The Radical Kindness Club

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Bless the Earth I walk on, Bless the Air I breathe: Bless the Sun that warms me,
Bless the Rain that feeds.



Bless the Trees
that shade me,
Bless the Flowers
that bloom




Bless the Creatures
dwelling here,
Bless the World
that I call Home.



We are the
Radical Kindness Club
And we are here to
change the world.


We mentor children
And we show them
that they matter.
We are the
Radical Kindness Club
Here to
make a difference.


A Standing Sit
Raise your words,
not your voice.
It is rain that grows
flowers, not thunder

The Ducks Of Hope

A L O H A From Honolulu!
The light is there before me, I step into its glow, filled with hope,
I saunter into
light at the end
of the tunnel.



I know at the top, There is something for me,
that I have long
been searching for,
Something meant to be.


The ducks of hope are always there, Just waiting to help you through, don't ever forget about them, They're your friends and care about you.
They'll quack and they'll waggle And do a little dance, Before you know it,
you'll be smiling, at your fuzzy
sycophants!






If you can't meditate,
pause before every sip of coffee. If you can't pray, simply say
'thank you' before every meal. If you can't manifest,
enjoy what's already yours. And if you can't journal,
talk to yourself in the car. There is no spirituality rulebook. Just show up for yourself... Vex King

Love You,
Cloudia & Pixie

Hope, abundance and prosperity are associated with Elephant as are wealth, good luck and playfulness. This is in part because of the young Elephant’s playful and carefree nature...
in some Eastern cultures, the spiritual meaning of a Baby Elephant relates to reconnecting to your playful inner nature and remembering how to have fun and romp in the sunshine.

Fine Moment At It's Own Speed

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Thank you to everyone who has expressed care about the fires on my neighbor island of Maui. It affects all of us in this small chain of islands and your care touches our hearts. Now back to Renewal:
My muse, a wanderer
from the days of old Seeks refuge here, where
pleasure reigns supreme And all is joy and mirth,
and none is old, No care nor sorrow mars
the hours serene.


Like the moon,
come out from
behind the clouds!
Shine!
Buddha 



Serenity is
the art of accepting



Amaryllis 
Harmony is the feeling
that arises from not wanting
to be somewhere else,
doing something else.
Raj Raghunathan


Back in the day, we
taxi drivers used to say:
"Don't take it personal."
Sometimes,
you pick up people
who bring along
their own gray cloud.
Don't carry their mood
after you have
dropped them off.
Just keep driving,
and don't take it personal.




This moment is fine.
  Naval Ravikant





Patience means allowing things
to unfold at their own speed
rather than jumping in with
your habitual response.

Let Every Sunrise

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Let every sunrise
adorn your mind with
the power of hope.
Let it paint your life
with the colors of
the morning sky.
Debasish Mridha



Whenever another person
is wrong,
spectacularly wrong, or
even dangerously wrong.
You still have two choices:
condemnation or compassion.
One is helpful. The other is
inflammatory and not helpful at all.*


If you can't make it better
refrain from making it worse



Now and then it's good
to pause in our pursuit
of happiness and just
be happy.
Guillaume Apollinaire



Begin viewing others
as different,
rather than wrong.
It will change your world.
Megan Rohrer

Find a beautiful place

refresh yourself over there;
how well you repose will
mostly determine how far

Noticing

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Wisdom is not gained
by knowing what is right.
Wisdom is gained by
practicing what is right,
and noticing what happens
when that practice succeeds
and when it fails.
Barbara Brown Taylor



What gets us into trouble
is not what we don't know.
It's what we know for sure
that just ain't so.
Mark Twain



Taking responsibility for events
that (you will argue)
were not your fault used to be
understood to be the occasional
burden of being an adult.
Miss Manners 



This Great Egret
is NOT a Duck:

Biologists say that
the duck's tail feathers
evolved to cover
it's butt quack.


Even though you're growing up,
you should never stop having fun.

In the afternoon,
the beauty of the world

and we find solace in its embrace.
