The day after Thanksgiving. What we’ve come to know as Black Friday. As I think about even that phrase “Black Friday” it sort of sounds like it should be a warning.
We’ve come to a place where one way or another change is gonna happen. It has to happen. I find myself living more and more along the lines of the video on Occupy Love.
My Occupy Love
It’s a full paradigm shift I find myself in after deciding to move to Hawaii. Getting rid of most of my things and realizing that I don’t need the things. That time to spend with my loved ones, sharing our thoughts and food and activities is way better than all the things I used to have stuffed in every single closet and filling the garage to the capacity not one car could actually fit in it. Stuff I never used, I just spent most of my time occupied with working to pay for it, really busy in my mind about how to get more.
It’s lovely. Watch. Click the Heart.
White Friday
Today I’m choosing to participate in White Friday written by miss minimalist. We’ll also spend our day with a picture of gratitude in mind like the photos posted in Be More With Less.
Those are the things I’m choosing to fill my mind with. How about you? Where are you and what do you need help with to move yourself to your own paradise?
Thanks for reading. My hope is to give you inspiration and thought provoking ideas to take your very next step in creating your own paradise from where you are now! Please subscribe to Big Island Dog and follow me on Twitter. Retweets are cool too.

Mahalo. Actually I work with people too and since moving to Hawaii have created the space and time to devote to coaching people change habits, make big changes and start focusing on more of what they want rather than what they don’t want, through skype sessions and/or Hawaii retreats. 🙂
The dogs, they help teach all of that. Even in working with dogs…it’s about the choice in the moment, not what happened yesterday or what might happen tomorrow and the theme remains the same; focus on more of what you want for your dog, not what you don’t want. 🙂
Mahalo for reading and for you comments.
