I have been focusing on ways to create my videos faster and easier by developing my own system. It's working. I plan to have Martinique on YouTube by July 15. Actually, it should be ready any day now. But, I want to have about a 2 weeks between videos. So, I can also do my other projects. So, hang in there with me.

Aiming for a PAPERLESS OFFICE. BILL GATES.
I read that Billionaire Bill Gates has a paperless office. So, I am doing all I can figure out to get rid of most paper in my office. This is a H-U-G-E Challenge. Well, one paper at a time can do it. If ROZ SAVAGE can cross the PACIFIC OCEAN one row at a time, I guess I can do it with eliminating paper. Another thing I plan TO DO is to rid myself of my 10 year old Apple G3 computer, monitor, and a laser printer....all of them served me well. But, I have to move on with the latest technology plus make more space on my 8 foot wide desk. In other words, I gotta simplify my office. Get my act together. Better. And, be more efficient and productive. Less clutter. This way, I can think better. So......I VISUALIZE my clean, simple office with my iMac and me. With it, I can produce any video and create mind-blowing cards with SOC. Next time, I'll write about Favorites and Keywords and how they affect your life.

This DVD called, "Antonia's Line" ...is about the line her decendant's. It could your line. Anyone's line. You, may now the the Grand Parent. Great Grand Parent. With. Children. Grandchildren.

Hmmmm......

SURFWISE.....Doc DORIAN PASKOWITZ, MD. Surfer. Health.
Watched a wonderful DVD titled Surfwise.....the true story of Dorian Paskowitz. He is a Jewish surfer, born on Galveston Island, who becomes a doctor and marries a Mexican-Indian girl, Juliette, who sings Bach arias. For 25 years they lived in a camper criss-crossing the United States in search of the perfect wave. 11 people, 8 sons (7 in a row) and 1 daughter. Winters, the father doctors migratory workers, native American and urban needy; Summers the whole family ran a Surf Camp for children in California.He taught her about Surfing and Health, and she taught him about Beans and Bach. The Doc has since written 3 books on medical topics most important to him: Health, Asthma, and Sex. Now after almost 50 years of marriage the Doctor and his wife live in Honolulu, Hawaii. He still surfs at Waikiki. She watches him and swims in the blue water. They now have 17 grandchildren. This is a remarkable story, which makes JON & KATE plus 8 life....look easy. See this DVD. Read Surfwise Synopsis for an overview. A remarkable documentary.
ROZ SAVAGE has, at the time of this writing, rowed over 1000 miles. And, now 961 miles away from Hawaii...in 32.5 days. She left Hawaii on May 24, 2009. Follow her LIVE blog on the links above. She is almost half way to TUVALU, her destination. About 2600 miles. Go for it, Roz!

Read Daily HOROSCOPES to SEEK WISDOM + ROZ, the Nude Rower.
One of my daily things to do at breakfast (instant oatmeal with apples, oranges, peach, banana and blueberries) is reading the morning HONOLULU ADVERTISER (which I keeping saying I will cancel, but, keep subscribing for the local news, sports, and comics) and browsing the HOROSCOPE section..........to see what it says for my Birthdate of July 22 which is CANCER. And for Nina's which is SAGITTARIUS. If it reads good for me, and sounds true and right on the money ---- I let Nina know. If it is good for her sign and makes sense, I inform her, too. We'll I recently began to read ALL the "readings" for ALL the Signs. And. You what I discovered. Most of them applied to me, or probably for everyone or anyone...regardless of their birthdate. But, the most VALUABLE DISCOVERY -------- is that I can gain a lot of useful TIPS, AFFIRMATIONS, and WISDOM by browsing all of them DAILY. So, that is my new HABIT for gaining more wisdom. What you read tends to become you.
ROZ SAVAGE, who I am following daily on her BLOG on the link above is an avid reader and addicted to AUDIO BOOKS while she is rowing NAKED as a Mynah bird in the middle of the PACIFIC OCEAN (you can read about it in today's Roz Savage Blog) ....... now I can see why she writes so wittingly and descriptively in her BLOG. I suggest you follow ROZ as she makes HISTORY. And. Read more of literature you LOVE.

