but there are
moments that are.

your outfit can be

Hate leaves ugly scars,
Love leaves beautiful ones.

The world turns
on the prayers of crones, That follow grandchildren
wherever they roam. During the most dangerous
times of their life, Grannies' angels are there,
isn't that nice!

Find Your (Inner) Beach

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

There is a strong shadow
where there is much light.
                    Goethe







Any authentic creation
is a gift to the future.
Camus



Calotropis gigantea, the crown flower is native to Cambodia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, China, Pakistan, and Nepal.

Find something 
you’re passionate about 
and keep tremendously 
interested in it.
          Julia Child






In the mind's quiet 
release the weight,  
Let go of the shadows
That others create.  

In this space
where freedom sings
Angels whisper
Of wondrous things.  

Embrace the moment
Let ease unfold,  
In every heartbeat
stories are told.

No longer chained
By others' strife
I set my soul
Ablaze with life!
    Cloudia Charters


Aging is an extraordinary
process where you become
the person you always
should have been.

Ordinary Wholeness

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Music in the soul
can be heard
by the universe.
Lao Tzu






Wholeness is ordinary,
it's simple.
It doesn't come
with fireworks.
It's the undisturbed calmness
inherent to the space
that is you.
Laurie Buchanan







Anyone can love a rose,
but it takes a lot
to love a leaf.
It's ordinary to love
the beautiful, but it's
beautiful to love
the ordinary.
     MJ Korvan





Being happy doesn't mean
that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections. Gerard Way

If you pursue evil with pleasure, the pleasure passes away and the evil remains; If you pursue good with labor, the labor passes away but the good remains. Cicero

What You Most Like About Yourself

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

What qualities you admire 
most in other people. 
(This is what you 
most like about yourself.)
Brianna Wiest




Symphony of sunlight
warm and gold,
as day matures
Grace enfolds. -




-In golden hush
the tempo slows,
Legends of light
and shadow close. -




- On verdant leaves
a glittering dance,
casts dew alight in
 jewel speckled trance. -





- And at sunset
a performance of fire,
Clouds of glory
ablaze with desire.
   Cloudia Charters




Tension is who you 
think you should be. 
Relaxation is who you are.

Message Friends

A L O H A From 
H O N O L U L U

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.

Like angels consoling
through the night,  
We share all dreams,
All favors requite.  
Our conversations
Dance with wings,  
So natural with you:
These significant things!





. . .A bond's been woven,
Deep and true,  
Of everything I share
With you.  
Of all the things
You share with me
Instantly our hearts agree.

Thank you for being
My guiding star,  
My message friend,
No distance too far.  
Together we speak
In a sacred space,  
With every word
We find our grace.

So here’s my heart
In verses penned—  
Grateful always
For you, my friend.
        Cloudia Charters,

"Message Friend "

Be an encourager.
The world has plenty 
of critics already.
   Dave Willis




The greatest weapon 
against stress is our 
ability to choose one 
thought over another.
William James






The key to finding 
happiness in this life is 
realizing that the only way 
to overcome is to transcend; 
to find happiness in the 
simple pleasures, to master
the art of just being.
Brianna Wiest

battle more than once to win it.
