Our Faces

Aloha From Honolulu!

An ounce of goodness

everyday, Can soothe

the heart in many ways,

An ounce of goodness

'just because'

Don't wait until Christmas

to be Santa Claus.

       Charmaine J. Forde

We have evolved to be

caretakers of one another's

emotional well being. *

The power of finding beauty

in the humblest things

makes home happy

and life lovely.

Louisa May Alcott

If you are confident

in your beliefs,

you do not need to

enforce them.

You only need to live them.

If you are humble, and your

belief is valid, you will see it in

different faces wherever in the

world you roam.

Wayne Dyer

That's when you know for sure

somebody loves you.

They figure out what you

need and they give it to you -

- without you asking. Adriana Trigiani

Brightening

Aloha From Honolulu!

Come forth into

the light of things, let

nature be your teacher.

   William Wordsworth

The darkness

of the whole world

cannot swallow the

glowing of a candle.
Robert Altinger

It's Christmas time
in the city!

I never know what I'm

going to put on the canvas.

The canvas paints itself.

I'm just the middleman.

Peter Max

We cannot hold a torch

to light another’s path

without brightening

our own.

With You

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm that is not easily disturbed. It is just these intense conflicts and their conflagration

which are needed to produce

valuable and lasting results. Carl Jung

In quiet moments,

thoughts take flight,  

With you, my friend,

they find their light.  

In solitude,

I’ve often roamed,  

Yet in our words,

I feel at home.  

     Cloudia Charters

Even the darkest night

will end and

the sun will rise.

Victor Hugo

As one grows older

one should grow more expert

at finding beauty in

unexpected places, in deserts

and even in towns, in

ordinary human faces and

among wild weeds.

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 Changing the world 

begins with the

very personal process 

of changing yourself,

the only place you can

begin is where you are, 

and the only time you

can begin is always now. 

  Gary Zukav

Gratitude makes sense of

our past, brings peace

for today, and creates

a vision for tomorrow.

    Melody Beattie

Kind words not only 

lift our spirits

in the moment 

they are given, 

but they can 

linger with us 

over the years. 

                 Joseph B. Wirthlin

When you are in alignment

 with who-you-really-are, 

you cannot help but uplift 

those with whom 

you come into contact.

                     Abraham-Hicks

Cherish forever what

makes you unique, 'cuz

you're really a yawn

if it goes.

    Bette Midler

And we are put on this earth

 a little space

 that we might learn

 to bear the beams 

of love

Aloha From Honolulu!

Gentle waves are painting

Stories on the shore,

Foamy lines that whisper tales

Of all that came before.

The heart is the only

broken instrument

 that works.

Shell Ginger & Bee

To make a prairie

it takes a clover

and one bee,

One clover, and a bee,

And revery.

The revery alone will do,

If bees are few.

Birds sing after a storm; 

why shouldn't people feel 

as free to delight in 

whatever sunlight 

remains to them?

Guard well your spare moments.
They are like uncut diamonds.
Discard them and their value
will never be known.
Improve them
and they will become
the brightest gems
in a useful life.

the hours are short.