Love ---> MAGIC'S BIGGEST SECRETS...REVEALED
At this time, my favorite TV show is.... Magic's Biggest Secret's Revealed. As a youngster, I've always loved magic shows. I even did some magic of my own and enjoyed fooling people. It's like having a sense of power tricking people. Watching their reactions of astonishment. Fun. Like what I do now to WOW people with my cards and videos. I get tremendous JOY in doing things to make people HAPPY. ..........I love this magic TV show more than other magic shows because they REVEAL ---> HOW the tricks are performed. Wow. Finally, I learned how I am TRICKed. And, amazingly, the tricks are sooooo simple. The illusions are simply amazing. It gives me so many ideas HOW to do things in daily life. That, what I thought was IMPOSSIBLE ....can be done, IF you know how. If you look at LIFE as a MAGIC SHOW and you learn HOW to make impossible situations easy to do........it becomes more FUN. So. In conclusion, here..........Live your life as in a magic show. Make the impossible -----> POSSIBLE. While having fun. It's easier than you think, by learning HOW........from people you RESPECT and ADMIRE. Regardless of your situaion in life, there are fun solutions to your PROJECTS. FOCUS on the solutions, not the "problems" (which I call challenges or growth opportunities). Hey, hang loose (as we say in Hawaii). Remember, life is to be enjoyed like a pleasant walk in a park on a nice sunny day.

Constantly GIVE with NO expectation of Return
In life, if we do things just for the JOY of doing it.....we will do our BEST. At a JOB, most people do as little as they can get away with...without getting fired. In you LOVE what you DO....you'll do your BEST. Not for the REWARD, but for the simple JOY of doing it. Life is like that. You can life a JOY FULL life by GIVING....for the LOVE of GIVING. With NO expectation of return. Be kind. Be HAPPY. Live fully doing things to make people HAPPY.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY. Hot Gift: Apple Computer. Sony XBR.
Are you a Father? Is so, "Happy Father's Day" to you. To your children, "Want to get your DAD a wonderful, life-changing gift?" I recommend nothing but the best for you Dad........An APPLE COMPUTER. A 24" iMac, or a 15" or 17" MacBook Pro. Or.........a SONY XBR9 TV. XBR is the best. Sharp. Clear. Though it is more expensive, it is well worth it. Make today a special one, even if you are not a father. You can imagine being a father to ALL children of the world in spirit. By the way, if you loved GONE WITH THE WIND, I feel you will really enjoy the DVD.......AUSTRALIA. Powerful. Exciting. Funny. A bit of history of Japan attacking Australia (I didn't know this.). I got it from Netflix.

Netflix - AUSTRALIA.
Today, Nina is off......so we took a ride to KAILUA. On the way, we stopped at ZIPPY'S for lunch. Nina had a veggie burger. Me, a mahi sandwich and saimin. Satisfying. We also shopped at PRICE BUSTERS. Got me a snack of MOCHI CRUNCH. Then, with Nina driving...off to see the coast of Oahu. We parked at some scenic sights so I could take pictures for a HAWAII VIDEO I'll creating someday. Later, we stopped for another snack at DOWN TO EARTH in KAILUA. Nina had a vegan potato salad and I, a Coconut Tapioca Pudding. And....went to DON QUIJOTE where she used the restroom and I bought CHOY SUM and LONG BEANS for home. At home, I took a nap while Nina did some of her magic on our iMac on her Father's legacy video. After that, I made some copies of our ROZ SAVAGE video and a DVD of Roz's photos I had taken for NICOLE BILODEAU (Roz's Program Manager) to pick up for Roz. And, called SARAH TAYLOR in BARBADOS for the ST. NICOLAS ABBEY info for my next video on BARBADOS. Sarah was our tour guide. You'll see her on this video soon. In the evening, we watched the DVD....AUSTRALIA with NICOLE KIDMAN. Fun movie. A busy day.

Netflix - AYN RAND.
A revealing film on this influential author of ATLAS SHRUGGED and THE FOUNTAIN HEAD. Always good to learn through films about people who made a difference in our lives. View films to inspire you. Learn from the lives of significant people. They are some of our best teachers.
ROZ SAVAGE left Hawaii on May 24, 2009. Now 27 days rowing to TUVALU. 777 miles rowed from Hawaii. Solo. On her way to be the first woman to row th entire PACIFIC OCEAN. Whew. Through the Internet, you can be with ROZ and read what she is going through in REAL TIME. Click on her links above to follow be with her. FASCINATING.

