Enriching Every Encounter

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Whenever I have found 
myself stuck...
I return to nature. 
 It is my 
principal teacher, 
and I try to open 
my whole being 
to what it has to say.
           Wynn Bullock






We are very good judges 
for the mistakes of others, 
but very good defense lawyers 
for our own mistakes.
Nicky Gumbel

In October
any wonderful unexpected
thing might be possible.
Elizabeth George Speare




To believe yourself happy
is to be so;
to believe yourself wise is
to prove you are not.
Sir Francis Bacon

In the 
Hawaiian Language
(Olelo Hawaii)
Mahalo means 
Thank you, 
as a way of life—
gratitude not just 
spoken, but lived, 
enriching every 
encounter with meaning 
and connection.

I love the Sir Francis Bacon quote. Pixie looks like she would like to try those mahalo noodles. I would, too.

Hello,
The first image is lovely. Pretty flower and your Pixie is always a favorite.
Be happy and wise! Take care, have a great day!

These quotes beautifully remind us to stay humble, seek wisdom in nature, and stay open to the quiet lessons life offers in every season.

I sure disagree with Nicky Gumbel.
I was asked at work if (if!!!) I take it being criticized. I said "How to go forward otherwise?" I mean, yes, let me learn!
Mahalo to this, huh?
