“A joyful life is

copied from a recipe.”

" Humble living 

does not diminish. 

It fills. 

Going back to 

a simpler self 

gives wisdom. "

                            Rumi

This fence is just a place to stand

“Look up, laugh loud, 

talk big, keep the 

color in your cheek 

and the fire 

in your eye, 

adorn your person, 

maintain your health, your 

beauty and your animal spirits.”

                             William Hazlitt 1778-1830

" Grandmother, 

as she gets older,

Independence

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!

“ To overcome the anxieties 

and depressions of 

contemporary life, 

individuals must become

 independent of the 

social environment to 

the degree that they 

no longer respond exclusively

 in terms of its 

rewards and punishments. -

" To achieve such autonomy,

 a person has to learn

 to provide rewards 

to herself. -

- She has to develop the ability 

to find enjoyment and 

purpose regardless 

of external 

circumstances.” 

                   Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

We keep trying,

Seize Be Endure

A  L  O  H  A   from  Honolulu!

" Seize the moments

 of happiness, love 

and be loved!

 That is the only reality 

in the world,

 all else is folly. "

                          Tolstoy

" What it means to be authentic:

- to be more concerned with truth than opinions

- to be sincere and not pretend

- to be free from hypocrisy: "walk your talk"

- to know who you are and to be that person

- to not fear others seeing your vulnerabilities

- being confident to walk away from

 situations where you can't be yourself

- being awake to your own feelings

- being free from others' opinions of you

- accepting and loving yourself "

                                    Sue Fitzmaurice

“The beauty of a woman. . .

 true beauty in a Woman

 is reflected in her soul.

 It is the caring that 

she lovingly gives, 

the passion that she knows. 

And the beauty 

of a woman, 

with passing years

 only grows!” 

                Audrey Hepburn

Karma Burners

are those annoying

problems & issues

that get under your 

skin. 

You can't

stop worrying over

them, but in the 

Big Picture

your life will go on

however they resolve.

Not true emergencies

they are the equivalent

of moral push-ups;

Opportunities for

gratitude. Yes,

life must be OK

if such a small irritant

can IRRITATE
so big.

Strategy: LAUGH

Thanks for
Laughing here!

  Our Lady of Peace 

Malia O Ka Malu

[ lHawn. lit:' Maria of the Calm ] 

 Oldest cathedral in continuous use

 in the United States.

 Saint Damien of 

Molokaʻi was ordained here

on May 21, 1864.

Placed on the 

National Register of Historic Places 

in 1972. 

" After some years of persecution 

of Roman Catholicism in the 

Hawaiian Islands (partly instigated by 

Congregationalist and 

Presbyterian missionaries 

who had befriended the 

Kamehameha dynasty)

the Royal Hawaiian government 

issued an Edict of Toleration 

creating freedom of religious 

expression June 17, 1839

Link

 As an act 

of reconciliation, 

Kamehameha III gave the 

first Roman Catholic missionaries

a piece of the royal estate on 

which to build the first 

Roman Catholic church in the kingdom. 

Ground was broken on July 9, 1840, 

coinciding with the 

Feast of Our Lady of Peace.  

Mass was celebrated on that day,

and 280 native Hawaiians 

received the sacraments of baptism, 

confirmation, and first 

Eucharist. 

The cornerstone of the building 

was ceremonially laid on 

August 6, 1840. 

Native Hawaiian volunteers harvested

 blocks of coral from the 

shores of Ala Moana, 

Kakaʻako, and Waikīkī. 

Dedicated August 15, 1843 "
