We Rise By Lifting

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
Be nice to people… maybe it’ll be unappreciated, unreciprocated, or ignored, but spread the love anyway. We rise by lifting others. Germany Kent

Birds are born twice: 
once from the egg, 
and again when 
they learn to fly.

more loving hearts. Avijeet Das




Don’t just be yourself.
 Be all of your selves.

The ability to take pleasure 
in one's life is a skill 
and is a kind of intelligence.
The ability to know 
how to live a life and 
not be miserable 
is a sign of that.

You always find the best sunsets and rainbows to photograph. They are always great to see.

I like the phrase "learn how to live and not be miserable." Pixie is definitely a good teacher of that skill, I think.