Netflix - SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE.
Watched the DVD on Slumdog Millionaire. Learned that hardship, determination, LOVE, and the power of observation........can and will better your life. I recommend it. What makes my LIFE easier is NETFLIX. I am signed up for receiving 3 DVDs at a time. I receive them all by mail when done with one of them I mail it back with postage paid both ways by NETFLIX. I can choose all the movies I want to watch. I can check my account online for what DVD will be received and on what date. No driving to get my DVDs. I have my selection of over 300 DVDs I want to watch. I pay $16.99 a month. For Nina and I, that comes to $8.50/month/person. For all the movies we care to watch. Netflix is a wonderful service.
Daily I check on how ROZ SAVAGE is doing. Roz is rowing solo from HAWAII to AUSTRALIA. You can track how she is doing by clicking on her name and Blog above. A fascinating journey to become the FIRST woman to row solo...the PACIFIC OCEAN. Inspiring. And, I thought I have tough challenges in the luxury of my home. Watch my video on ROZ SAVAGE listed on the right.

What are your FAVORITES? NON-FAVORITES? ...Activities?
I was just thinking about my life again. As, I usually do. So....I got a blank 8.5x11 sheet of paper and began writing down: My Favorite Things To Do. And. My Not so Favorite Things To Do (Stuff, I feel I have to do, but, definitely could live without doing them). Quite revealing. After I wrote them down on paper, I decided to put them into my Dossier Software in my iMac. This way, I can locate it easier and it is easier to read, add and delete items. I recommend you do this because it will REVEAL to you the things you love to do and other stuff you can live nicely without doing them (if you can get someone else to do it for you). I'll type in my list of things on tomorrow's Blog.

More tweaking on my ST LUCIA video for YouTube. Soon...
Most of today has been spent on tweaking my ST LUCIA video...so Nina and I can share our experience of this island in the sun with you. The music is set. The photos are being selected. Moved around. Ken Burns technique applied. Captions. Titles. About 9 minutes in duration. Under 1GB. It has been a nice challenge to get it so it can WOW you. Get ready. Almost completed. Meanwhile, Nina has been under the weather. Something she ate yesterday did not agree with her. Funny, I ate the same food and I feel fine. Hmmmmm....

Test Driving the 2010 PRIUS. St Lucia. Video.
Since I enjoyed driving the 2009 Prius while in NJ and FL....I decided to test drive the 2010. I drove a silver, leather, JBL sound system...top of the line Prius. Nice car. Not as smooth riding as my 1997 Camry XLE. Price: $30,000. Ouch. 51 miles per gallon. Since I drive about 200 miles a month, I assume I would be filling up less frequently than I am now --- since I would only need to use 4 gallons a month. With gas in Honolulu at $2.80 at Costco today, that come to $11.20 for gas a month for me. Sounds good. Though, the $30k doesn't. So, for now, I am sticking with my XLE. Maybe, I'll try to get a 2001 or 2006 Camry XLE. As you can see, I love my Toyota. Very reliable. Very little maintenance. Mostly changing the oil every 2 years. Unless, I am gifted a big bunch of bucks...a new Prius is not for me. Good to find out now. I had my eyes see on one. Yes, it looks good. I guess, if I drove 12,000 miles a year, it would a very good choice. I drive too little to make it worth it. Nina worked half a day today as a Dental Hygienist. For lunch, we enjoyed Down to Earth's Mock Egg Salad with buns, pickle relish, tomatoes, avocados, and lettuce. As usual. Delicious. I work on my ST LUCIA video. Still more tweaking to do to get it the way I want it. It's about 9 minutes long. 3 songs by KENT ARNSBARGER, the talented Steel Drum player. I am using my iMac and iMovie to create this video....with the Ken Burns techinique and selected photos that I had taken in 2008 on our Caribbean NOORDAM Cruise. This evening, I watched a Chinese movie: LIFE ON A STRING...about 2 blind men....who traveled through China playing their stringed instruments. The scenery was gorgeous with beautiful music. I love seeing movies of other countries to learn about different cultures and geography.

A Day at Barnes & Noble. OfficeMax.
I received a $10 coupon to apply to any order over $20 from OfficeMax. That's 50% off. Well, I needed CD/DVD white envelopes. So, I bought some from OfficeMax and saved $10. Love saving money on things I had already planned to buy. Good deal. Nina brought 2 veggie manapua buns home. I ate them for lunch. With alfalfa sprouts. Then, took Nina to work and went to the Moiliili Library to return a book and CDs. Picked up 2 DVDs. Then, drove to Barnes & Noble...for my monthly browsing of new magazines and books. You see, I have a strategy for learning. Got some good ideas from what I read. Didn't have a need to buy anything......so I drove home. And...tweaked my ST LUCIA video for YouTube. Almost done. Then, I can publish to YouTube so you can see my experience in St Lucia. Had a nice dinner and now to watch Rana's Wedding, which takes place in Jerusalem.

