Little Known Facts About Hawaii…

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

According to 50states.com, Hawaii is the most isolated population center on earth. It’s 2,390 miles from California, 3,850 from Japan, 4,900 from China and 5,280 from the Philippines. It’s also the only state that grows coffee. Hawaii harvests more macadamia nuts and orchids than anywhere else in the world and provides more than a third of the world’s commercial supply of pineapples.

When many people first read about the State of Hawaii, they conclude the most unusual fact about it is that it consists of eight main islands: Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe and the Big Island of Hawaii. Or they recall the Japanese invasion at Pearl Harbor. However, there are many other interesting facts associated with the state…it’s the widest and has its own time zone!!

The Art of Giving!

The Economy of Giving and Receiving!

The exchanging of money and material goods is simple.  You pay for this, you get that… Simple mathematics – your wallet gets lighter as you give.  But the economy of our heart is different;  The more you give the more you have!   You must have experienced it - When you play witha small child and you laugh and you give– you must have felt the love within grow stronger.  When you give unconditionally, it provokes a state of pure joy!   The foundation of the ability to give, I believe is the acknowledgement of infinite abundance….right down to the breath.
