Taste Embrace

Aloha From Honolulu!

Embrace the beauty

Of this day!

Really taste it 

Before it slips away.

Keep Palm

And Carry Frond!

Hope begins in the dark, 

the stubborn hope that if 

you just show up 

and try to do

the right thing, 

the dawn will come.

   Anne Lamot

Some believe it is only

great power that can

hold evil in check, but

that is not what I have found.

It is the small everyday deeds

of ordinary folk that keep

the darkness at bay.

Small acts of kindness and love. Tolkien, The Hobbit

Thankful!

To me, photography is

an art of observation.

It’s about finding something

interesting in an ordinary place…

I’ve found it has little to do

with the things you see

and everything to do with

the way you see them.

Elliott Erwitt

The Pattern One Enjoys

Aloha From Honolulu!

Success is following

the pattern of life

one enjoys most. Al Capp

The sparrow that is twittering on the edge of my balcony is calling up to me this moment a world of memories that reach over half my lifetime, and a world of hope that stretches farther than any flight of sparrows. Donald G. Mitchell

Mountaintops inspire...

but valleys mature...

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you. John Wooden

Aloha From Honolulu!

It suddenly struck me

 that that tiny pea,

pretty and blue, 

was the Earth.

 I put up my thumb 

and shut one eye, 

and my thumb blotted out

 the planet Earth. 

I didn't feel like a giant. 

I felt very, very small. 

     Neil Armstrong 

Resistance isn't just

Legal fights,

It's an inner flame

Through dreadful nights.

So cherish this power

Guard it with care,

Wellspring of strength,

Always there.

Don't waste your time 

On needless debate,

Preserve your power

For the right time and date.

I yam what I yam

and dats all what I yam.

    Popeye "The Sailor Man"

What lies behind us

and what lies before us

are tiny matters

compared to what

lies within us.

 Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you feel pain, you're alive.

If you feel other people's pain,

you're a human being.

Tolstoy

My Dear Friend Anissa is

a beautiful artist and mother.

Her jewelry is CRAVABLE!

I own two of her necklaces.

She uses the best stones

and hand knots each one-

Kindly have a look!

The Whole Playground

Aloha From Honolulu!

When we give ourselves

compassion, we are

opening our hearts

in a way that can

transform our lives.
Kristin Neff

The truth is, it takes a village to get through the tough stuff in life. It doesn't have to be a big village but we all need people to help hold us up when life, loss and grief knock us down.
Michelle Divine 

Rainbow Mural was the World's Tallest Mosaic when it was completed in 1968. Designed by the iconic Millard Sheets. Actually, two mosaics adorn opposite sides of the Hilton Hawaiian Village’s 31-story Rainbow Tower. They measure 286 feet high by 26 feet wide, originally consisting of more than 16,000 hand-painted ceramic tiles. Link

On a bad day, 

I have mood swings - 

but on a good day, I have 

the whole mood playground.

Happiness cannot be

traveled to, owned,

earned, worn 

or consumed. 

Happiness is the 

spiritual experience 

of living every minute with 

love, grace and gratitude.

            Denis Waitley

Simple Refusal

Aloha From Honolulu!

Listen to your heart.

It knows all things,

because it came from

the Soul of the World

and it will one day

return there.

  Paulo Coelho

In quiet calm

We can find peace,  

Alert, aware 

We never cease 

To hold the world

Within our care

By simple refusal

To despair.

Phoenix

 

A heart filled with love is

can imprison.

Rumi

Gratitude

for the present moment and

the fullness of life now

is the true prosperity.

Hiding Ducky

In the bushes,

This duck hides low,

With feathers muted

But a sly little glow.

She thinks she’s so clever

Quiet and still,

But a twitch of her head

Betrays her pretty bill.

With a flap and a quack

She jumps out with glee,

“I’m not very good

At hiding, you see!”

Pixie

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
