I was listening to the Gilmore Gang podcast yesterday, as Jason Calacanis talked about a new video podcast he is starting with Podtech. He has negotiated with his sponsors (and plans to do the same with his guests) to donate money from every episode to a private school in NY, to pay the way for foster kids in Brooklyn to attend.

Beach Walk 246 - Passionate and not Invested

Being passionate about something yet detached from the results is a real “zen” thing to accomplish, yet I tackle these sorts of goals every day! I try to see how much I can tap into my true preferences, and then, “drop it” and let the universe take over for me. After all, there’s much more going on than I can see from behind my own eyes.

Beach Walk 245 - Islands of Space and Time

Islands are wonderful metaphors. The weather is almost always different on the other side, and it reminds me I too can go somewhere else.

Beach Walk 242 - Debunking Double Standards

One of the discussion lists I read was talking about how the Cardinal of Boston has started a blog that does not accept comments.

Beach Walk 239 - Home Is Where The Heat Is

I’ve realized thus for some time: certain climates are much more physiologically stressful to me than others. Being a largely Vata body type, dryness and cold are hard for me, whereas warm, humid environments are very soothing. Although I love the beauty and my long time friends in New Mexico, I find the climate creates a constant hum of stress on me, especially spring and fall when the juniper and chamisa allergies are rampant!

For those of you who are new here, I usually walk the beach with my dog Lexi in HawaiÊ»i. But I am on the road traveling for my job, so you get to come along with me! I like to think of Beach Walks as much as an attitude as a place. A place where we explore the edges of the known world, and think differently.

Back when I learned about the dark side of sunscreen, I was also hearing about problems with sunglasses. I am going to change my habits and see what happens.
