Not Perfection

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Pursue excellence Not perfection In service to fulfillment.
No grand design, Not perfect art, Just honest effort From the heart. At our best Our souls will keep, That flame of passion, Pure and Deep.
Cloudia Charters



Our diversity is our strength.
Our unity is our power.
Nancy Pelosi




Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing flawlessly.
Robert Schuller 


Sometimes, doing nothing is the best thing you can do!

Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia

    ...when I was in business, I found that perfection wasn't a money maker, pretty good was!

    I love your poem and the picture of what I think is an oni mask??? Pixie is a Taoist master of the art of wuwei (acting by doing nothing).

    The hanging lobster claw is amazing! Nature is beautiful.
    The song Sunny brought back memories. I could still sing along to it. It was very popular in its day and had several cover versions but this one is the one I like (I assume it is the original).
    Have a lovely weekend,
    Lisca
