Thank You Pixie

A L O H A From Honolulu!

It is a serious thing
just to be alive
on this fresh morning.
Mary Oliver

No flower, but a hopeful gleam,

Red Ti plant a tropic dream. Though deemed a plant,

It's beauty shines, Testament to those who

Read between the lines.

Be Heartful Not Hurtful

Joy is both a gift and a practice, but it isn’t primarily a feeling any more than self-control or faithfulness are feelings. It is a muscle we can strengthen with exercise. Tish Harrison Warren

I’m here to tell you That you’ve got What it takes!

Honest Daylight

A L O H A From Honolulu!

What we achieve inwardly

will change outer reality.

   Plutarch 

Beyond the screen,

A world awaits,
Where sunlight gleams

All shadows abate.

No longer bound

By others’ views,
Spread your wings

Soar and choose.

Break free from shadows

Find your way,
To the Honest light of day.

Whoever is happy

will make others happy too.

Anne Frank

The female warrior knows how

to fight without violence.

She knows when not to

raise her sword, but

instead hold up her heart.

Her shield is not a defense

against others but

a shelter for all.

Simple Enough

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Angels of the morning sky
Dancing with the clouds so high,
Casting down such golden light,
To fill our hearts with joyful delight.

Dear gentle breeze, 0 sweet perfume,

Nature's beauty in full bloom.

Together cherish this precious day,

Share our spirits to soar and play.

Stay wild, moon child.

Riitta Klint

The most important things

are really very simple. But

they encompass the most complex.

It takes a lifetime to get

simple enough to understand them.

Busy casting spells, but

always making time for

a little magic in her glass.

Amidst the city's bustling throng,

A wizardess, her day is long

With phone in hand and potion near,

A moment's peace, some morning cheer.

As You Choose

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Just think how happy

you would be if you lost

everything you have right now,

and then got it back again.

Courtesy is a gift

we give one another.

Your life will be as lovely as you choose to make it. When there is a bump in the road do you take it personally and amplify it with complaint, or continue down the road? None of us can control life but we can choose our response to it.

Close To Healing Or

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A well-ordered life 

is like climbing a tower; 

the view halfway up 

is better than the 

view from the base, 

and it steadily becomes 

finer as the 

horizon expands.

                 William Lyon Phelps

The purpose of life is not to be happy.

It is to be useful, to be honorable,

to be compassionate, to have it

make some difference that

you have lived and lived well.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson

Many of life's failures are

experienced by people who

did not realize how close

they were to success

when they gave up.

  Thomas Edison

We can avoid the horrors of autocracy by preventing the forces of reaction from coming to power. Joy and optimism can play a big part in this. Far from being cringe-worthy, joy is precious and noble and also the basis of effective anti-authoritarian strategy.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat 

Hate has talked so loudly for so long.

Greed has talked so loudly for so long.

Liars have talked so loud for so long. Love has to stop whispering. Marianne Williamson

In the end, it's not the

years in your life that count.

It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln

Subtlety paints The morning sky, Waves crash sweetly, A lullaby.

Surfer stands Against the light, Lost in thought And nature's might.

Salty hair and Sun-kissed skin, A peaceful moment, Worries start to thin.

In Waikiki's embrace We're lucky to find our place, Souls well connected To nature's awesome grace.

I get up every morning and it's going to be a great day. You never know when it's going to be over so I refuse to have a bad day. Paul Henderson

Every time you remain calm in

a challenging, upsetting situation,
your calm super power grows.

Treasure

A L O H A From Honolulu!

In quiet days

Where moments blend,  

A tranquil life

My gentle friend.  

No storms to chase

No fires to fight,  

Just peaceful dawns

And soft twilight... 

Hippeastrum 

The world may call

For tales untold,  

Adventures bold

And riches gold.  

Yet in the calm

A treasure lies—  

A steady heart

And clear, blue sky.  

So if your life

Is calm and plain,  

Be grateful

For the gentle rain...  

Honolulu Museum of Art

Then in the quiet

You can find,  

A soothing balm

For heart and mind.  

Embrace the mundane's

subtle charm,  

A life untroubled by alarm.  

For in that stillness

Lies the art—  

And beauty

Of a quiet heart.

Close the gap between yourself and your spirit--the person you know you can be. Let your choices reflect the person you want to become, not just the person you think you are.
