Life is a voyage

best made by 

paddling together.

Our Differences

are ever at war 

with our Commonalities. 

Be careful which you feed.

Calmness is a superpower. 

The ability to not overreact or 

take things personally

is real power.

presents and listen.

looking forward, I am filled with vision,

looking upwards I am filled with strength, 

looking within, I discover peace

Drinking With Young Elvis in Waikiki

How Times Have Changed:

"Chad Gates [Elvis]:

You know what you need? 

A good old-fashioned spanking.

Ellie Corbett:

M-Maybe I do. Nobody ever cared enough 

about me. Even for that.

Chad Gates:

Alright, Eleanor. I better prove that somebody 

does care. [He pulls her over his lap]

Ellie Corbett:

You wouldn't dare.

Chad Gates:

Oh wouldn't I dare? Wouldn't I? [He spanks her, and Ellie begins to cry out] I got a feeling that this is gonna make both of us an awful lot better."

Shine For Ever More

A  L  O  H  A !

This evening is as brief as 

the twinkling of an eye yet 

such twinklings are what 

eternity is made of-

- moments when we human beings 

can say "I love you," "I'm proud of you," 

"I forgive you," "I'm grateful for you." 

That's what eternity is made of: 

invisible imperishable good stuff.

        Fred Rogers

There is no death. 

The stars go down to rise 

upon some other shore. And 

bright in Heaven's jeweled crown, 

they shine for ever more.

Wise Cat

A  L  O  H  A !

It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. 

I am strongly in favor of common sense, 

common honesty, and common decency.

This makes me forever ineligible 

for public office.

3 Deep Grateful Breaths.

Repeat

throughout the day!

Night, when words 

fade and 

things come alive. 

When the destructive 

analysis of day is done, 

and all that is 

truly important 

becomes whole 

and sound again. 

When man reassembles 

his fragmentary self 

and grows 

with the calm of a tree.

Transforming Your World

A  L  O  H  A !

Perhaps the feelings 

that we experience 

when we are in love 

represent a normal state. 

Being in love shows a person 

who he should be. 

   Anton Chekhov

If we choose to actively seek out 

information that challenges our 

assumptions and beliefs, perhaps 

we can begin to understand 

where the people who 

disagree with us 

are coming from.

           Barack Obama

The moment you have in your heart 

this extraordinary thing called love 

and feel the depth, the delight, 

the ecstasy of it, you will discover that 

for you the world is transformed.
