		<description><![CDATA[HANA YIN (Brain Fitness Hawaii) is expanding her practice. She has a new member of their staff, Mr. Walter Peter, a life coach and brain trainer. And, in order to meet the increasing demand of out-of-state clients flying to Honolulu to receive brain training, she has relocated to Alana Waikiki Business Center, adjacent to the Double Tree Hotel at 460 Ena Road, Suite 600. SUE SOWDERS (SUECANDO) says that our 1099-Misc statements should have been sent to the recipients by January 31 and to the IRS and State by end of February. New rules went into effect on January 1, 2011, so if you have questions or still need help with your 1099s, call Sue. 230-7395. MARY HOUGHTON (National Kidney Foundation of Hawaii) reminds all of us to take the kidney quiz before March 8, 2012 and you will be entered to win a five-night stay at the California Hotel &#38; Casino in Las Vegas, courtesy of Vacations Hawaii. Just go to www.kidneyhi.org and click on kidney quiz. The deadline of March 8 is World Kidney Day. Come and celebrate at Ala Moana Center.  Mary also writes that she is enjoying the anthuriums she planted last year and is finding it calming to water them and prune them early in the morning before work. “It’s really amazing what a little bit of water will do each day. My next challenge is to grow poinsettias. I planted them before the holidays and was told that if I water them, they will ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[E-Newsletter, Vol. 14, No. 1 Building Business – Building Relationships January 2012 Should you be afraid? Attorney Cynthia Quinn to speak on social media and privacy – Jan. 26. President’s Message Welcome to the Year of the Dragon. Did you know the “dragon was born under the sign of luck”? That is according to a recent addition of Your Chinese Horoscope, published annually. Our focus at the January meeting of the Professional Women’s Network will demonstrate how a scholarly speaker is taking on the dragon — not necessarily what we would think of as a bad dragon — in the court of law, and we have attached the title “Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid” to her presentation. That word afraid bothers me now and did as I came through the reality that I almost never follow the precautions set out by policing authorities and others who caution us to never look a stranger in the eye. In fact, I cannot imagine not looking someone in the eye. I won’t say I never shun the opportunity such as on a dark sidewalk where the opposing walker is bigger than me and not looking friendly. At PWN we have set the venue for you to join us, have lunch and listen to Cynthia D. Quinn, Esq. a very provocative speaker who is looking the dragon in the eye and taking up the gauntlet in the court of law, challenging a social-media mogul through a class-action lawsuit to stop trampling our rights as ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SLIDE SHOW PRESENTED BY PWN Member, Professional Photographer Gabi Wright, owner of Red Bird Photography. Click here to see slide show. NOVEMBER LUNCHEON RECAP By Kay Lorraine, Nonprofit Executive Our November speaker was Dr. Maya Soetoro-Ng, a community advocate, author, and an educator with a Ph.D. in international comparative education from the University of Hawai‘i. Her topic was Building a Future Filled with Aloha and although Maya spent time in Indonesia while growing up she is very much a Hawai‘i girl. She appreciates the culture, the attitude and the spirit of aloha that comes with living in a melting pot. It is an appreciation that she shares with her brother, the President of the United States. While in Hawai‘i for the APEC summit earlier in the month, President Obama sat down with Maya at Ko‘olina and talked about life. “Hawai‘i is an amazing place,” noted her brother. “Every time I come here I realize that if the rest of the world were more like Hawai‘i, the world would be a better place. It truly is a place filled with aloha.” “What does it mean, this aloha?” mused Maya. “You can feel it, but you can’t really explain it.” She thinks it is a product of layers of culture all living together that makes Hawai‘i unique. As an example, she talked of moving to New York City when she got out of school. It was exciting and different. Because of her skin tone and hair, everyone assumed that she was Puerto ...]]></description>

Sometimes I was dead on, some months you were probably thinking, “Where is she going with this.” I’ve written about authenticity, adaptability, balance, mentorship, and service to others. I’ve paraphrased quotes from the Internet and shared my personal stories. Here’s one last public account from the latter. If I had to describe my 2011 in one word I’d pick WOW! There were so many firsts for me this year that it’s hard to pick a starting point, so let’s go with chronological order. January, I got my first four-legged family member, a 10-week-old Jack Russell Terrorist – I mean terrier. Lesson learned: Always have paper towels on hand. He taught me a new kind of patience that I guess only moms know. February marked the birth of my first doula-client’s daughter, Tegan. One of the most special experiences I’ve ever had, forever cementing the friendship between Tegan’s mom and me. Lesson learned: Awe at the strength women innately possess. In March, I began seriously training for a half marathon that I completed in the ...]]></description>