King KAMEHAMEHA DAY. And... our 28th Anniversary!
Nina and I got married on a holiday...which makes it easy for me to remember. :-) ...and we committed to staying married for another year. Yes. One year at a time. Less pressure than the LIFETIME commitment most people don't keep. So, another year of BLISS. It works. Together for 28 married years. Got married June 11, 1981...on Kamehameha Day (a holiday in Hawaii). Actually, we've been together since 1976. So, if you add it up, that's a whopping 33 years. Seems like a blink of an eye. Where o where has the time gone by? Whew. Today, we celebrate. Good friend George Sasano, a karate instructor, treated us to lunch at Buffet 100.....for some delicious Chinese food. And, presented us with a black Solo computer case for traveling. Thanks, George -- for the good company and being our friend for many years. We share a ton of great memories. After lunch, Nina and I stopped by the Ala Moana Apple Store to check out the Apple iPhoto book examples. We plan on creating a hard cover book on her Dad, who passed away on November 27, 2008. He lived a full and inspiring life. Then, we came home and I put more creativity in our next YouTube video on ST LUCIA. It's coming along really good. You'll enjoy it. We plan on realizing about 1 new video a month, at least. We also designed a THANK YOU Card for her Aunt Betty, in Bayonne NJ, who sent us a gift for all the DVDs on our family...that we had mailed to her. Thank goodness for SOC (SendOutCards) for making it so easy and fun to send out personalized cards in minutes. Then, we ended our day with a refreshing swim in our pool. For dinner, we had some ong choi, romaine salad, prunes, carrots, and a Soy Dream (non-dairy) desert with roast almond chips...plus, red lycee. We then settled in by watching a TV show on Hawaii....living pono (the right way).

Hoover Bag. Clean Home. Gyotaku Sushi. Costco.
Nina spent the morning vacuuming, then found she needed a Hoover vacuum bag. So, we went to lunch at Gyotaku for sushi. And, had Okinawan Sweet Potato pie.....yummy! Then, we went to Iwilei Costco for organic mixed salad, oranges, Fuji apples, tomatoes, frozen orange juice, and peaches. Plus, pistachio nuts. Healthy food. I spent my day, cleaning my office and doing my computer stuff. Nothing memorable. Just a basic day. Oh yeah...ended the evening watching the DVD on SONGCATCHER, on music of Appalachia from Irish-Scottish origins. A fascinating film. Recommended if you are a music fan, like I am.

Herbalife Order. Laundry. Art Text. Nico Sipin.
New Herbalife customer Ronnie and Marylu Bobo came by to pick up their order for 2 quarts of Herbal Aloe Concentrate juice. Took 2 pictures of them to print and mail them. A free WOW service. Then, Nina and I went to Manoa Laundry to wash our comforter, which is too big for our washer/dryer. While Nina took care of the laundry, I sat in the shade and opened my MacBook Pro to do more reading on Art Text. I liked it enough to buy it today. $39.95 online. I should put it to good use in making WOW Greeting Cards and videos with Pages and iMovie and iPhone. Just LOVE my Mac computers......which are my favorite toys. They help me to realize the ideas that I thought I could never express and plus...MORE. I recommend a Mac for you. It can change your life as it did for me. I usually purchase 2 new ones each year and sell my present ones on Craig's List. Spoke with my web host Mark Jacobson on my Domains. I have over 50 Domain Names. I need to get more organized so I can create my 500 web pages for them...for more automated incomes. All of this is just a GAME for me. That's all I do. Stay home. Travel. Eat healthy food. Exercise. Read. Watch DVDs. A simple, pleasant life. On TV, we watched 'Whitewater Adventure' with Kevin Bacon....excellent. Since we had done whitewater in Alaska and Washington...we could relate to whitewater experience. Haven't done whitewater? Well...I recommend it for you. It's fun. Exciting!

