Hawaiian Word of the Day

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Holomua (ho-lo-moo-ah): 

To move forward with purpose.

A Hawaiian call to progress—together.

It speaks of growing in harmony, advancing with care,

and shaping a future where all can thrive.

A tide of progress guided by care for one another,

lifting the many, not the few.

It is the Hawaiian way—

to advance together, so the future may bloom.

Bloom

In muted light 

she opened slow,

a whisper 

where the soft winds go.

Spirit breathes 

through petal’s hue—

beauty at once

 ancient and  new.

No striving here, 

just pure release—

Orchid’s heart 

unfolding peace.

  Cloudia Charters

The best way

to capture moments is

to pay attention.

Mindfulness means

being awake.

Jon Kabat-Zinn

The greatest rebellion

is loving yourself 

in a world

trying to 

sabotage your light.

The blooming is when you

see yourself with kind eyes,

carry a little more grace

for your reflection, and

speak of forgiveness as if

it's your last name.

From the TV show Schitt's Creek,

spoken by the character Moira Rose, 

portrayed by Catherine O'Hara, 

Rest There

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Just for now.

Find a corner of your

soul that feels good.

Rest there.

Every contraction is naturally followed by an expansion; every time you feel your heart shrivel be confident that it will blossom in turn. Rumi

A rainbow is

a promise written in color across the gray, a hush between thunder and calm where the soul

remembers how to breathe.

To find the rainbow

you must face both

the rain and the light.

We're all on a golden journey- every one of us. A journey inspired by golden dreams.... please remember that every step is to be cherished. Every single one... Chris Heimerdinger

A single flower sways,

Bowing to 

the weight of dew

Neither resisting 

nor clinging,

It simply is...

Refuse to ruin a 

perfectly good today

about a 

bad yesterday

We all can find something

bad or imperfect

in each other. But

I prefer to look

for grains of gold.

My everyday life is not 

just walking around on clouds.

 But you have to give the 

really special things in life 

importance and not let the 

temporary things roll you 

off the road.

To continue and to continue

What was hard to bear

is sweet to remember.

A happy New Year!

Grant that I 

May bring no tear 

to any eye. 

When this New Year 

in time shall end 

Let it be said 

I've played the friend,

Have lived and loved 

and labored here, 

And made of it 

a happy year.

Rising Sun setting Moon

The secret of genius is

to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm. Aldous Huxley

Only rainbows after rain ....

The sun will always

come again.

   Andy Grammer

After the rain, the

sun will reappear.

There is life.

After the pain, the

joy will still be here.

    Walt Disney

Again let us dream 

where the land lies sunny 

And live, like the bees, 

on our hearts' old honey, 

Away from the world 

that slaves for money-- 

Come, journey the way with me.

Moon-Bow 1 January 2026

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

🌕

While scientific explanations describe a moonbow as a rare atmospheric phenomenon caused by moonlight refracting through water droplets, spiritual and symbolic interpretations focus on its ethereal beauty

and rarity:

Some people look on a moonbow 

as a spiritual sign,

A Great Invocation and Blessing 

laid like light across the dark.

A moonbow is a rainbow that 

has learned to sing.

Where the rain meets moonlight, 

the sky remembers beautiful things.

Hope does not always blaze; 

sometimes it bends softly 

across the night like a moonbow.

The moonbow is a reminder 

that even in the night, 

the covenant of light remains.

What better sign can 

there be of hope 

than a rainbow breaking 

through the darkness, 

a moonbow arching over 

every earnest prayer,

a moonbow only 

the patient will see?

   Cloudia Charters

Between the palms 

and the moon, 

the night remembers 

how to breathe.​

A smile happens in a flash, 

but its memory 

can last a lifetime.​

A single idea, a 

sudden flash of thought, 

can be worth more 

than a lifetime of routine.

​In a flash the mind 

understands 

what the heart has 

known for years.

Half of our mistakes in life arises from feeling where we ought to think, and thinking where we

ought to feel.
