A L O H A From Honolulu!


 Last year's words belong to
last year's language; And
next year's words await
another voice. And to
make an end is
to make a beginning. T.S. Eliot


Be strong enough
to be gentle. And
smart enough to not
act like the smartest
person in the room.




Let your heart speak 
to others' hearts.
   Yogi Bhajan




 If you have heart,
you can do anything.
 Karen Sather





I win or I learn,
but I never lose.
 Marie Forleo

A Secret or Two

A L O H A From Honolulu!
You don't have to be
fastest or first.
Just Don't Stop!


When bad things happen
to good people they
make something good
out of it.

When something good
happens to bad people
they make something
bad out of it.



The secret of being a bore
is to tell everything.
Voltaire 




We all need fresh starts.
That's why the sun
comes up everyday.

Teen Hero

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Share your voice and your heart.
Listen to how it falls in
with the cosmic symphony.
Let it be imperfect,
incomplete, unrefined.
The masterpiece is coming.
  Amy McTear






When you think you know
all the answers, 
you have finally become 
a perfect fool.

"Every Day Better"

This is a young man I know,
named Genshu Price.
One day Genshu's dad suggested
that he collect recyclables to
save money for college.

Because G is a very smart
and kind young man,
he turned recycling into a
calling, then into a 
501c Nonprofit Organization
named Bottles4College.
Genshu plans on sending OTHER
local kids to college even
before he is ready to attend himself!

Every week G and his family
personally collect many pounds
of cans and bottles. Small businesses,
schools, restaurants and many others
have joined the
Bottles4College movement.
G inspires many many of us!

I remind G to take time for
fun and to be a kid,
But he loves what he is doing.
Recognition, news stories and awards
are to him just opportunities
to spread his message.

In case you wonder,
this young man is just starting
High School!

Can't wait till he is our 
Senator or Governor.




The larger the 
island of knowledge, 
the longer the 
shoreline of wonder.
           Ralph W. Sockman



The one you really love
will never grow old to you.
Through the wrinkles of time,
through the bowed frame of years,
you will always see the dear face
and feel the warm heart union
of your eternal love.
  Alfred Montapert

Joy Sips

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Perfect happiness is
a beautiful sunset, 
the giggle of a grandchild,
the first snowfall. 
It's the little things that
make happy moments, 
not the grand events. Joy 
comes in sips, not gulps.     
             Sharon Draper






 Enlightenment
must come little by little - otherwise it would overwhelm. Idries Shah

Little Things Thursday

I Like Thursday




Little tendrils of the heart
Curling out and groping,
Seeking little things to hold,
Wiggling and hoping.

Little tendrils, little tendrils,
innocent and plucky,
I pray that you are careful
And I hope that 
you are lucky.

We're at a place
in the world where
we all need to practice
radical compassion.

A picnic is more than
eating a meal, it is a pleasurable
state of mind. DeeDee Stovel

their way with great strife.
Flowers open to perfection

about spiritual matters.
Go step by step. White Eagle

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A solitary fantasy can
totally transform
one million realities.
Maya Angelou





The words of my book
nothing,
the drift of it
everything.
Walt Whitman



Beginnings Can Be A Struggle

Difficult roads often
lead to beautiful destinations. Zig Zigler


I am always looking for interesting
scenes to set up on
to quickly and discretely shoot.
Imagine my joy when I
realized later that I had captured
a drink being
drunk (drank?)
for T Tuesday!



People have the power
to redeem
the work of fools. Patti Smith
