Persevere

A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U
Losing it Doesn’t mean You’ve lost it. Sometimes,
letting go Is how you find The strength to hold on. There is power In knowing Where your edges lie, A quiet freedom In being only human.



Now, unburdened, You are free To try, To stumble, And to rise. When you mess up, It’s no big deal. The world keeps spinning, And so can you.


Persevere. Let each mistake Be a gentle teacher, Each setback A stepping stone. You are not lost— You are learning How to begin Again. Cloudia Charters
 If we take care
 of the moments, 
the years will
 take care of 
themselves.

Love You,
Cloudia & Pixie

On the breeze, A gentle promise Alights on the trees.

This speaks with gentle wisdom—reminding us that surrender isn't weakness, but a courageous act of self-awareness and grace.
