Let's plant our dreams
In this troubled ground,
Raising laughter's
Healing sound.
Cloudia Charters




I make the most
of all that comes
and the least
of all that goes. 
Sara Teasdale

Hatred Has Not Won

A L O H A From Honolulu!


You are more powerful than you know; you are beautiful just as you are. Melissa Etheridge




As long as the hearts of
decent people are still beating,
hope lives. Put your hand
on your chest right now
and be reminded:
hatred hasn’t won.
John Pavlovitz






Gratitude as a discipline
involves a conscious choice.
I can choose to be grateful
even when my emotions and
feelings are still steeped in
hurt and resentment.
Henri Nouwen







I'd rather have a heart of gold Than all the treasure of the world. Ana Claudia Antunes

In youth we learn,

Just The Place

A L O H A From Honolulu!

When you get into a tight place
and everything
goes against you,
till it seems as though
you could not
hang on a minute longer,
never give up then, for
that is just the place and
time that the tide will turn.
    Harriet Beecher Stowe





Nothing is inherently and
invincibly young except spirit.
And spirit can enter a
human being perhaps better
 in the quiet of old age and dwell
there more undisturbed
than in the turmoil of adventure. 
     George Santayana





Because of your smile, 
you make life more beautiful.
Thich Nhat Hanh


Share your smile with the world. 
It’s a symbol of friendship and peace.
Christie Brinkley





I survive by finding the 
sweet spot between 
reason and unreason, 
between the rational 
and irrational.
Dean Koontz




I love those who can
smile in trouble.
     Leonardo da Vinci

Just

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A life of abundance does not
mean a life of accumulating,
but instead developing a
spiritual sense of awe at
the limitlessness of it all.
Wayne Dyer




There is no need to run,
strive, search or struggle.
Just be. Just being
in the moment in
this place is the
deepest practice
of meditation.
  Thich Nhat Hanh




Motivation is the art 
of getting people to do 
what you want them to do 
because they want to do it.
 Dwight Eisenhower





Resistance isn't just
Marches and shouts, But a quiet inner strength When all the world doubts.
Pixie
