Waits For You

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Wedelia

Luck is believing

you're lucky.
Tennessee Williams 


Heed a whisper
soft and true,
Invest in your joy
it waits for you.



 "Street Face"
You can glean a great deal about a person from the constellation of friends around the gravitational pull of their personhood. Maria Popova


To fuel your purpose
fan your spark,
A flickering flame
that lights the dark.


Find meaning there:
dusky depths unknown,
Where hidden healing
knows its own.




Those who bring sunshine
to the lives of others

cannot keep it

from themselves. James Matthew Barrie

Open Way Beacon

A L O H A From Honolulu!

As we get older we either
become our worst selves
or our best selves.
Steve Martin



Shield the joyful
with whispers of grace,
seeds softly sown
Flowers filling the space.



Art made by a living soul
will continue to be a mystery
as long as human consciousness
is a mystery.
Solomon Enos,
artist




Let kindness bloom,
With gentle hand,
In every soul,
A promised land.


🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼

Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia

When hearts are open,
light finds a way,
Joy is a beacon
Of fresh coming day.

Who Me?

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Learn that living in the present moment will always heal you. Living in the past forces you to align with it, especially if there is pain. Living in the future forces you to be anxious—live here.
Sylvester McNutt III


The way people treat you is a
statement about who they are
as a human being. It is not
a statement about you
Anirudha Bhattacharjee





Tiny flower
every moment with you
is a happy hour.
Cloudia




There is a name for my daily vice!
 Contrafactum is when you make up your own lyrics to a familiar song. Pixie is the subject of may songs I sing during my daily activities.
Weird Al Yankovic*
made a career of it!




Who, Me?

Missing sock?
A playful chase?
But who could resist
that fluffy sweet face!?

Queen of my bed,
a purring embrace, Tiny paw prints
on my sleeping face.
Wasn't me!

Kindly and Big

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Carry so much love
in your heart
that there's no room
left for hatred.
  Rithvik Singh




Speak kindly and
carry a big heart.
                  Cloudia



Two duties belong to our souls.
One is to reverently marvel.
The other is humbly to endure...
Julian of Norwich



An angel comes
to me at night
Filling me with
heavenly delight.
Whatever kind
of day I've had,
invites me
gratefully to bed.
Cloudia Charters 



I have spent my life
laboriously doing nothing. Grotius Hugo

The Joy The Day Will Be

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Thank you, sun,
for waking me, With light and hope
setting shadows free.
A grateful heart,
I offer thee, For this bright gift
O happily!



To free us from the
expectations of others,
to give us back to ourselves-
-there lies the great, singular
power of self-respect. Joan Didion



No amount of regret
changes the past,
no amount of anxiety
changes the future, but
any amount of gratitude
changes the present.
    Ann Voskamp





The trick to forgetting the big picture is to
look at everything close-up. Chuck Palahniuk

This Time

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Genius is the recovery
of childhood at will. Arthur Rimbaud



If you tend to a flower,
it will bloom, no matter
how many weeds
surround it.
Matshona Dhliwayo



Throw away the idea that
you need to agree with
someone 100% on every
topic to be friends,
partners or colleagues.
There is beauty in difference,
and there's power in
understanding another person.
Sylvester McNutt


Happiness held
is the seed;
Happiness shared
is the flower.
John Harrigan





This time in my life is
dedicated to healing deeply,
while attracting happiness. Sylvester McNutt III
