Christmas Sunset 2025

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

There was even a green flash!

When the sun 

slips under and the 

horizon briefly burns green,  

that’s life whispering,  

"You stayed long enough 

to see the magic!" 

A green flash 

is not promised,  

only possible—  

Trust the horizon:  

even when you 

don’t see it,  

 

If you rush the sunset,  

you miss the green flash;  

if you rush your life,  

you miss your 

own becoming.  

A picnic is more than 

eating a meal, 

it is a pleasurable

state of mind. 

  DeeDee Stovel

A cat purring on your lap

is more healing than any

drug in the world,

as the vibrations you

are receiving are of

pure love & contentment.

Off Ramp To A Rainbow

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Sometimes the detour

Is where the

Colors begin, The exit you never

Planned to take.

An off‑ramp

with a rainbow is perhaps a small,

shimmering sign that you are still

on the right road, even if your map

is soft from tears.

Every turn holds

a chance for color if you are willing

to look up,

Pixie & Cloudia

Even if you are weary

from the rain, keep driving. The next bend

might shimmer. The horizon,

might suddenly

laugh in light!

I see so much 

in these young faces:

Innocence, High Hopes

Naivete.

Can't help wishing them well

with their aspirations 

and futures.

Monkey Orchid - See The Monkey?

If you care for an orchid,

It's beauty will reward you.

Petals open.

Fragrance fills your room.

Even delicate things,

Can be beautiful and strong.

Hush and heartbeat 

Light sifts through  

The sky cups it's silence 

Journeying towards blue.

I offer my calm  

This empty bowl,  

Ready to receive 

And play my role.

Cloudia Charters 

I really just want to be

warm yellow light 

that pours over 

everyone I love.

Ten Thousand Days

A L O H A  From

Raise your vibration, Not your tone of voice.. You gain inspiration, For Peace is a choice. Ana Claudia Antunes

To the mind

that is still, the whole universe

surrenders. Lao Tzu

Walking in a winter

wave-derland! ​Sleigh? No thanks.

This girl gang walks

the shoreline. ​ Santa’s favorite helpers

are seaside today. All is calm, all is bright,

all my girls in

Santa hats

That's right!

​

I have not failed.

I have found 10,000

ways that don’t work.

is full of suffering,

it is also full of the

overcoming of it.

May You Have Gladness

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

❤

May you have the gladness of Christmas which is hope; The spirit of Christmas which is peace; The heart of Christmas which is love. Ada V. Hendricks

Remember, 

if Christmas

 isn’t found 

in your heart, 

you won’t find it 

under a tree.

       Charlotte Carpenter

It is Christmas 

every time 

you let God 

love others 

through you.     

          Mother Teresa

It is Christmas 

in the heart 

that puts Christmas 

in the air.

Kindness Freed

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

The kindness that

You set free

Doesn’t vanish

To the wind and sea.

But settles deep

In unseen ground,

where seeds awake

Without a sound.

A smile, a word

A  patient grace—

Will linger far

Beyond this place.

Keep showing up

Let love abide;

Watch the world grow

 Softer by your side.

Cloudia Charters

A smile is the 

light in your window 

that tells others that 

there is a caring,

 sharing person inside.

Denis Waitley

How beautifully 

leaves grow old. 

How full of light 

and color are 

their last days.

           John Burroughs

I decided to fly 

through the air and 

live in the sunlight and 

enjoy life as 

much as I could.

                      Evel Knievel 

 A smile is the lighting 

system of the face. . .

The kindness you give out doesn't disappear. Even if it feels unnoticed or un-returned, your softness makes the world a little lighter. You never know who needed your patience, your smile, or your gentle words, Keep showing up with love. You're planting seeds that will bloom in ways you may never fully see.

Enthralled

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Though we travel the world 

over to find the beautiful, 

we must carry it with us, 

or we find it not.

       Ralph Waldo Emerson

Black-crowned Night Heron

For the unlearned, 

old age is winter; 

for the learned, it is the 

season of the harvest.

            Hasidic saying

The longer I live 

the more beautiful 

life becomes.

Frank Lloyd Wright

Allow yourself to 

become enthralled 

once in a while.

I went down the street

to the 24-hour grocery.

When I got there, the guy

was locking the front door.

I said, 'Hey, the sign says

you're open 24 hours.'

He said, 'Yes, but

not in a row.'
