Key to the Whole Thing

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

The key is to
keep company only
with people who uplift you, 
whose presence calls
forth your best.
Epictetus

Getting to know a
diverse group of people 
leads to a better 
understanding of yourself.
Alexander Den Heijer






It is your reaction
to adversity,
not the adversity itself,
that determines how
your life story will develop.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf




Now tenderness whispers A different refrain Where connection is key And empathy reigns.

  14. There is a reason Mom avoids negative people without even thinking about it. They drag everyone down. Positivity is a much better thing to spread.
