Big Little Things

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Great things are done by

a series of small things

brought together

    Vincent van Gogh

True greatness consists

in being great

in little things

We make our friends;

we make our enemies; but

God makes our next door neighbor.

  Gilbert K. Chesterton

The world is round and

the place which may seem

like the end may also

be only the beginning.

Ivy Baker Priest

The little things in life have the biggest stories. It's the little things I've found that make the stuff of life. It's little things that fill our days with respite, joy and love. Don't forget to look for little things keys to our happiness.

A Little Kinder

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Kindness is

loaning someone your strength

instead of reminding them

of their weakness
Andy Stanley

If you change the way
you look at things,
the things you look at
will change.
Wayne W. Dyer

Always be on the lookout for
ways to nurture your dream.
Lao Tzu

If having a soul means
being able to feel love
and loyalty and gratitude,
then animals are better off
than a lot of humans.
James Herriot

It's embarrassing that after

45 years of research and study,

the best advice I can give to

people is to be a little

kinder to each other.

  Aldous Huxley

Fifty Four Years Ago and Today

My favorite things in life don't cost any money. Steve Jobs

It was the first.
The biggest event ever.
I was there.
It was overwhelming!

Woodstock - The Message of History's Biggest Happening Friday, Aug. 29, 1969 Time Magazine Link

The baffling history of mankind is full of obvious turning points and significant events: battles won, treaties signed, rulers elected or deposed, and now, seemingly, planets conquered. Equally important are the great groundswells of popular movements that affect the minds and values of a generation or more, not all of which can be neatly tied to a time and place. Looking back upon the America of the '60s, future historians may well search for the meaning of one such movement. It drew the public's notice on the days and nights of Aug. 15 through 17, 1969, on the 600-acre farm of Max Yasgur in Bethel, N.Y.

Talk to yourself

like someone you love.

Brené Brown

By being yourself

you put something wonderful

in the world that was

not there before.

Edwin Elliot

Caring for myself is

not self-indulgence,

it is self-preservation,

and that is an

act of political warfare.

Audre Lorde

Why not touch things

that we hate and turn them

upside down and inside out? Alber Elbaz

Soar Deeply

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The world is loud,

but I am still, When I stay grounded

it keeps me strong, Part of ALL, I am whole, While at peace, I belong.

Growing older means

being wise enough to know

when to let things go

and let things be

EVISU

was Japan's first jeans brand and

designer clothing company producing denim through traditional, labor-intensive methods. Founded in Osaka in 1991 Evisu's name

honors the beloved

Japanese Shinto deity Ebisu

who is associated with

good luck and prosperity.

He is often depicted as a

lucky bearded fisherman

with his fishing rod. 

Soar deeply, my soul, To the heights of your being. Let go of all that weighs you down, And let your wings spread wide.

Wisdom cannot be rushed

Rabindranath Tagore

A L O H A From Honolulu!

There is a fountain of youth:

it is your mind, your talents,

the creativity you bring to your life

and the lives of the people you love.

When you learn to tap this

source, you will have

truly defeated age.

    Sophia Loren

Two Photographers

[That's me lower right]

Two photographers can stand in

the same place and take a picture,

but they will come out differently

because of the soul behind the lens.

The Historic tree endured the fire

Next morning the sun shone bright

Birds sang in the branches

And the banyan tree stood tall

A symbol of hope and strength

It had faced the fire

And like our Hope

Survived

Old & Young Kids

Young people are in

a condition like permanent

intoxication, because youth

is sweet and they are growing.
Aristotle

I realized that
I don’t have to be perfect.
All I have to do is show up
and enjoy the messy, imperfect,
and beautiful journey of my life.
Kerry Washington
