Beach Walk 193 – Keeping Kool in Kona

Traveling to Kona on the Big Island today.

h3. About Today’s Show

Secret Cameraman and I are in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii for this week on a working retreat. Travel of course is a consciousness-expanding experience as normal life is suspended in favor of adventures into the unknown. It is also sometimes met with so-called problems, like entering our room and discovering dirty sheets and dirty dishes and dirty towels. Oops! Somehow the cleaning crew skipped us.

But instead of having a self-righteous hissy fit, S.C. called the front desk, and in 30 minutes all was well. Give aloha, get a clean room lickety split!

It’s the start of a new week. May I suggest you keep an eye out for someone to whom you can cut some slack, and spread some aloha?

We got a great fare, just $39 OW on Go!.

Beach Walk 192 – Be here. Be now.

September 2, 2006 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , |

When waiting on someone else to move, I prefer to stay focused on here and now, not there and when.

h3. About Today’s Show

It’s no fun waiting on someone else to make a move. Whether it’s a business or personal, the romancing process is filled with unknowns and so easily triggers one’s (my!) insecurities – aka the #2 aspect of the personality. So incredibly often though, it is a case of “right timing.” Just all the details working themselves out. Information being gathered. The planets aligning themselves. Whatever. But until there is a clear call to action, I think the best thing to do is move my attention away from “over there” and instead keep my focus on myself. No sense cluttering up the energy “over there” with my worries and stories about what may be happening.

That doesn’t mean I have to wait “forever” – I can choose to act at any time. Nor do I have to let the #2 to monitor everything, as that creates pressure in and of itself I think. And I prefer less pressure. After all, I am not interested in deals that are not to both people’s benefit. Cornering someone into something? Not my style on either side of the corner.

Closing Song: Turtle Tim for Heidi in the UK 🙂
