Best Advice Ever

 Royal Hawaiian Hotel Art

"The hotel commenced operations on 
1 February 1927, with a black tie gala 
attended by over 1,200 guests, quickly 
becoming  an icon of Hawaii's glory days."

"The secret of genius 
is to carry the spirit 
of the child 
into old age. . .
never losing 
your enthusiasm."

Best advice I ever got:
 treat children like adults 
and adults like children.

Half of the Pacific runs through my home. If I had stayed in Hawaii I would have been same same Cloudia, retired and at the end of a lot of stories.

 I would have been part of the community, of our small community anyway, and a kupuna* bearing memory and local stories & knowledge. 

But we came on an adventure. We started a new beginning, a new chapter. And that keeps you young, fresh and evolving. And not at the end yet. 

But just like people from Earth who make a home on the moon, I need to visit the home planet, to keep the connections fresh and real, not receding to memory. Then after some R&R I can come back to my exciting new adventure, still a Hawaii person in Marin, not a haole* snowbird who comes to Hawaii from time to time and sees only the outside face. I know where the family stay. 

Thank YOU
Friend!
