Remember when you grew up watching Disney fairy tales, you actually believed a prince in shining armor on a white horse was going to show up and rescue you from your life? Then you grew up, got married and realized YOU were the prince who showed up for yourself and your friends! And then you […]
This morning I went for a 2 mile trail run on Walua Road in Kona, Hawaii. I ran uphill for about a mile and then decided to turn around when I saw a woman of about my age approaching and figured I’d use her as my inspiration for a faster run on the way back […]
I recently met Norman Bezona, the founder of the Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary and a 50 year veteran of tropical forestry here on the Big Island of Hawaii. He is what you would call, the man “who speaks for the trees”. He opened my eyes last weekend while I was up on his property doing a […]

Technically, “Big Data” is any data that lives […]

And the author states so much of the obvious in the post that went viral. 1. Create insightful content. (You know the kind that people will actually read without a bunch of […]
Watching the eulogies and remembrances of celebrities and friends at Whitney Houston’s memorial service today showed me once again, that although Whitney was a “star”, she was just a woman, wondering if she looked good enough, sang good enough and deserved all the accolades hoisted upon her. I remember the first time I heard and […]
