When flying between the Big Island and Oahu when we were visiting Hawaii a few weeks ago, I got this incredible picture of Kaho‘olawe - an uninhabited and protected island. Hawaii is made up of 137 islands and we only hear about 8 of them. This beautiful island got me thinking…why do we sometimes feel [...]
Did you ever feel like a volcano? About to erupt at any moment? On our recent trip to Hawaii, we actually got to see Kilauea erupting…we also got to see it on our very first trip to Hawaii in 1989! When we have an “extreme condition” that mirrors a volcano erupting in us, it [...]
You might have seen my LinkedIn posts that I spent a week in Hawaii a few weeks ago. Since this series is about my Random Thoughts, I had several when it comes to all things Hawaii. I want to start with the strong culture that Hawaii has since we can learn many things as [...]
I love the song “I Am Not Okay” by Jelly Roll, it starts by talking about how he is barely getting by and how he loses sleep at night. It continues to talk about how sometimes he wants to just stay in bed! (take a listen if you haven’t) Haven’t we all been there? [...]
One of my favorite topics to write about and talk about is leadership. Exhibiting great leadership qualities can help you excel in your career and the continued development of leadership traits will get you noticed and increase your marketability. When we talk about leadership and specifically leadership traits what do we mean and why [...]
In this week’s Random Thoughts, I felt the need to write about Accelerate Action which is the theme for International Women’s Day which is coming up on Saturday, March 8th. I love the theme but what does it really mean? Focusing on the need to Accelerate Action emphasizes the importance of taking swift and decisive steps [...]
I just finished an amazing series about Disney Princesses (about 18 weeks worth of princesses to be exact)! I had so many of you reach out to tell me that you loved the series and that one particular princess really resonated with you. Thank you so much for enjoying that series as it was [...]
So I know that I did not cover every Disney Princess in this series and as well there are several Disney characters that are not officially part of the Disney Princess lineup. Women like Jane Porter from Tarzan, Maid Marion from Robin Hood, Giselle from Enchanted and even Vanellope von Schweetz from Wreck-it-Ralph could [...]
In my final princess post about Why I Love Disney, I want to talk about Minnie Mouse. Minnie is not considered a princess by Disney standards in that she has not been the lead character in any Disney feature film. That being said she is portrayed as kind, caring, and resourceful, and is beloved [...]
So yes, this is my Why I Love Disney series and it may seem weird to talk about Miss Piggy but the Muppets became part of Disney in 2004 and it also is true that Miss Piggy is not a princess but she is a star in her own right. Kermit and Piggy aren’t just two [...]
