Allow yourself to become
enthralled once in a while.

of yourself that you

leave at every meeting

From

Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace. Frederick Buechner

Do not forget small kindnesses and do not remember small faults. Chinese Proverb

You carry greatness

disguised in

tiny potentials.

Real Hawaiian-

Magic Of Second Chances

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Photography is

a love affair with life. Burk Uzzle

Be tough the way

a blade of grass is:

rooted, willing to lean,

and at peace with

what is around it.

Natalie Goldberg

Slow down. Calm down.

Don’t worry. Don’t hurry. Trust the process. Alexandra Stoddard

Pixie 2015

The best things in life are rescued. Second chances happen

the moment you open

your heart to a shelter pet. Sometimes the pet you save

ends up saving you. Adopting a rescue means believing

in the power of redemption, the

beauty of new beginnings, and

the magic of second chances.

Friend To Yourself

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully. Steve Maraboli

Common Waxbill

(Estrilda astrild)

Native to Africa. Seen in Hawaiʻi since late 1970s.

The sunny soul 

brings sunshine

 everywhere. 

A bright and 

happy temperament

 is a great social asset, 

adding to the happiness 

of the world. 

   Hugh Black

When you don't

know what to say,

let stillness answer first.

Empty your hands,

Put down the phone,

empty your thoughts

So the truth can rise

Like dawn. Or like thunder.

Listen for the voice

you would offer to a friend,

the patient one

of simple mercy.

Now,

bring that voice home

To yourself.

It was never far away.

Be a friend to yourself.

Beer kegs drift 

on a moonlit tide,

Round little rebels 

with nothing to hide.

They bob like whales 

in a lager sea,

Full of bold bubbles 

and mischief 

and glee!

Light Finding Somewhere To Cling

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

It is only in our darkest hours that we may discover the true strength of the brilliant light within ourselves that can never, ever, be dimmed. Doe Zantamata

In the street’s 

spilled mirror, 

color dreams itself,

Accidental cosmos 

of gasoline ghosts,

 And light finding

 somewhere 

to cling.

   Pixie

Most of life is normal days,

so to be in love with them is to be in love with life. Donna Britt

I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real, unconditional love. You can find it in a simple act of kindness toward someone who needs help. It is the common fiber of life, the flame that heats our soul, energizes our spirit and supplies passion to our lives.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
