A ton of Sunday blessings today;

Hit the pavement at 5am for a great run, thinking about how lucky I am I do so in Hawaii’s sunshine … came back to a soul-warming talk story on the telephone with Uncle Davie, 90 minutes strong! … turned on my computer to a bunch of emails from JJ learners checking in to my Learning Project there … and then I discover that after Phil Gerbyshak had nominated me for Reg Adkins new Hero of the Week feature, Reg posted the talk-story we had about my Managing with Aloha blog – way cool!

Mahalo Phil for the nod, and mahalo Reg for the generous stage you’ve set!

Visit Reg at Hero Of The Week, a special blog he has set up just for this purpose! (Reg is the author of Elemental Truths); from his header:

And don’t stop at my award; I’m actually number 8— check out the first 7 heroes! So great that Reg asks us what our favorite posts are; I loved being able to dip into his honoree’s archives that way.

I am humbled to be in this great company!

Aloha Rosa - you deserve this award for so many reasons from me, that a brief comment doesn't do it justice. For now, I'll just say thank you for continuing to be my hero, in so many ways!

Mahalo!
