Fireworks, Doll, Angel

A  L  O  H  A !

When you meet someone

so different from yourself,

in a good way,

you don’t even have to kiss

to have fireworks go off.

    Lisa Schroeder

Dolls are precious little reflections of joyous light, whose hope is only to delight. I never shoot for perfection or symmetry in doll making. It is our lovely flaws that make us each special.

The rough must always accompany the smooth. Without one or the other 

one learns nothing about oneself.

When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing - just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?

Flow with whatever may happen, 

and let your mind be free: 

Stay centered by accepting 

whatever you are doing. 

This is the ultimate.

Better Than Ten Years Of Study

A  L  O  H  A !

Ride The Rainbow - Going UP!

The thousand mysteries around us 

would not trouble but interest us, 

if only 

we had cheerful, healthy hearts.

In a full heart there is room 

for everything, and in an 

empty heart there is room 

for nothing.

Honolulu Streets Have Character

A single conversation with a wise one

is better than ten years of study.  

           Chinese Proverb

The emotion that can 

break your heart is

sometimes the very one 

that heals it.

How To Be Lucky

A  L  O  H  A !

Century Center, Makiki Stream, Honolulu

We ought to lay up a stock of absurd enthusiasms in our youth, or else we shall reach the end of our journey with an empty heart, for we lose a great many on our way.

1877 translated from French

Barrier Of Palms

I'm interested in everything 

but passionate about nothing.

    Jeanne Calment

Oldest woman in history (122 years, 164 days).

Every age has its happiness

and troubles.

   Jeanne Calment

I took pleasure when I could. 

I acted clearly and morally 

and without regret. 

I'm very lucky.

Inexpensive Way To Change Your Looks

A  L  O  H  A !

Nobody sees a flower really; 

it is so small. We haven't time, 

and to see takes time - like 

to have a friend takes time.

The most important thing 

in communication is to 

hear what isn't being said.

to change your looks.
