Happy Monday

A L O H A !




" With the power of our attention 
alone,
we can transform each moment,
each relationship,
in the same way alchemists
tried to turn lead
into gold. "

David Servan-Schreiber








" Pray not for crutches,
but for wings! " 

Phillips Brooks













" Happiness resides not in possessions,
 and not in gold, 
happiness dwells
 in the soul. "

Democritus
