Beach Walk 697 - Negotiation Secrets

beachwalks — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 10:18:03 GMT

I've been putting on this large Free event, Podcamp + Wordcamp Hawaii and we have had many sponsors. It's been a great learning opportunity for me in noticing why some deals work better than others.

Beach Walk 696 - For the love of paddling

beachwalks — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 06:48:09 GMT

Join me as I chat with a friend of mine and Lanikai Canoe Club keiki coach Ricky Bermudez. The kids are 8 to 10 years old, and though the official season is over, Ricky still meets with them once a week on Sundays so they can continue paddling. That is truly the Aloha spirit in action.

Hawaiian Word:
Hoe: paddle
Keiki: child, children

Beach Walk 695 - Paying for the Sins of Each Other

beachwalks — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:27:03 GMT

I've been sorting out this financial bailout situation, and living on an island, we are reminded how inter-connected we are. I stumbled a bit with my thoughts in this episode, but the bottom line for me is to figure out what I can do and what I cannot do, along side taking time out to vent and bleed off the physical and emotional frustration I feel.

Beach Walk 690 - Rama Warrior Meditation Chair

beachwalks — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 09:14:04 GMT

Beach Walks has a new advertiser, Zen by Design. Today's episode takes place seated on one of their lovely meditation chairs, which we took out to a rocky point on the edge of the bay. Most people know I am due for some quiet time, and this chair is supporting me in doing that. The company was gracious enough to send us a free chair to sample. And for you they have a special offer too. If you purchase a Rama Warrior Meditation Chair, you receive a Free Zendi Portable Meditation Cushion. Sounds like a perfect plan for you serious meditators who travel to and from various classes, or maybe you want to gift a friend with one and keep the other for yourself. I can envision these in a corner of an office - it's like having a meditation room, in a very spare uncrowded sense.

I'd like to know what you think of this, and please do send in your photos (or post them in the Reef) if you end up making a purchase! It goes without saying for our eclectic Beach Walks audience that you can pray or work on your laptop as well as officially meditate in the chair! You get to decide how it works for you. Lexi was doing her own sitting meditation quietly today; I suspect she may want to try out the chair too!

Hawaiian Word:
Noho m?lie: sit quietly

Beach Walk 688 - Things We Don't Undestand

beachwalks — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 07:41:02 GMT

This past year the volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii has been very active. Periodically we have "vog" - a combination of volcanic ash and fog. The skies are gray, and the air quality is "suspect." I recently read a state federal health official stating: We really don't know what the health effects might be. I really admired Rich Nickle for speaking the truth in that way. We are all so smart these days, and quick to blame or feel entitled, when really, there is far more unknown than known. And after today's stock market experience, it seems as relevant as ever to "cultivate comfort with uncertainty" while paying attention to your own specific requirements. Some people (children and the elderly in particular) tend to be more sensitive to the vog. Your mileage may vary.

Hawaiian Word:
Maopopo: understand

Beach Walk 687 - Looks Terrible But...

beachwalks — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 09:44:03 GMT

We saw my friend Paul on the beach today - he was smartly walking instead of swimming due to the bloom of Portuguese Man-o-war (tiny jellyfish) in the bay (there's a picture of one inside this episode). Me? I swim regardless, and curiously enough was planning to talk about how "bad" my sting looks from a few days before. I wanted to show it to you so you could employ mind over matter to unplug the automatic responses we have to wounds and ugliness. Talking about change is one thing, but actually having opportunities to make change in our neurons is another. Not to worry; it will be all gone in a few days.

Beach Walk 686 - Does Experience Matter?

beachwalks — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 09:12:02 GMT

One of the big myths floating around is that a person's position or title is comparable to their competence. Not always true! Like me, I am sure you can think of examples. Many choices in life really do boil down to personal preferences. "Who you know" really does matter, and that is not always a bad thing. This turned out to be relevant in a discussion I was having with several other women speakers. We are all going to be presenting at BlogWorldExpo next week, where there keynote speakers are all white male. It's an old issue, but one that is not all that easy to address. It is a combination of micro and macro energies in play. We have ideals we want to play out in the macro yet change happens in the micro of person to person relationships.

