Tsunami Waiting In Hawaii

I was up at 4:30am on my way to Starbucks and it looked like a Friday night on the roads. I tried to pull into gas station to put water on my windshield and all the gas stations had a line right our into the road. I'm wondering why there are so many people out that early on a Saturday Morning, then I remembered the 7.5 earthquake yesterday morning off Japan and then just before bed getting the Tsunami warning about the 8.5 earthquake of Chile coming in on my Blackberry right before going to bed.

Knowing how Alaskan and South American earthquakes historically are the ones that Hawaii worries about I read the warning, but Hawaii wasn't listed. I went to bed and wondered what it would say this morning about Chile, also knowing the time frame involved for the wave to reach Hawaii, I wasn't too concerned.

After looking at the traffic so early on a Saturday and then remembering the Tsunami warning, it suddenly clicked that that's why so many people were out and about.

So at just before 5am I walked into Starbucks and they were talking about it. I got my coffee and sat down to start working, but before I could finish even opening my computer bag, the employee came up and said they were closing up.

I packed up, took my coffee and made my way in the dark to Walmart down the street and saw it filling up fast. When I walked in and saw a crowd of people and a full staff of workers unloading batteries, toilet paper, bags of rice and just about everything else they thought people would be wanting. Talk about an Economic Stimulus. The stores made money, but a lot of people bought stuff they may not need today or necessarily be able to afford. I guess it's good to have on hand.

My heart goes out for those directly affected in Chile.

So far it's about 30 minutes past the estimated arrival time in Hilo, Hawaii and watching it all on TV via a Skype connection, there's not much happening. They say the estimated time can be off and we need to be at least 2 hours past the estimated time of arrival before they will begin issuing an all clear.

If it plays out like it is so far, it was a lot of work getting ready and more to do to put everything away after. That all may have to wait until this evening or tomorrow.

The whole Pacific region and rim has had quite a few of 6 and 7 earthquakes over the last year with no real effects. I guess it's always better to be safe than sorry, especially in light of the devastation that has occurred in other places of the world.

Ed Teixeira of the State civil Defense department is feeling good about things, but still stressing that people keep their guard up for awhile more. The Samoa Tsunami hit it's largest wave an hour and a half after the estimated time of arrival and the warning had already been dropped to an advisory level.

So as of 11:501am on Maui, it's bright and sunny and Hilo is still looking good. Guess I'll get back on later if any more develops.

Pictures looking towards the Kahului Harbor on Maui. Not much of a different look than any other.

Well, I guess the internet can't handle, because I can't up load any pictures right now. Looks like the surfers are all already starting to hit the beach.

Good Practice run anyways. Maybe everyone made their own Mind Movie of it not hitting.

Whole Foods Opens On Maui to Huge Crowd

I had to work a 10 hour day, but my friend went to the Maui newly opened Whole Foods Store and came home with some great food.

I had beef locally produced from Maui Cattle Company and Sunflower sprouts from KahanuAina Farms. A whole host of other good locally grown produce and although the prices were a bit high, many items like Coconut Milk were way reasonable.

Between Whole Foods and Mana Foods in Paia, I can get more than enough good healthy, locally produced and grown food to keep me fed. It doesn't take much and with such good food to look forward to for dinner I'm more likely to eat more dinners instead of relying on lunch and breakfast to carry me through.

I hope this gives Maui a boost for the local Farmers, that can really use the help and encourages even more to start up.

Anyone Can Live on Maui, Just Make a Mind Movie and Goal

7 secrets to happiness

If not, I sure as heck don't know why you haven't.

Natalie Ledwell's new program for achieving your goals AND
lasting happiness
 in life is really impressive. This is the first time
I've seen anyone tackle what
some would consider the "weak
spot" of the whole concept behind the Secret.

You see, Natalie realized there was this one important detail
a lot of 
folks were either unaware of, or had forgotten about.

I mean, this really is why without the essential missing
ingredient,
 you may fail with the Secret and manifesting what
you want into your life.

And when she included this essential "detail" in her personal
quest to meet a
long time goal--she found she finally
accomplished it after ten YEARS
 of struggling and trying.

She'll tell you all about it right here...

[Natalie's Story]
7 secrets to happiness

And speaking of "try"--well, let me just say I'm kind of like
Yoda 
on this one.

"Do or do not. There is no try."

You can forget having to "try" anymore if you follow the
blueprint 
Natalie lays out for you in the 7 Secrets to Happiness
program.

You will definitely "DO" because each step builds off the
next,
 and rapidly increases your ability to achieve success.

But actually, the name of Natalie's program is a little misleading.
Because it's not just about being happy (though that is a huge
benefit
 of her program!)

It's also about meeting GOALS--especially the very important
ones you may
 have that up to now have seemed kind of
impossible to achieve.

I'm pretty sure you know what I mean. It's all about those goals
you may 
even keep tucked away in a secret place in your
mind--because you don't
really want anyone to know about them
in case you fail at them.

I know the feeling.

But think about this...

What if there was a reliable way to ACHIEVE those goals...
AND feel really 
super happy every single day?

Wouldn't you think that was pretty terrific? Yes? Good.

Because this IS the solution. This truly is the best program I've
seen for
 achieving your goals AND feeling a lasting sense of joy
and happiness
 at the same time...

[Achieve Your Goals NOW--And Feel Happier NOW]


7 secrets to happiness

There's some kind of synergy between the two--and Natalie has
created a 
powerful program that gets you there.

Not with huge sweeping changes that are difficult to maintain.

And not by giant steps that are too big to take either.

She does it with 7 Secrets that are really easy to manage action
steps you can
 take one-at-a-time--that will lead you to success
far easier than you may ever
have imagined.

It doesn't matter what your goal is either--Its the foundation you
build with the
program that gets you there. It fills in the blanks that
the Secret left for many
 folks.

And it's the best of both worlds because it combines both the Law
of 
Attraction with realistic action steps that generate some pretty
fantastic results.

You really need to try it to understand how powerful it is.

7 secrets to happiness

But don't dilly-dally around either.

Natalie has put together an incredibly generous way for you to
give this
 a try with a 50% discount, and some solid bonuses that
total over $1,200
 in value.

It's entirely possible this will sell out in the next day or two--and
then
 you'll miss out, which would really be a shame.

After all, life is short. And realizing your full potential and
capacity 
for happiness and fulfillment should not be put off for
"someday".

So do it now.

All the best,

Jim

P.S. Odd as it may seem, you really need to quit "trying" and
start "Doing"
instead. Natalie will show you exactly how to do
this in the easiest and most
painless way possible. The frosting on
the cake? Your increasing happiness.
 Oh, and she's throwing in
the entire Mind Movies creation kit for FREE and 
the 1200 bucks
worth of additional bonuses too!

All for launch week ONLY and while stock lasts!
