Create paradise

as much as you

are able.

Let love flow

out and in.

And remember:

Sometimes

a gesture

is all

important.

Thank YOU

"Every day of 

your life is 

a page of 

your history." 

            Arabian Proverb

“The Greek word for 

"return" is nostos. 

Algos means "suffering." 

So nostalgia is the 

suffering caused by an 

unappeased yearning 

to return.” 

             Milan Kundera

"Magic is believing 

in yourself, if 

you can do that, 

you can make 

anything happen."

One year ago

today.

We got on a plane

at Honolulu

[after 30 years]

and flew to the 

San Francisco

Bay Area.

They say it takes

one year to 

feel at home.

So now I'm a

Hawaii girl

at home in 

Marin.

Or something. . . 

Do I long for Hawaii?

How can I when it is

such a part of me!

Thank YOU

for being part of it all!

Acceptance

A  L  O  H  A !

"If our early lessons of 

acceptance were as 

successful as our 

early lessons of anger, 

how much happier

we would all be."

                Peter McWilliams

"The days you are most uncomfortable are 

the days you learn the 

most about yourself."

                    Mary L. Bean

"Happiness is not a matter 

of intensity but of balance, 

order, rhythm and harmony."

Mt. Diablo

It's like I say:

Sometimes 

you climb the mountain.

Sometimes the

mountain climbs you.

But isn't it great:

we get to have

mountains to

bring awe to

our days!

Hope you enjoy