Art Text. The Secret Life of Bees. Swim.
Today, I tested Art Text more. To see if I can really use it. Looks like it. I plan to get it. Nina spent most of her day cleaning our home. We've been neglecting cleaning preferring instead to go on world trips. Anyway. This year. We are staying home and catching up. Getting our affairs and things in order.......so we can THINK Clearer. Especially, my office. All I look at is my iMac and MacBook Pro screen --- so I tend to forget about the many stuff behind my back. Yuk! Okay. I gotta get busy and assign some time to clear out and clean up. Did a bit a that today. Then, Nina and I took our swim in our pool. Very refreshing. We are so fortunate to have a swimming pool we love.....where we can do our laps and ab exercises. It's heated all year long. This evening, we watch the DVD called 'The Secret Life of Bees' with Queen Latifah, Dakota Fanning, Alicia Keys. Well done. Good story. Recommended.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Tennis. Swim. Video.
I enjoyed this DVD from Netflix....about an 8 year old German boy from Berlin named BRUNO --- who went to live in Poland with his family.......and befriends another boy named SHMUEL who lives in a concentration camp for Jews. They become good friends and then..... well. I'll encourage you to see how it turns out. SHOCKING. Very well done film. That was my evening entertainment. In the morning, at 3 am, I taped the FRENCH OPEN Tennis Championship and then watched it at 8:30 am after my breakfast. Not a suspenseful match. Unfortunately, Roger Federer was not playing RAFAEL NADAL, the #1 player. Went swimming in my pool with Nina, one of our exercise passions. The rest of the day, I spent on creating my next video on ST LUCIA. I usually spend at least 10 hours on a 10 minute video for YouTube. About an hour per minute. Sometimes as much as 2 hours a minute. Depends on how good I want to make it. I am also testing a new software call Art Text... which will make it possible for me to make more WOW graphics for my SendOutCards and video titles. I am always seeking new software and ideas to constantly IMPROVE whatever I do. How I do anything is how I do everything. Going to the NEXT LEVEL.

Belmont Stakes. St Lucia Video. Papa John's.
Today was a big day. Nina and I are avid fans of the TRIPLE CROWN horse races. Nina usually works on Saturdays --- while the races are going on, so I have to tape it. Then, order a Papa John's Garden Delight with no cheeze. Robusto sauce. Extra veggies. 50% off for seniors. $15.17 for Extra Large. We both ate 2 slices each. Saving the rest for lunch tomorrow. We ate our pizza while watching the tape of the BELMONT STAKES. Well, we both did not pick the winner: SUMMER BIRD. I had a feeling that jockey Calvin Borel on MINE THAT BIRD would not win.....because he was adamant about guaranteeing he was going to win. As in life, there are NO guarantees like that in horse races. You never know what is going to happen. And favored MINE THAT BIRD...lost, which is typical of favored horses. Favored horse rarely win. Maybe only 1 out of 5 win. Not good odds. I felt that Calvin should have spent time testing the BELMONT STAKES' track and spending time with MINE THAT BIRD. Anyway, maybe next time. ...........Meanwhile, the rest of my day was spent creating my St Lucia video for YouTube. It's looking really good. Testing which KENT ARNSBARGER steel drum songs to use. 3 songs to be chosen. Selecing photos. Using the 'Ken Burns' technique to create 'movement'...making titles, captions. YouTube allows 1 GB and up to 10 minutes. I strive to aim for the max. I'll let you know when you can view my ST LUCIA video on YouTube. Watch for it. It is going get you excited about going to ST LUCIA.

Apple Computer Lessons. St Lucia Video.
At 2 pm today, I went for my Apple computer lesson. My weekly one hour lesson on about anything I want to learn on my computer. Ryan was my instructor. I learned about setting up my MacBook Pro to tap into my iTunes on an external drive. We looked into ART TEXT....something I want to check out so I can do creative fonts. For my Pages and iMovie projects. For my videos. Greeting cards. I love designing just about anything. Having great tools mke it easy and definitely MORE fun. You see more results on my websites, too.

New Radiator for my CAMRY.
Today, my major project was to have my 1997 Camry XLE's leaking radiator replaced. Which was done by Lee Bates of Artesian Auto Repair. Lee does a good job at a fair price. He is good with Toyota cars. Right now, I am hanging on to my Camry until I find the next right car for me. Could it be a PRIUS? We'll see. Also, found a quaint Vietnamese restaurant on Kapahulu Ave for some delicious crispy egg noodles with mixed vegetables and tofu....which Nina and I shared. We love ethnic foods like this. Primarily vegetarian. In the morning we did our swim in our pool for laps and exercise. We also dropped off a package of Herbalife products for a customer at the Post Office. We also picked up some Japanese food at the Gulick Deli on King Street. Got some chow mein and chow fun, sweet potato tempura and vegetable tempura, cone sushi, and nishime with Kombu. Yummy. Nina finished the evening off with working on our iMac to help create our ST LUCIA video. Me, watching the Travel Channel on the Caribbean while tying this blog on my MacBook Pro. Another day in our life.

