iPod | 3:43 | To Embed or Email: click on "Menu." I am embarking on a plan to get more balance in my giving and taking. I've tried this before, and I keep ending up on the over-giving side of things in many areas of my life. I am realizing I have some judgment hurdles to dismantle if I am going to be successful at this. But just like exercise, it's important to work the neglected muscles, not just the favorite ones. Of give and take, which action seems easier to you? Hawaiian word: Hāʻawi: give Lawe: take P S We are trying a new video platform: Viddler. It has a lot of cool features - you can leave a comment right in the video - or even leave a video comment! Please check it out! (You will need to create free account at Viddler to leave a video comment.) If you are having trouble with the iTunes version earlier this week, we fixed that. You can click on the iPod version link under the movie player and manually download the corrected version. We recommend you use the most recent version of iTunes software. But if you get a white screen on the main player, you will either want to upgrade your Flash or click on the iPod version to watch. That's required to support the in-video comments. Join us at The Reef for discussion, Reef Radio, and occasional live streaming. Support us by buying your own copy of our Beach Walks Theme music.

photo by Lois Raimondo, Washington Post, 2/10/08 What a blast! It was published today, in the Washington Post’s business section — with our happy mugs below the fold (& as the second photo in the online slideshow). Talking with Post reporter Nancy Trejos was a comfortable, positive experience. She expressed a lot of interest in different facets of family finance, especially in the face of a slowing economy & home sales . Thanks Shashi Bellamkonda for connecting Nancy, Sean, & me. More from: Awesome mind & equally so husband Sean Stickle with his feedback to the Post’s interpretation of our interview; U.S. News & the premise we’re convincing ourselves of a weak economy despite indicators of stability; Business Week’s podcast with ActionCoach CEO Brad Sugars on how we can thrive in slower economic times, especially small biz.
