If We Opened to Enjoyment

A L O H A From Honolulu!

If we opened our minds

to enjoyment, we might find

tranquil pleasures spread

about us on every side.
We might live with the angels

that visit us on every sunbeam,
and sit with the fairies

who wait on every flower.
Samuel Smiles

Golden Trumpet Tree

Handroanthus chrysotrichus

semi-evergreen, semi-deciduous tree native

to the coastal forests of southern Brazil

and northern Argentina; also known as

No borders,

just horizons – only freedom.
Amelia Earhart

Your mind is a ship; it can sail
across the universe as long as
you don't allow negative
thoughts to sink it.
Matshona Dhliwayo

The way you dress is

how you greet the sun

and other stars.

Kamand Kojouri

If having a soul

means being able

to feel love and loyalty

and gratitude,

then animals are better off

than a lot of humans.

Our Existence is Resistance.

A L O H A From Honolulu!

And now that you don't

have to be perfect,

you can be good. John Steinbeck

Progress depends less on

talent than motivation

and opportunity.
Growth is not about the

natural gifts you have it's

about the character you build.

Adam Grant

You win by

not playing their game. Don't be what they

expect you to be.

I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition. Martha Washington 1st First Lady (FLOTUS) of the USA

Born With Comets

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We are born with whirlwinds,

forest fires, and comets inside us.

Robert R. McCammon

Look upon those who
disagree with you

simply as children
with more to learn.
Don't make tantrums worse.
Look at yourself
with the same eyes.
Play nice!

I think, therefore I think.
I feel, therefore I am.
Lily Akerman

Those who know how to

share love are constantly

advancing into the

springtime of their youth...

Swedenborg

Never waste any amount of time doing anything important when there is a sunset outside that you should be sitting under! C. JoyBell C.

how they’re going to bloom.

They just open up and

turn toward the light and

A New Language

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We really are surrounded by heroes.

You do not know the challenges

faced or the tragedies survived.

They walk the same street

right next to us, yet

we never know them.

- But if we did,
we would be humbled.
We really are surrounded
by heroes. We all
face our common mortality.
Lighten the load if you can.
Especially for yourself.
