Defiant Kindness

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
Remember,
the best way to
resist darkness is to
shine your own light.
Be the kindness
that defies negativity.
Mattie Stepanek


Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset. Saint Francis de Sales


Take a breath
with me my friend
no need to rush,
no race to win. The world can wait
a moment for
hearts to settle in. 
Pixie & Cloudia


 The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love. Hubert H. Humphrey

Defiant kindness
doesn't ignore injustice, it
chooses compassion 
as its weapon.
It disrupts with love, 
challenges
with empathy, and fights
for change with grace.

  12. I try to be defiantly kind but I fall short. I know people that are defiantly kind and it is amazing. It is like turning everything on its head.
