Both of these gentle men possess very loving and powerful energy. Cesar is a dog trainer and is known as the Dog Whisperer while Eddie Murphy is the comedian from Saturday Night Live, Beverly Hills Cop, Shrek, and so much more.

I sing the praises of Secret Cameraman’s awesome thank you notes. My dad still talks about one he received several months ago. I’m wishing we’d been saving a copy; they would make a nice blog. :-)

Watch this episode to find out about traffic jams local style. You can also read more about it in the Star-Bulletin.

Mahalo to Amy and Joe for your Kaimoku donations!

Beach Walk #308 – Ode to Thank You Notes

Rainy day so I’ve been catching up on thank you notes; it’s a nice way to keep the energy flowing I think.

Some people think it is old-fashioned, but I am still a proponent. I don’t think gratitude goes out of style!

Curiously enough, I did two takes on this. There was a couple in the car next to me who started having a loud fight, and I wanted to spare us all that. Yes, even in Hawai’i people get frustrated and worked up.

Mahalo to the donations that are coming in for Kaimoku. That’s for you Steve (both of you!), Jonnie, Dave, Dorothy, Marcia and Nancy. The lead person in the band has a new keiki (child) so this unexpected gift will come in very handy!

Hawaiian words
Mahalo: thank you

Beach Walk #307 – Fear or Fun? It’s Personal.

A little more on the fear thing and how incredibly personal and subjective it is; it’s not the absolute something we would imagine.

Say what?? Just that what is scary to one person is a total laugh to another. It is not the thing or the experience that makes it scary, but rather one’s very own private experience of it.

There are a lot of things you and I can do when fear strikes though. First (which I didn’t mention in the show) is decide if there is bona-fide danger present, or is it the feeling of danger. In the boat the other day, it felt like danger even though my mind had facts to suggest otherwise. (Read comments from yesterday’s show for more on this.)

If it truly is dangerous, then breathe, and focus on getting out of the situation. if not, if it’s feelings of fear more than actual danger, try something like EFT to help transition the anxiety out of the body.

Hawaiian words
Makaʻu: fear
