Dare to Live Your Dream
Sunset Pa’ako Beach Makena Maui Hawai’i
“She whose gentle footfall and radiant face
Hold the power to charm more than a vision
Of chariots and the mail-clad battalions Of Lydia’s army.”
The gleaming stars all about the shining moon
Hide their bright faces,
when full-orbed and splendid In the sky she floats,
flooding the shadowed earth with clear silver light.”
Quoted by Eustathius of Thessalonica in the twelfth century. Sacred Texts

Aloha Mukesh, good morning :)
Mahalo for your kind note. It is wonderful to hear from you today.
We were in Hana most of the day yesterday attending the Festival of Aloha and had such great fun with many friends and members of our Ohana (family) in Hana Bay. The keiki (children) enjoyed playing many games as well, and we enjoyed some delicious meals. It was wonderful. I just logged on a few minutes ago as it is morning here on Maui. I am uploading the images taken yesterday. :))
I wish you a sparkling day. Mahalo for your kindness Mukesh.
