Beauty Joy & Promise

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
A pink sky welcomes
beauty, joy & promise.
A pink sky makes my
hopeful heart sing.





Remember, the best way to
resist darkness is to
shine your own light.
Be the kindness
that defies negativity.  
     Mattie Stepanek





Cultivating goodwill 
isn't just about 
giving to others
—it's about giving 
to yourself, too. 
When we treat ourselves 
with kindness, we create 
a benevolent mindset that 
fuels our ability to spread joy 
and connection to 
those around us.
   Kristin Neff






The most valuable possession 
you can own is an open heart. 
The most powerful weapon 
you can be is an 
instrument of peace.
              Carlos Santana
