Independence

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!

“ To overcome the anxieties 

and depressions of 

contemporary life, 

individuals must become

 independent of the 

social environment to 

the degree that they 

no longer respond exclusively

 in terms of its 

rewards and punishments. -

" To achieve such autonomy,

 a person has to learn

 to provide rewards 

to herself. -

- She has to develop the ability 

to find enjoyment and 

purpose regardless 

of external 

circumstances.” 

                   Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

We keep trying,

Seize Be Endure

A  L  O  H  A   from  Honolulu!

" Seize the moments

 of happiness, love 

and be loved!

 That is the only reality 

in the world,

 all else is folly. "

                          Tolstoy

" What it means to be authentic:

- to be more concerned with truth than opinions

- to be sincere and not pretend

- to be free from hypocrisy: "walk your talk"

- to know who you are and to be that person

- to not fear others seeing your vulnerabilities

- being confident to walk away from

 situations where you can't be yourself

- being awake to your own feelings

- being free from others' opinions of you

- accepting and loving yourself "

                                    Sue Fitzmaurice

“The beauty of a woman. . .

 true beauty in a Woman

 is reflected in her soul.

 It is the caring that 

she lovingly gives, 

the passion that she knows. 

And the beauty 

of a woman, 

with passing years

 only grows!” 

                Audrey Hepburn