Beach Walk 685 - In Support of Changemakers

beachwalks — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 09:37:01 GMT

One of the profound yet not often acknowledged (by me) benefits of living in community with other people is that some choose to be the ones who go forward into the unknown, and those adventures ultimately inform and inspire the rest of us. I often think of myself as one of those explorers. Sometimes though, I feel pressure to have to always be on the front line. Today's episode honors those others who have shown me the way, especially my parents, Blanche and Bill.

Loli: change, transformation

Beach Walk 684 - Sorting Out Travel Energy

beachwalks — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 07:13:02 GMT

Seems the more I travel the easier it is for me to get cranky. Today, a RT fare from HNL to DTW to HNL cost $700 but a one-way fare cost $1100! That is not about fuel prices...

Anyway, I am learning to just pull my aura in and focus on myself, in the midst of the madding crowds. And curiously, after an hour or so, people are not bothering me. It's this concept of "hui hui" or blending together without actually having to interact. We get trapped into thinking other people have to change for us to be happy or content, but really, sometimes all that's necessary is to just let it be and focus inward. Have you found this works for you?

Hui hui: blending, comingle together

Beach Walk 683 - The Past is Gone

beachwalks — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 18:41:04 GMT

More Twitter inspiration, this time from my friend in the Bay Area Jen Myronuk. There is a very popular sentiment - to reminisce on the past and believe that things back then were "always better" that life today is a mess and getting messier. I choose not to go there today. It does not serve me to think the good old days are all gone. I know change is easier for some than others, but really, isn't that 101 stuff right? Why be sad over things we cannot change when we can put energy on the things we can affect, the people we do love? Pleas join me in the present; it's pretty cool too.

Ka w ai hala: past
I keia manawa: now

Beach Walk 682 - Go With The Flow

beachwalks — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 09:43:01 GMT

As you know I have these dialogs in my head. Sometimes when I am stressed a voice says "just go with the flow." But another voice says, "No! That is too passive!" Today I actually figured out the confusion in this and am happy to share it with you, in case it helps.

Beach Walk 677 - An Investment in Friendship

beachwalks — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 08:55:04 GMT

We are still traveling hence the light shows this week. We filmed this last week so we would all have an extra dose of beautiful Hawaii! It's about a different way of looking at love, using friendship rather than romance as the guide. Ever notice how we treat friends better than lovers, once the relationship has been around for a while? I think we sometimes expect too much of a partner, as if somehow love means losing me in favor of your wishes. This episode was inspired by something my mom told me - and her birthday is this weekend by the way. We'll be honoring her 84 years of determination and self-reliance, generosity and indeed good friendship.

Beach Walk 681 - The Energy of Tasks

beachwalks — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 08:12:05 GMT

LIke many people, I set out an agenda for the day with a list of action items. Some items seem to take forever to get done though, and I have come to relaize that not all tasks are created equal! They each actually require a certain level of attentiona nd energy, and a select few really require a lot of focus and privacy, several hours free of any distractions.

Beach Walk 680 - Balance is Not Always Better

beachwalks — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 10:08:01 GMT

Balance is one of those concepts that it is easy to be lulled into assuming is always preferable. But in reality, balance has a time and place, as does its opposite! For me, being able to know when balance is preferable or not, helps me manage my energy and my goals too. Today's show was inspired by a Twitter comment from Francis Shepard.

Hawaiian Word:
ho'okaulike: to balance evenly

Beach Walk 678R - Use Data to Build Confidence

beachwalks — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 07:37:00 GMT

Please enjoy this summer replay!

Some people are confident naturally; here are some tips for the rest of us. My friend Chris Brogan recently recorded a podcast about it. Today's episode of Beach Walks (filmed on an amazing day!!) came from my decisions to "swim first" and do the show second. One of the ways I've learned to build confidence is to be able to resist my feelings, and use data to inform my decisions and actions. That pesky #2 personality is frequently there to play the emotion card, which can keep us thinking and feeling "one down."

Beach Walk 676 - What's the Opportunity?

beachwalks — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 08:18:16 GMT

We had a last minute change of plans recently. At first I found it very disorienting. Then Shane helped me by asking, "What's the opportunity here?" And that single question opened up a whole new way of looking at things. We don't always know best ahead of time; sometimes "even better" shows up unannounced.
