The Whole Playground

Aloha From Honolulu!


When we give ourselves
compassion, we are
opening our hearts
in a way that can
transform our lives.
Kristin Neff




The truth is, it takes a village to get through the tough stuff in life. It doesn't have to be a big village but we all need people to help hold us up when life, loss and grief knock us down.
Michelle Divine 




Rainbow Mural was the World's Tallest Mosaic when it was completed in 1968. Designed by the iconic Millard Sheets. Actually, two mosaics adorn opposite sides of the Hilton Hawaiian Village’s 31-story Rainbow Tower. They measure 286 feet high by 26 feet wide, originally consisting of more than 16,000 hand-painted ceramic tiles. Link




On a bad day, 
I have mood swings - 
but on a good day, I have 
the whole mood playground.     
  Charles Rosenblum

Love You,

Happiness cannot be
traveled to, owned,
earned, worn 
or consumed. 
Happiness is the 
spiritual experience 
of living every minute with 
love, grace and gratitude.
