The Year Ignites With Fresh Delights

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Kiss of sun and breath of rain,
The year's first rainbow
Joins the game
Where hope with
color intertwines,
With dreams reborn
on sunlight's vines.

For in this arc,
so briefly bright,
The year ignites,
with fresh delights.


Waikiki whispers,
First steps on
sun-kissed sand today,
Aloha Spirit calls.





California Quail
The stories we tell ourselves
about ourselves become
the truths of ourselves.
But we can change them!


Covey Of Quail

Our view of events and

of ourselves can evolve.
Begin to discern a new
story about yourself,
then tell it to yourself
- SING it to yourself -
every day!




California Memories, Marin 2016
Inhale the calm,
exhale the strife, This simple solace, the gift of life.

〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜

Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia

    Pixie is so fortunate to have lived in Marin County and Honolulu! No wonder so beautiful.