The Divine BETTE MIDLER. DVD. Netflix.
Got reinspired by the super-talented BETTE MIDLER, who was born in Hawaii. She can sing, dance and act. Her story is one of overcoming great challenges in her life. I highly recommend this DVD to you, which I got from Netflix. I could not begin to explain how amazing Bette is to you. I gained enhanced appreciation on her life...which is her message. Good going, Bette!

Getting More ORGANIZED. Daily.
Cutting my clutter. Less papers. Putting a lot of my info into my iMac. As long as I can find them again. I use 2 Apple Mac softwares to help me: Dossier and Steel. These are my online organizers. Plus, I have a legal FILE System...organized by Months and Days. I place my TO DOs such as bills to pay, Buy, etc. Recurring annual things To Do. I want to keep my mind free of these things that can clutter my mind. Less clutter. More time to be creative. This way, I can do more PROJECTS to be more PRODUCTIVE. This is a GAME I Play........HOW to enjoy more of what I love to DO. And. Do it BETTER. FASTER. QUALITY before QUANTITY and SPEED. I use my RULE of 100. I want to be able to DO 100 things faster and better and than most people can do ONE thing. It's a matter of having a SYSTEM and Doing it SMART.

AUTOMATED INCOME SITES
One of my major long term projects is a website on Automated Income Sites. These are sites anyone can join. And with one page of links, just about anyone can earn money online.....doing almost nothing. And, making MONEY while sleeping. Sounds interesting? It does work. I have a lot of sites where I earn income while I sleep. Now, to put them on a web page so all can see. I'll write more about this later. Watch for this. Remember: "To be a SUCCESS in Business, you must be able to make money while you SLEEP."

WALT DISNEY. ALBERT EINSTEIN. Thanks, Netflix.
As a subscriber to Netflix, I am able to rent almost any DVD available. This past Friday, I viewed the life of WALT DISNEY. Saturday, ALBERT EINSTEIN. What a fun and easy way to learn about great people...while being entertained. All I do is go to my online Netflix account and search for movies that I want to watch and order them. I have a wishlist of over 200 and growing. It keeps stimulated. I read books and magazines for about 1 hour a day. The DVDs are another 2 hours a day. 3 hours or more of learning daily. This does not include the hours I spend researching on the Internet. I am constantly learning. This is a joy to me. In between all this daily learning, as for today.......Nina and I went swimming in our pool for about 1 hour -- doing our laps and various exercises. This is our life. Learning exercising. And, for lunch today, Nina made a veggie Texas burger with portobello mushroom and Lacinato Kale. Delicious. Healthy. On Sundays, we enjoy spending time together. Relaxing mostly. She on our iMac and I am typing this on our MacBook Pro.

I am a MULTI-TASKER. No schedule. No job.
If you can't tell, yes.......I am a multi-tasker. While I am typing this blog, I am transfering music from my old collection of CASSETTE TAPES to my iMac with WireTap, an Apple Software. It will then be uploaded into my iTunes, where I can use them for my videos --- as well for CDs for traveling. I am also, adding TWEETS to my twitter.com/lorrinlee several times a day. I am also sending PERSONALIZED Birthday Cards to good friends with lorrinlee.com/soc. At the same time, I am also organizing my iMovie so I can create several videos as a group. In between, I may take a break and go swimming in my pool and/or exercising in my gym. I will also check on rozsavage.com to read how Roz is doing on her journey to be the first woman to row solo --- the PACIFIC OCEAN. What an inspiring person! At the end of the day, I will cook some gourmet organic vegan dishes for Nina and me to enjoy. In the evenings, I usually watch TV, a Netflix video, read, or play on my computer. I have no schedule. No job. I just do what I enjoy doing while automated incomes keep coming in. A stress-free life. Staying calm and relaxed.

Beginning a ST LUCIA Video for YouTube
My next video project is on ST LUCIA in the Caribbean. Nina and I enjoyed a fun visit their on a NOORDAM CRUISE in 2008. Now that I have my Roosevelt High School Reunion DVD and Roz Savage completed, St Lucia is next. I have the photos. I have music by KENT ARNSBARGER on the Steel Drums. This video should be fun. I have a list of about 100 videos I want to produce. This will keep me busy for a few years. Meanwhile, I also plan to send out 1000 personalized cards with SEND OUT CARDS which should also be a lot of fun. So...between producing videos and sending out cards — that's much of my life in projects. No trips planned for 2009. Just vacationing in Hawaii.

