A  L  O  H  A !

It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. 

I am strongly in favor of common sense, 

common honesty, and common decency.

This makes me forever ineligible 

for public office.

    H. L. Mencken

Examine what is said, 

not him who speaks.

   Arab Proverb

Pause.

Breathe.

3 Deep Grateful Breaths.

Repeat

throughout the day!

Night, when words 

fade and 

things come alive. 

When the destructive 

analysis of day is done, 

and all that is 

truly important 

becomes whole 

and sound again. 

When man reassembles 

his fragmentary self 

and grows 

with the calm of a tree.

Transforming Your World

A  L  O  H  A !

Perhaps the feelings 

that we experience 

when we are in love 

represent a normal state. 

Being in love shows a person 

who he should be. 

   Anton Chekhov

If we choose to actively seek out 

information that challenges our 

assumptions and beliefs, perhaps 

we can begin to understand 

where the people who 

disagree with us 

are coming from.

           Barack Obama

The moment you have in your heart 

this extraordinary thing called love 

and feel the depth, the delight, 

the ecstasy of it, you will discover that 

for you the world is transformed.

If you add your hot passion to the 

cold attitude of another person, 

it becomes lukewarm. 

Don’t stand on the toes of dwarfs; 

stand on the shoulders of giants!

To find extraordinary things,

There is something that is much more scarce, something finer far, something rarer than ability. It is the ability to recognize ability.

Be not angry that you cannot make 

others as you wish them to be,

You don't make a photograph

You bring to the act of photography

Fireworks, Doll, Angel

A  L  O  H  A !

When you meet someone

so different from yourself,

in a good way,

you don’t even have to kiss

to have fireworks go off.

    Lisa Schroeder

Dolls are precious little reflections of joyous light, whose hope is only to delight. I never shoot for perfection or symmetry in doll making. It is our lovely flaws that make us each special.

The rough must always accompany the smooth. Without one or the other

When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing - just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?

Flow with whatever may happen, 

and let your mind be free: 

Stay centered by accepting

This is the ultimate.
