In the photo is a Maneki-Neko statuette or Beckoning Cat. This is a Hawaiian version of a Japanese Maneki-Neko lucky figurine. Because it has it's right paw raised, doing the beckoning, according to some, this brings in good luck and wealth.
We received this carved cat from a past client who now lives in Hawaii and we enjoy the promise is gives.
Happy New Year to you and yours in 2017 with much good luck, good health and prosperity! Gloria and Doug (14 comments)
Love is a powerful thing: it can take you to the extremes in emotions from elation to deep sorrow. It can help you do the impossible and stop you in your tracks. Opening up your heart to love is the greatest gift we can experience as humans.
And opening up your heart to love involving a four-legged creature is to experience unconditional love for they do not share the same thought processes we do as humans.
My heart is aching because of such love. 16 (16 comments)
