Remember when we were young, dreaming of all the things we would do. We talked outside of my parents' house really late until the hidden sun's faint glow turned the skies dark blue. Now, years later, we can look back and smile for doing all the things we wanted to do. Ahead of us, bigger dreams, bigger goals. Let's keep pushing forward, through our ebbs and flow. For as long as we exist, we'll continue to grow. - poem, +positive masters, Jon Riki Karamatsu, 2/14/2020 - While talking with my good friend Brandon Mitsuda, I took a picture of this night rainbow, created by the misty white glow from the big moon in Waikele, Hawaii on Monday February 10, 2020....

None of us can predict when and how we will die. If you can fully embrace the unpredictability of your death, you will truly live in the present and appreciate every moment before you now. - +positive masters+, Jon Riki Karamatsu, 1/20/2020 - On Thursday, January 17, 2020, my mom called my cell phone. Her voice was filled with elation and joy, "Mia got the job at Stanford University!"

If you're facing a dispute or litigation, all you can do is present your side of what happened. After that, it's up to the trier of fact, whether it be a mediator, arbitrator, judge, or jury. If they side with you, great! However, if they don't, tell yourself that you did what you could. Continue to do what you can, but don't let your stress destroy your health or suck the joy out of your life. My friends, I know it's tough. The truth will always live in you. Your life means a lot to those who love you.
