you can begin to see 

many things. You have time 

to take care of your body 

to take care of your feelings 

and emotions. you taste 

the joy of being free.

Surfur Competition

August 23, 2022

W A I K I K I Kuhio Beach / Queen's Surf Fun for the whole family! The only Dog/Pet Surfing Competition in Hawai’i, with over 20 surfing animals joining their humans in the waves on paddle-boards and surfboards. All surfing animals and ages are welcome to compete. Past participants have included a pig, cat and duck surfurs, as well as dogs of all sizes! There was

one illusive cat competing

but I never saw her.

Isn't that like a cat!?

Find your inner peace

in the rhythm of the waves,

and your loyal companion

by your side.

Sunshine, salty air, 

and a happy dog 

by your side—what 

more could 

you ask for!?

Every sunset is 

better when shared with 

a dog on the beach.

Walking Iris, also known as Neomarica
or Apostle Plant. 

At Last! 
Everybody Poops, even surfing dogs

The best wave 

of your life is 

still out there!

Kindness is the fragrance 

that lingers long after 

the act is done.

Joy increases as you give it, and diminishes as you try to keep it yourself. In giving it, you will accumulate a deposit of joy greater than you ever believed possible.

My Wish For You

When the sun begins to set,

A healing rest is what we get.

Not just for body, but also for mind,

A soulful rest, serene and kind.

Let us remember that within us there is a palace of immense magnificence.

Teresa of Avila

In the stillness before sunrise, Magic breathes in quiet air— A hush like promise, gentle, wise, Achievement blooming everywhere. Each step shakes off yesterday’s dust, A blank slate, a sky reborn— Intentions rise, ambitions thrust Toward new goals on this new morn. The mind unfurls, clean and awake, Peace and solitude embrace— With every stride, my spirit surpasses Old limits—I grow, I chase

Dew on the grasses. Morning’s gift: a moment pure, To focus, breathe, and simply be— Here I run, alive, secure— My path begins again— Cloudia Charters

Instead of letting the 

hard times get me down, 

I've learned to keep going, 

to look for 

the hidden good.

Havaianas, the iconic Brazilian flip-flop brand, was created in 1962, inspired by the Japanese Zori sandal. Havaianas replaced the Zori's straw sole with rubber and added a rice grain pattern, a nod to its inspiration. The name, meaning "Hawaiians" in Portuguese, was chosen to evoke a sense of tropical paradise and vacation. Initially sold in blue and white, Havaianas became a staple for Brazilian workers and eventually gained global popularity. Havaianas were initially sold by traveling salesmen in Volkswagen Kombi vans,

The fact that I can plant a seed 

and it becomes a flower, 

share a bit of knowledge 

and it becomes another's,

- smile at someone and

receive a smile in return, 

are to me continual

spiritual exercises.

Where sunsets glow,

Aloha whispers secrets, 

In the Trade Winds 

that blow.

Gentle reminders

To just "Let be"

To value peace and 

Respect harmony.

One thing I have  learned 

enjoying birds is that 

they all fly differently, 

they all look different in flight, 

they have differently

 shaped wings

But they are 

all flying!

Life is what happens 

while you're 

making other plans.
