Life is full of beauty.
Notice it. Notice the
bumble bee, the small child,
and the smiling faces.
Smell the rain, and
feel the wind. Live
your life to the fullest
potential, and fight
for your dreams.
Ashley Smith

If you look the right way,
you can see that
the whole world
is a garden.
Frances Hodgson Burnett

Each person you meet is an aspect of yourself, clamoring for love. Eric Micha'el Leventhal

I want to take 
all our best moments, 
put them in a jar, and 
take them out like cookies 
and savor each one 
of them forever.

Magic is believing in yourself.
If you can do that, you can
make anything happen.

All the statistics

in the world

can’t measure the

warmth of a smile.

Chris Hart

Day by day

what you choose

what you think

and what you do,

is who you

become.

Heraclitus

If what I say 

resonates with you, 

it is merely because we 

are both branches 

on the same tree.

Like A Cat

A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

May I craft my life As a Heavenly Island, In the archipelago Of kindly souls. Where gentle waves Of compassion lap At the sandy shores

of love.

Sometimes Big waves thunder An earthquake Under my feet. But breezes whisper wisdom And the air Is fresh and sweet

In this tranquil haven Love will be the sun, Warming hearts and giving strength for the work that must be done. Cloudia Charters

Don't explain
your philosophy.
Embody it.
                        Epictetus

15 Cents was before my time

but the orange juice,

and the breakfast

were a real treat

after a night of work in

my father's janitorial business.

Quiet Bell

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

A good feeling is trying 

to break back in. 

Insinuating itself, to  

make itself at home.

I will make it welcome.

Then together we can 

face whatever comes up. 

  Pixie

Happiness is not 

a matter of intensity 

but of balance, order, 

rhythm and harmony.

   Thomas Merton

Gratitude  

O quiet bell  

echo my valleys 

With all that's 

gone well.  

Let me rest here,  

In golden sun

cradled atop 

the mountain  

Of all that I've become.

             Cloudia Charters

On our own we glitter…

TOGETHER WE SHINE!

No Amount

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

When an artist dies,
God lets them
paint the sky to
say their goodbye.
Anonymous Folk Saying

Just to be alive
In good health, 
without mishaps, 
Is far more precious 
And brings 
greater happiness 
Than all the wealth 
in the world.
Mokichi Okada

No amount of regret
changes the past.
No amount of anxiety
changes the future.
But any amount of gratitude
changes the present.

As each day arises,

welcome it as the

very best day of all, and

make it your own possession.

We must seize what flees.

Seneca

Breathe deeply, dear soul

Just let your worries fade,

Embrace the mysteries

of life, unafraid.

A cheerful frame of mind, reinforced by relaxation... is the medicine that puts all ghosts of fear on the run. George Matthew Adams

You are not the darkness you endured. You are the light that refused to surrender. John Mark Green

We can suffer

and sing

at the same time.

 In fact, we must.

Dr. Jaiya John
