Given A Cactus

Aloha From Honolulu!

It’s not selfish to love yourself,

take care of yourself, and to

make your happiness a priority.

It’s necessary.

Mandy Hale

Reach for the stars,

even if you have to

stand on a cactus.

Pixie

The world would be a nicer place

if everyone had the ability to  

love as unconditionally as a dog. 

M.K. Clinton

We must be willing 

to let go of the life

we have planned,

 so as to accept

 the life that is

waiting for us.

 Joseph Campbell

Being negative only makes

a difficult journey more difficult.

You may be given a cactus,

but you don't have to sit on it.
Joyce Meyer

You Matter You Count

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The sun now shines

With golden grace,

Smiles upon

My upturned face.

Release the weight

That binds your soul,

Let go of shadows

Sing yourself whole. 

Embrace the moment

Let love flow, 

With every heartbeat

May your spirit grow.

Cloudia Charters 

Murraya paniculata,

Orange jasmine, mock orange

You are a divine being.

You matter, you count.

You come from realms of

unimaginable power and light,

and you will return

to those realms. 

       Terence McKenna

 You may feel emotionally

spent and physically worn down.

You might be second-guessing

yourself, or losing hope.

But I will tell you this:

 The persistence you bring

to the effort is a worthy and

important thing in itself.

     Chere Clark

Opinion is really the lowest

form of human knowledge.

It requires no accountability,

no understanding. The highest form of knowledge

is Empathy, for it requires us to

suspend our egos and

live in another's world. Bill Bullard

To be trusted

is a greater compliment

than being loved.

Tolstoy

Which Will Change

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Every Positive Thought

Is A Silent Prayer Which

Will Change Your Life.

Bryant McGill

The joy we feel has little

to do with the circumstances

of our lives and everything to

do with the focus of our lives.

Russell M. Nelson

You are the one that

possesses the key

to your being.

You carry the passport

to your own happiness.

Diane von Furstenberg

When the power of love

overcomes the love of power,

the world will know peace.

Jimi Hendrix

This Is Precisely The Time

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Walk on a rainbow trail;

walk on a trail of song, and all about you

will be beauty. There is a way out

of every dark mist, over a rainbow trail. Andra Davis

This is precisely the time

when artists go to work.

There is no time for despair,

no place for self-pity,

no need for silence,

no room for fear.

We speak, we write,

we do language.

That is how civilizations heal.

  Toni Morrison

 If you see the world in black and white, you're missing important grey matter. Jack Fyock

Now we dare To see the light, In every dark And weary night.

In holy mirth

We'll find the key,

To set good hearts

And spirits free.

Where Flowers Bloom

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Normal day, let me be

aware of the treasure you are.

Let me learn from you,

love you, savor you, bless you

before you depart. Let me not

pass you by in quest of some

rare and perfect tomorrow.

Mary Jean Irion

Where flowers bloom

so does hope.

  Lady Bird Johnson

Your contributions are greater

than you probably realize. What you do has

positive impacts that

you may never

see or know. 

   Chere Clark

In the face
of stormy skies,
I choose to smile
not shut my eyes.

When shadows loom
And threaten near,
Let's create hope
Manufacturing cheer.

Each knowing chuckle
Builds a bridge so strong
It carries us
Where we belong.

From sorrow's soil
Joy can grow
Secret garden
No one knows.

Let's plant our dreams
In this troubled ground,
Raising laughter's
Healing sound.

Cloudia Charters

I make the most

of all that comes

and the least

of all that goes.

Hatred Has Not Won

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You are more powerful than you know; you are beautiful just as you are. Melissa Etheridge

As long as the hearts of

decent people are still beating,

hope lives. Put your hand

on your chest right now

and be reminded:

hatred hasn’t won.

John Pavlovitz

Gratitude as a discipline

involves a conscious choice.

I can choose to be grateful

even when my emotions and

feelings are still steeped in

hurt and resentment.

Henri Nouwen

I'd rather have a heart of gold Than all the treasure of the world. Ana Claudia Antunes