Creating ROZ SAVAGE Video for YouTube
Little did I know that I would be creating a video on Roz. Since I love challenges, I figured that if Roz has the vision to row the PACIFIC OCEAN, I could at least create of video of her awesome JOURNEY. So, that's what I did today.

About... ROZ SAVAGE! From her site.
Roz Savage is a British ocean rower, author, motivational speaker and environmental campaigner.
She first came to prominence in 2005, when after 11 years as a management consultant she embarked upon a new life of adventure by rowing solo 3,000 miles across the Atlantic. Her unlikely transformation from office worker to ocean rower, described with humor and soul-baring honesty in her blogs, captivated a worldwide audience. Now Roz is attempting to become the first woman to row solo across the Pacific. In 2008 she completed Stage 1, becoming the first woman ever to row solo from California to Hawaii. Stage 2 launches in May 2009.
Roz continues to share her seafaring adventures online, through blogs, videos, podcasts, and Twitter, inspiring people to live happier, more fulfilling, more sustainable lives.
"I believe that if you don’t keep pushing the boundaries, keep expanding your comfort zone, your comfort zone actually gets smaller and smaller, until you’re shrink-wrapped in such a tiny comfort zone that you can't move, you can't achieve anything, you can't grow. And so I keep pushing, keep developing, keep evolving. I keep showing what an ordinary person can do when they put their hearts and minds and souls into it."

ROZ SAVAGE rows to Australia...4400 miles!
Roz just rowed away today to Australia at 6 pm from Hawaii. To row solo. No support boats. Alone. To row about 11 hours a day. 10,000 strokes a day. She was the first woman to row solo from San Francisco to Hawaii. Now, she plans to be the first woman to row solo ...the PACIFIC OCEAN. To keep in touch with Roz's progress, see her rozsavage.com site. This is an inspiring achievement. I'll be watching her site for her progress. It could take her 100 days to TUVALU...then on to Australia in 2010. What's the message here: DO SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY in your life. Something you have passion for. Just DO IT.

BRUCE LEE...Live LIFE like Water
One of my greatest HEROs in life is Bruce Lee. He, who died at only 32 years of age. Who, has inspired so many in the world even today. He says to live life like water. Be flexible. When water is poured into a bottle, it takes the form of the bottle. When poured in any other vessel, it takes the form of that vessel. Be flexible. ADAPT. Yes... Bruce was an amazing person. A great martial artist. Actor. Philosopher. I am always mesmerized at his movies. Wow.

See the BIG Picture of your LIFE
LIfe is a JOURNEY...not a destination to treasure. The journey is made of MOMENTS of time and experiences. To live in the NOW. The moment. See LIFE as lasting for only a moment. Then, another moment. One at a time. When will it end? No one knows. Each moment must be seen as part of a BIG picture. A picture of YOUR life. Knowing it could end anytime...is to learn to TREASURE Life. One moment at a time, while seeing the very BIG Picture of your Life.

RACHEL ALEXANDRA wins the PREAKNESS
...and if MIND THAT BIRD had a bit more track, he was on the way to beating Rachel. What a terrific race! As a Triple Crown enthusiast, of course, I wanted Mind That Bird to win. If he had stuck to the outside, he could have had a clear path to win. Now, we'll see how both of these Champions do at the BELMONT on June 6. Should be very exciting.

PETE SAMPRAS...Tennis Champion. DVD.
Watched a DVD from Netflix...on Pete Sampras. Good to see him in action. How he thinks. Comments from other great tennis champions. Very inspiring to see him grow from his first Championship to his 'retirement' from tennis....when he could no longer keep winning, mostly due to aging. I enjoy watching champions in tennis and most sports. Their mindset is what I like to observe. What did they do to become Champions? At what age did they start? How did they train? I enjoy < reading books on Champions. Watching DVDs on their life and performance. I also like to learn from the great coaches in football and basketball. And. The top players. Including golfer phenomenon TIGER WOODS. Studying the lives of champions helps you to become a CHAMPION in whatever you do in life. A person who strives for EXCELLENCE. Constant improvement. Going to the NEXT LEVEL. No matter where you live in the world, you can study the lives of the world's BEST.........even on the Internet. Free!

