Beach Walk #251 – It’s Raining, It’s Pouring, or Not

20 plus hours of rain and it's pouring clichés!


Beach Walk #250 – Witch’s Brew

The witches were out on the water reminding me to cackle away my worries about the shadow side of life.


Beach Walk #249 – Happy Birthday to Lexi!

Mahalo nui loa to all of you who sent her greetings and pictures and sand dollars. We love you! (And I'm just a little sad I didn't give more advance notice...)


Beach Walk #248 – Give without Guilt

I was listening to the Gilmore Gang podcast yesterday, as Jason Calacanis talked about a new video podcast he is starting with Podtech. He has negotiated with his sponsors (and plans to do the same with his guests) to donate money from every episode to a private school in NY, to pay the way for foster kids in Brooklyn to attend.


Beach Walk #247 – Zero to Tahiti

Kris is a great example of someone over 40 discovering something new she loves and pouring herself into it wholeheartedly and wholebodily. I can't begin to tell you the many hurdles a new paddler faces — physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual challenges. Being able to tap into your love of the activity to get through all of these is clearly one of Kris's secrets.


Beach Walk #246 – Passionate and not Invested

Being passionate about something yet detached from the results is a real "zen" thing to accomplish, yet I tackle these sorts of goals every day! I try to see how much I can tap into my true preferences, and then, "drop it" and let the universe take over for me. After all, there's much more going on than I can see from behind my own eyes.


Beach Walk #245 – Islands of Space and Time

Islands are wonderful metaphors. The weather is almost always different on the other side, and it reminds me I too can go somewhere else.


Beach Walk #244 – Surf’s Up!

My friend Lana called on her way home from work who said her boyfriend Chris had heard from the guys who cut their grass (and a lot of beach front homes too) that big waves were in town. I just love that word-of-mouth! So we all headed over to Kailua Beach with the boogie board and caught some great rides.


Beach Walk #243 – Painters’ Perspectives

Mark Brown and Spencer Chang were doing plein air painting on the beach today. Spencer is the student, Marc is the instructor. Marc is very happy to be making a living at painting, and he shares his tips with us on how he made the transition to doing what he loves.


Beach Walk #242 – Debunking Double Standards

One of the discussion lists I read was talking about how the Cardinal of Boston has started a blog that does not accept comments. The discussion quickly veered off of the structure, "comments yes or no" and into the abuse issues of the Boston diocese. It's a classic case of double standard - where by the content of the situation (who the blogger is) over-rode the structure (what are the basic blogger bill of rights?)
