What You Most Like About Yourself

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

What qualities you admire 
most in other people. 
(This is what you 
most like about yourself.)
Brianna Wiest




Symphony of sunlight
warm and gold,
as day matures
Grace enfolds. -




-In golden hush
the tempo slows,
Legends of light
and shadow close. -




- On verdant leaves
a glittering dance,
casts dew alight in
 jewel speckled trance. -





- And at sunset
a performance of fire,
Clouds of glory
ablaze with desire.
   Cloudia Charters




Tension is who you 
think you should be. 
Relaxation is who you are.
    Alexander Den Heijer

Message Friends

A L O H A From 
H O N O L U L U

In quiet moments
Thoughts take flight,  
With you, my friend,
They find their light.  
In solitude
I've often roamed,  
Yet in our words
I feel at home.

Like angels consoling
through the night,  
We share all dreams,
All favors requite.  
Our conversations
Dance with wings,  
So natural with you:
These significant things!





. . .A bond's been woven,
Deep and true,  
Of everything I share
With you.  
Of all the things
You share with me
Instantly our hearts agree.

Thank you for being
My guiding star,  
My message friend,
No distance too far.  
Together we speak
In a sacred space,  
With every word
We find our grace.

So here’s my heart
In verses penned—  
Grateful always
For you, my friend.
        Cloudia Charters,

"Message Friend "
for JB





Be an encourager.
The world has plenty 
of critics already.
   Dave Willis




The greatest weapon 
against stress is our 
ability to choose one 
thought over another.
William James






The key to finding 
happiness in this life is 
realizing that the only way 
to overcome is to transcend; 
to find happiness in the 
simple pleasures, to master
the art of just being.
Brianna Wiest

A Tidge Of Magic

 A L O H A  From  
H O N O L U L U

I despise people who
go to the gutter on either
the right or the left and
hurl rocks at those
in the center.
Dwight D. Eisenhower


If you don't believe
in miracles remember that
you live on a giant liquid rock
traveling thru space 60,000 mph
around the sun. Your very
existence is miraculous.
Don't be so logical and
controlling that you don't
leave room for miracles
in your life. Jon Gordon

The pleasure we feel
in criticizing robs us from
being moved by very
beautiful things.
Jean de la Bruyere


You are not the darkness 
you endured. You 
are the light that refused 
to surrender.
 John Mark Green

Less Is The Language

  A L O H A  From  

H O N O L U L U


Because somewhere out there
is someone who needs that story.
And that is why we write.
 Neil Gaiman
 Newbery Acceptance Speech



Out of difficulties
 grow miracles.
 Jean de la Bruyere








Do what you can,
with what you have,
where you are.
Theodore Roosevelt



Less is the language
the heart truly speaks,
Not grand gestures
But silence it seeks.

And peace isn't measured
By things we possess,
But lightness within us
A quiet happiness.

Serene as a pebble
Worn smooth by the tide,
No clutter or chaos
Just space to reside,
A calmness that settles,
Where worries subside.

In quiet contentment
Freedom from bane,
Live life unencumbered
Survive and sustain.
      Cloudia Charters

Resolve to keep happy,

We are wise only while in search of wisdom; Imagine we have attained it, and we are a fool. Solomon Ibn Gabirol




Be always at war with
your vices, at peace with

Compelling

 A L O H A  From  
H O N O L U L U

Each time dawn appears, 
the mystery is there 
in its entirety. 
        Rene Daumal







Educating the mind without 
educating the heart, is 
no education at all.
               Aristotle 






There's never any closure 
in an awe-inspired life, 
only constant acceptance 
of the mysteries of life.
      Paul Pearsall



In hard times, people don't
want to be told to look
on the bright side.
They want to know
you're on their side.
Even if you can't help them
feel better, you can always
help them feel seen.
The best way to support
others is not to cheer them up.
It's to show up.
            Adam Grant






Let the Good in me
connect with the good
in others, until the world
is transformed through the
compelling power of love.
   Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
