Hope, Wonders

Aloha Friend-


Sing Along With Today's Song Choice!



Looking out my back window.
What will today bring?



“The story of my life is about back entrances,

side doors, secret elevators

and other ways of getting in and out of places

so that people won't bother me.”


Greta Garbo











AH!













Palestinian President Abbas, & Israel's Netanyahu at the White House
Best Wishes-
We hope for peace between the cousins!


"Cultivating a close, warm-hearted feeling for others
automatically puts the mind at ease.
It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have
and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter.
It is the ultimate source of success in life."

Dalai Lama


On our own we glitter….TOGETHER WE SHINE!

  4. I love the peace message, but I find that my favorite part of this post is the picture of the surfing pug. Who can fight when they are basking in that image?

    Your photo of the palm, with all the colors and natural light, make it look like the official Gay Pride Palm! Just look, I think it's got all the right colors. Another sign that God and Mother Nature want all people to be respected. DrumMajor
