Big congrats to Lani Anglin. Hubby picked her name out of the hat Tupperware bowl first thing this morning. I can’t wait to send her Rosa’s book.
And, since you are dying to know…here are the answers to the bloggy challenge:
Kekuewa (Kay cu eva) – “Sassy”
Kauailani (kwhy ee lonnie) – “Flower from heaven”
Kahaunani (ka how non [...]
If you haven’t left a comment, made a guess, or considered yourself meme tagged, you still have time! The mail lady just left me a box…this beautiful, hardcover, autographed copy of Managing with Aloha , by Rosa Say, is waiting for you to win!
I have some great friends. I consider them to be my safety rope in the Chaos. They keep me from going it alone. I have been fortunate to make some really good ones – both here on the blogiverse, and in my local area.
Good friends challenge you. They encourage you to be a better person. [...]
Recommendations to the Reading Chair
I have said it so many times before…I know the coolest people. And you guys read the coolest stuff. I am really tired of finding great books to read and then forgetting who, what, and where.
So, if you all would be so kind as to let me know what you think [...]
The contest is moving along nicely – feel free to tell your friends…or not. You may not want the competition.
I talked to Rosa. She is putting the prize winning book in the mail today – signed…so, the winner gets an autographed copy of Managing with Aloha! How cool is that!
On to other news – thanks [...]
Just now…and that’s all I have to say about that.
So, I have been meme tagged by Chris Cree. And because I trust him to be a great filter, I am playing (not to mention the fact that I think memes are great fun).
He tagged me over at Making Life Work for You, but I am sure he will understand if I answer here at [...]
I was on a roll this weekend.
I had finished reading The Secret some time ago. While I don’t buy into all of it, there was some encouraging stuff in there. Being intentional about how my brain works, where my thoughts go, and what my energy is focused on has been very helpful.
My inbox is still [...]
Ok – I don’t typically get into real controversial stuff, but this is one opinion I just have to voice.
Disclaimer 1- I think dog fighting is horrific and completely support the offense being labeled as a felony with prison time as a just punishment.
Disclaimer 2 – I could care less if if Michael Vick continues [...]
And that is saying something in the world of Beautiful Chaos!
First – the things I did not do
Make a breakfast meeting – which I hate that I missed
Get my college enrollment letter in the mail – which I can do tomorrow
But – I did
Have lunch with a friend
Get my Constant Contact set up for Turn [...]
I try – I really do try. Lani had an excellent suggestion in time management. I read her schedule with great envy. So, employ the egg timer technique. Simple genius. With one flaw. I do not respect the egg timer. I set it, I work, it goes off, I continue to work…just a few more [...]
I am making a rule right now – there will never be more than 10 sitting messages in my inbox. OMG!!! I cannot believe I let it get so carried away (I deleted all the extra “ooooo” on the end of “so” – I am not a fan of a lot of creative spelling.)
There had [...]
I am stealing a Lizism and I hope she doesn’t mind. In fact, I am hoping she will be so flattered that she will dispense her expert advice on a question I cannot answer.
I have been thinking about (there’s the stolen item) blogging:
There’s not many folks in my area that blog on a regular basis. We [...]
I am getting used to my funky music affirmations I downloaded from ipopin. I don’t feel quite so weird hearing and repeating to myself these little one liners about how great I am gonna make life. Maybe because it’s working (not quite ready to release the possibility of coincidence.)
There is one on there that I really [...]
’twas my birthday on Saturday And we all know how much I LOVE birthdays. This one was no different. Husband strategically placed a wonderful card, lots of kisses from the girls, full inbox of well wishes, myspace was hopping, and mom made dinner. Did I mention I had to work? Even that went [...]
