Beginning today, I will share my Gratitude & Hope list. 

I welcome you to share your gratitude & hope list.  

And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace ISAIAH 9:6

I am ever grateful for

my life,

my health,

my husband,

my family,

my friends,

my coworkers,

kind strangers who hold 

doors open for me and make other kind gestures,

those who have taught, mentored, shared their experiences & knowledge with me,

those who have shared their gifts & resources with me,

those who shared a kind & inspiring word with me

I have decided that this will be a very good year.

My Hope List are things I hope for both for myself and others.

My hope is for each person I know or have met this past year to experience

true joy, peace & love this Christmas. 

I hope for everyone to enjoy prosperity and comforts in the new year; for those who did without this year to have plenty in the new year; for those who lost a loved one this year to find peace & comfort in the new year; for those who were unemployed to find a good job with benefits in the new year; for those who had no food and basic resources this year to find abundance in all things in the new year; I hope that my hubby and I will enjoy good health the coming year.

May 2018 be the year your very own hopes & dreams are fulfilled and sustained.

God bless us, everyone! 

Fill your life with adventures, not things.  Have stories to tell not stuff to show.

Hafa adai islanders!  Today I have sunshine-y inspiration for you!  While I don't care to be in the hot sun, I do appreciate what it does for us and our islands.  Have an awesome, sunshine-y day! <3 

Sunny days

Bring your own sunshine

Grow through what you go through

12Dec17, IslanderView post on "Christmas At Our House"

Hafa adai islanders!

I'm so excited that soon we will be publishing our first FEW digital magazines, four to be exact just this month!  Feeling awesome here! 😁

It's refreshing and rejuvenating to be able to create something that you put your whole self into.

Signing up for Michelle Pier's 5 ESSENTIALS FOR NOURISHING THE CREATIVE SPIRIT IN YOU has reaffirmed I am using my creative spirit in a way that makes me feel great and, hopefully, benefits others in a positive way.

"Christmas At Our House" will be a publication dedicated to my mom, Teofila Mendiola Cruz Flores, aka Tilly, and the Christmas experiences & traditions at my home all of which she surrounded us, 6 children, 12 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren.

I feel as if she's with me whenever I remember her in any little way and I hope you will all enjoy the dedicated work, coming out very soon!  I hope to share with you by this weekend... next Wednesday at the latest.

Immediately following Christmas At Our House, we will have 3 issues on Michelle Pier of Creative Indeed and her journey in the art/creative world, Dr. Matilda Naputi Rivera on her career and role in education, and Mrs. Adriana Mafnas Guamtaotao and her 2 daughters, Adonna-Lynn & Anjelica-Ann who share their mother and daughter lives as islanders in Anchorage, Alaska.

Thank you for your friendship.  FELIS PASGUA! Merry Christmas to all!

SEEK FEEDBACK, IGNORE CRITICISM. ~Anonymous

If you can't be true to yourself how can you be true to anyone else?

Be strong but not rude.  Be kind but not weak.  Be humble but not timid.  Be proud but not arrogant.
