Yours

Aloha From Honolulu!

Today's a new day.
It's your day.
You shape it.
Don't let it be shaped by
someone else's
ignorance or fear.
   Steve Maraboli





Honolulu, 5 December, 2024

It cost nothing
to wish others well.
Even at a distance,
you are
the one who
benefits most
after all.

The next message
you need is always
right where you are.
Ram Dass


It is how people respond to stress that determines whether they will profit from misfortune or be miserable. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi




When something finds you,
pause and see, Whispers the universe:
"meant to be."
A creature, a moment,
Idea gleaming true, In all of these
there's meaning for you.

Small is grand
And grand is small The wisdom of life
Moves through it all.
Cloudia Charters

Once we embrace
What unites us as one  
Renewing our kinship
A new journey's begun.  

Each seed that we plant
in the soil of our days,  
Cultivates peace in 
innumerable
ways.

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.
      C. C. Vyvyan

Clara Coltman Vyvyan was an
Australian-born travel writer.
She published under the names

Linger


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




California Oak in Marin County CA

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 
William Blake