Conduct a Daily Assessment of Your Life
If you are like most people, you appear to have sooooo many things you have to or must do........whether you want to do or or whether you enjoy doing it or even you look forward or dread to do it. I am like that once in awhile. Then, I think to myself. Hey, Lorrin...you could be dead in the next minute! So, what is really IMPORTANT to you? Are you doing now, what you LOVE? Are you with the person you love dearly? Are you at where you want to be? What is your IDEAL LIFE? Are you living it? If you are in a state of JOY ----->Then, you most likely living your Ideal Life. It is good to assess your life. Daily. For the sake of HAPPINESS. Which is a life well-lived.

I am creating a hardcover book on my LIFE.
Who am I? Who are you? A great way to find out and to share this is with a DVD and/or a book. I am doing both. I want to see how I have lived my life. What did I do? Not do? And. I want to share it with anyone who may be interested. I have never had a book on my life. No, I am not famous. I am not a celebrity. So what. Who cares. I am me. That's who I am. Okay. That being said, which may also be of you...how about a book on your life. Fortunately, I have hundreds and thousands of photos that I have taken. Now. To sort them out. The digitize them. The organize them. To select the most memorable. Treasured. And, to share them by video and a hardcover book. It will be one of my most important fun projects. I'll even get to know myself again. And, learn how to live the rest of my life better. The joy is in the doing, not the result. Stay tuned.

Building my LEGACY. What about Yours?
We are born. We live. Then, we die. That's it for YOU. Me. All of us. In fact, we don't even know if we are going to be alive in the next minute. So...when we go, how will we be remembered? Will we be remembered? Who will care? If you have children, grandchildren...they may be interested in how you lived your life. Everyone's life has something to teach everyone, anyone. What to do and what not to do. What will be your legacy?

FOCUS on What's the Most IMPORTANT and Treasured in Your Life
If you're like most people, you're filled with so many things to do. Some you want to do. Some you don't want to do. Me, too. I am doing more on those things only I can and want to do. Less what I don't want to do but needs to be done. Most important stuff first. Staying HEALTHy. Doing creative PROJECTS which are for me... LEGACY builders. YouTube videos. Personalized Greeting Cards. They are my present PASSIONS.

Videos. YouTube. And...soon, a Hardcover BOOK on my Life.
While I am creating many videos for YouTube....I am also putting together a hardcover book on my life with my Apple iPhone software service.

TIME really flies...so, DOCUMENT Your LIFE. Now. Daily.
Sooner than you think, you and me will be 10 years older. And. We'll wonder how fast the years have gone by. And...what do we have to show for it? I don't know about you, but.......I have found that it is very rewarding to DOCUMENT my life. With words. Like this blog. And, with thousands of photos I have taken over the years. Plus, now ----- making YouTube videos to share with you and thousands, and perhaps, millions someday. In addition, I am sharing personalized photo cards. By doing all of this lately, I now have so many projects to do. All soooooo much FUN.

It's OKAY to sometimes do --> NOTHING.
You read right. Nothing. Sometimes doing NOTHING is when I get some of my BEST IDEAS. Just letting go. Letting flow. I have a habit of writing down most of my IDEAS when they come to me...on a 4x6 piece of paper I keep with me in every room in my home. Plus, in my Day-Timer wallet. And, post-it notes in my car as I drive. One of my most PRODUCTIVE habits. Cause...I lost too many ideas that never came back to me. Ever. Because I did not write them down.
Saturday, May 2, 2009
Are you influenced by Other People's Opinions?
It is good to learn from other people's OPINIONS. Then, make your own decision on what is best for all. YOU, too. What feels right. What brings you JOY. Remember, that the best opinion is not from others....but, from YOU about you.

There are NO Ups and Downs in Life
...just BLIPS. Not Good or Bad. Just blips. It's only good or bad IF we want to see it that way. Example: If we get sick, a cold, or flu. Could it be that our body is telling us...that we need to --> REST. To slow down. Isn't that good? Not bad. Get the picture. A blip. When something happens to you, try to see it without judgment. As a BLIP. What is the lesson for this situation?

BUILD RELATIONSHIPS and COLLECT MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES
Life seems to go by faster as we get older and hopefully wiser. The longer we live, the less time we have left. Many work hard for their DREAM HOME and CAR. For me, I have learned that what is far more important is quality relationships ...developing LIFELONG FRIENDSHIPS and collecting MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES. These have brought me more JOY and HAPPINESS than material things. These are what I treasure most. Taking photos help me relive my experien | |
