I Am Here Now


 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu


We have seasons
when we flourish and seasons when the leaves fall from us, revealing our bare bones. Given time, they grow again. Katherine May


It's so simple to be wise.
Just think of something
stupid to say and
then don't say it.
Sam Levenson



Don't chase the past or fear the future unborn.
Take a deep breath and whisper to yourself: I am here now. Take a breath. Let it out . Life is miraculous.
Notice and thank your body, your companion. In this moment you have everything you need. Here is peace.
Remember these magic words: I am here. Now. I Am Here. Cloudia Charters


ढ़ ढ़ ढ़ ढ़ ढ़ ढ़ ढ़ ढ़ ढ़ ढ़ ढ़ ढ़ ढ़ ढ़ Love You, Cloudia & Pixie ढ़





The heart is 
very much like the sea, 
it has its storms, 
it has its tides, 
and in its depths 
it has its pearls too.
       Vincent Van Gogh
