Harbinger

A  L  O  H  A !

Youth has no age. 

Pablo Picasso

 "It's so hard 

when I have to, 

and so easy 

when I want to."

        Annie Gottlier

“I've always rejected 

being understood. 

 I prefer to be taken 

seriously for what I'm not, 

remaining humanly unknown, 

with naturalness and 

all due respect” 

             Fernando Pessoa

Let me be your harbinger

your light bringer

your seasonal singer,

Reminding you 

that night lasts long

but not forever

Pendulums swing

cyclical as weather

but climate,

our climate, changes

yes it does,

sandwiches for doves

and long neglected loves

are starting to bloom.

Only LOOK!

No lesser heart

can overturn

the compassion

   which we undertook.

Risk It

A  L  O  H  A !

Even though we all 

long for connection, 

we are afraid that getting 

involved closely with others 

will result in obligations. 

I have decided to risk 

expressing my Aloha 

for others. And if I'm asked to

do something I'm unable to do 

to Simply let my no be no. 

One runs the risk that others 

will interpret one's behavior 

in a negative way and 

that is their right. 

But if you are 

authentic: go ahead.

Connections can last

for a second

or a lifetime.

Risk It!

We Do Not Believe

A  L  O  H  A !

“ We do not believe

 in ourselves -

- until someone reveals

 that deep inside us 

something is valuable,

 worth listening to, -

- worthy of our trust, 

sacred to our touch. 

Once we believe 

in ourselves -

- we can risk curiosity,

 wonder, spontaneous delight 

or any experience -

- that reveals 

the human spirit.”

                   e. e. Cummings

Expect The Best

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!

" Expect the best, 

plan for the worst, and 

prepare to be surprised. " 

 Denis Waitley

" Expect the best.
Prepare for the worst
Capitalize on what comes. "
                                 Zig Ziglar

Don't let today 

be governed by 

yesterday's issues or

 tomorrow's worries. 

Start each new day 

on the right foot, 

expect the best!

“ If you treat an individual 

as he is, he will 

remain how he is. 

But if you treat him 

as if he were 

what he ought to be

 and could be, 

he will become 

what he ought to be 

and could be. "
                          Goethe

" The world in which 

we live and work, 

is a mirror of 

our attitudes 

and expectations. "
