Subtly Powerful

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Be water. Flowing, flexible
and soft. Subtly powerful
and open. Wild and serene.
Able to accept all changes,
yet still led by the pull of
steady tides. It is enough.
Victoria Erickson



See The Secret Door?

Don't waste a minute
not being happy. If
one window closes, run to the next window,
or break down a door. Brooke Shields




Great leaders are almost always
great simplifiers, who can cut
through argument, debate
and doubt, to offer a solution
everybody can understand. Colin Powell

"Breadfruits are self-fertile.
You will get fruit with only one plant.
However, adding an additional Breadfruit
will drastically increase the size of your crop."

Steel Jelly

A L O H A From Honolulu!


The quality of our love
determines the quality
of our wisdom.
Together these determine
our quality as a person.

Becoming a better person is
not dependent on other people.

Whatever they do is
grist for the mill, an
opportunity to learn
from one kind of
situation or another. 







Play Pays.
Make Confidence
Your Residence.







Whether you're having
setbacks or not,
the role of a leader
is to always display
a winning attitude.
 Colin Powell

Your Delight! 


Love You,
 Pixie & Cloudia
