Beach Walk 751 - Yoshiko Moving to Hawaii
We meet the loveliest people through Beach Walks. A while ago I met Yoshiko Hino, a viewer from Japan who connected with me on Twitter. Like myself, she has visited Hawaii many times and fell in love with the place! She is now making plans to move here. ...
Beach Walk 745 - USS Nimitz Steel Beach #2
Meet Captain Mike Manazir who tells us to ask any question, take pictures and videos, talk to the sailors, no restrictions. Right away with the Captain you will get a feeling for the people on board. One of my fellow travelers, Olwen Huxley, summed it up ...
Beach Walk 744 - USS Nimitz Steel Beach #1
Who knew after all my disco years dancing to the tune of "in the navy" I would be a DV on a US Navy Aircraft Carrier? Shane and I spent an overnight on the USS Nimitz - a 4.5 acre steel beach. We've got several episodes for you, as of course we couldn't ...
Beach Walk 742 – Huli Heaven
It's been a long time since we've been out on the water together. Our friends Eric, Stacey, and Kaile got a new 4-man outrigger canoe. Shane, Eric, and I took it out - saving a seat for you! I have missed being on the water, and hope you enjoy this ...
Beach Walk 741 – Silence is Divine
I went on a 5-day silent intensive with Lola Jones a few weeks ago. For me it was pure heaven. I have in the past done 24 hours of silence on my birthday, and loved the clarity I experienced. To be able to ignore all others and go within myself for ...
Beach Walk 739 – Roz Savage Rowing Strong
Roz is one of those people you meet who is unforgettable. She has rowed solo across the Atlantic, and is now one-third of the way across the Pacific. She has been featured as a top adventurer by Outside Magazine. She recently met Al Gore as part of her ...
Beach Walk 738 – Version Control
A few weeks ago I talked about updating the database. And there is a tricky aspect of that. If you are updating an old version of the database, then you miss out on stuff! This happens, sadly, all the time when more than one person has access to a master ...
Beach Walk 737 – Uber Shaman & His Pups
As I have said many times before, "you meet the coolest people on the beach in Hawaiʻi!" Today we met Chris SantaCroce, aka Uber Shaman. It was his birthday, and he was starting the day at the beach with his puppies. He is a renaissance man - doing ...
Beach Walk 734 – Updating the Database
Updating my database: servers do it automatically every few in some cases- the Internet is so smart, it knows we are constantly changing! One of the things I am changing is feeling under-appreciated. I had this awareness that I get my satisfaction and ...
Beach Walk 735 – Spring Bikini Edition
I've been conducting a very lackadaisical campaign on Beach Walks over the past three years to change attitudes about bikinis aka the Bikini Liberation Front. We mostly approach them from the point of view of bikini watchers, not bikini wearers. It is so ...
Beach Walk 733 – Numbers Have Energy
Our car is 6.5 yrs old but has only 40,000 miles (eh - living on an island!) I have way more miles in my frequent flier accounts than the odometer of the Ford Escape. Statistics can prove anything. Old Thinking: That’s bad! New Thinking: Use math ...
Beach Walk 732 – The Stress of New Things
I love reiterating some of our recurring human experiences with the goal of going easier on ourselves. This episode is a reminder of how stressful it can sometimes be to learn new things, as in the case of my nephew Tyler who is learning to drive. ...
Beach Walk 731 – Juggle!
One of the things that is becoming well understood these days is how no one knows everything and how we can really benefit from providing energetic support to each other. One way this plays out, is in how the Beach Walks philosophy has contributed to a ...
Beach Walk 730 – Kaile Paddles to Flat Island
Kaile is a regular visitor on Beach Walks, and she always brings a smile. Her dad Eric has been teaching her all about Hawaiian water sports, and so far she loves them all! In this episode, she paddles a 20' long one man outrigger canoe by herself, then ...
Beach Walk 728 – Winter Lumiere
Lumiere is a film tradition involving a fixed camera, no editing whatsoever, and typically even no sound. I left the sound in though as I love hearing the waves. Scroll down to the bottom of any page to see a list of all the categories. I love this style ...
Beach Walk 727R – Freedom & Happiness
Freedom and happiness really influence myon life and what I choose to let go of in order to have the freedom and the happiness. This whole thread this week actually started with someone in my yoga class complaining about dirty hand prints on the ...
Beach Walk 726R – Binary Zen
Binary refers to how computers work: things basically boil down to ones and zeros. It makes for a very black and white appearance. Yet I am meeting more and more geeky guys who have an artful and spiritual side which I consider the opposite of 1-0. There ...
Beach Walk 725R – Deeply, Oddly, True
We watched an episode of The Iconoclasts last night with surfer Laird Hamilton and Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder. Both are celebrities of course, and they also are living their true natures, deeply and truly. What if permission isn't required to be ...
Beach Walk 724 – Pau Hana
This episode was filmed last Friday - what a perfect way to start a week! My friend Eric got some new Hero cameras and mounted them on his canoe. You get a great range of perspectives, and of course Eric's daughter Kaile, makes an appearance near the ...
