It was shot by moi, on the little “Sanyo Xacti”:http://www.barefeetshop.com/shop.php?k=xacti&c=photo, there are water drops on the lens, it is a little over-exposed and a lot shaky, and of course I wanted more shots. But there was magic on the beach with Lexi this day. Then I heard this beautiful song on “Dave’s Lounge #106″:http://www.daveslounge.com/2008/02/19/daves-lounge-106/ and I had to put these ingredients together. Sometimes the energy is so much more than the technique – this is true for me, today.

This episode is dedicated to each of you loyal viewers, who so generously receive whatever we share, who shower us with love and affection, who even travel all the way from Canada (and soon from the UK I hope) and share some of your precious vacation time with us.

I don’t know how to thank the “Shanghai Restoration Project”:http://www.shanghairestorationproject.com/ featuring Di Johnston for this beautiful song. I already purchased two copies of the album on “iTunes”:http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=271612686&s=143441. I hope you will “purchase their music”:http://www.barefeetshop.com/music-301668-B0012JTQDA-Story_of_a_City.html to encourage more of this in our world. As for Dave, I have listened to his podcast from the first episode, and he stands in rare company to have been so focused from the start, and he only gets better.

Both girls are happy about that and it would appear Barbara also brought some amazing weather with her – the scenery today is absolutely stunning! This morning we were talking about buttons – the kind that trigger confusion and reactions in each other. I may want the other person to stop pushing, but in reality, the button resides with me. Barbara has a tip for getting a grip on the experience of “stop pushing my buttons!”

Beach Walk 596 – Favorite Things About Hawaii

We invited “Bob and Sue Schroeder”:http://www.beachwalks.tv/2008/02/19/beach-walk-590-bob-susans-hawaii-vacation/ from Canada over to visit our beautiful windward shores, to see something besides Waikiki.

They were walking, while Shane, Lexi, and I were swimming. As we came out of the water, I was approached by another couple, who had noticed Bob and Sue, then saw Lexi out swimming. “Are you Rox?” And so we met Jeanne and Tom from Minnesota! We didn’t have our usual gear, but we did have a lot of fun! Join us as they tell us some of their favorite discoveries about Hawaii, courtesy of Sue, a “Toastmasters”:http://www.toastmasters.org/ club president who came up with the “Table Topic!”

Beach Walk 595 – Cranky Geek

One of the online videos we watch on our Apple TV at home is “Cranky Geeks”:http://www.crankygeeks.com/. They cover tech topics, but one of my favorite aspects of the show is the name.

I just love how people are more and more choosing to be who they are. It was similar to what struck me in the Iconoclast episode with Laird Hamilton and Eddie Vedder I talked about in “Beach Walk 573″:http://www.beachwalks.tv/2008/01/21/beach-walk-573-deeply-oddly-true/. But I am often slow to allow that same awareness into my personal relationships, especially with Shane aka Secret Cameraman aka my own Cranky Geek. Being true to who you are is not just for celebrities any more!

Mahalo to Dave for providing today’s intro – what a great voice!

P.S. – Dave is my new friend, and is not (so far as I know) a “cranky geek.” Watch the episode to find out who is. :-)

Beach Walk 594 – Seeking the Simple

I was reading about the French trader who committed over $7 billion in fraud. People have discussed how to prevent this in the future.

Naturally many minds head towards complicated procedures, custom programming and tracking software and so forth, when actually, something as simple as a mandatory vacation away from the office can be a powerful intervention tool. I love it when very _simple and human_ remedies can be found. I am going to give extra attention this week to seeking simple solutions.
