Have you given someone a May Lei of Aloha yet? Counting today, there are just eight more days in which you can be part of our Ho‘ohana celebration this month: we’re doing so to let others know how much they teach us, and how much we appreciate it.
When you give someone a lei, you are letting them know how great you think they are; you give them incredible acknowledgement. Best of all, you get a good feeling telling them so. Just ask Chris.
Chris gave his lei to Bren yesterday:
“Slacker Manager is a thought-provoking, articulate blog on how to thrive in work by focusing on working smarter rather than working harder.”
Besides giving us a few highlights of the Slacker Manager blog, Chris shared some of Bren’s Slacker@Work manifesto with us too: You must click into the Alchemy of Soulful Work for the direct hit to the excerpt on exactly what being a Slacker is, for as Chris says, “There’s a bit of the Slacker in all of us.”
After you read what Chis has written, you’ll be inspired to have a “satisficing” day of your own. Click in.
Footnote:
This month the giving of May Leis continues to celebrate the online community we have become outside Talking Story, and I am so pleased to be your hostess. I will point you to them all month long.
Leis are Hawaii’s most visible symbol of May Day, however there is much more to this special day. Most islanders believe that the sole purpose of May Day is to engage in random acts of kindness, to practice being Mea Ho‘okipa, and to celebrate the Aloha spirit.
Why restrict such wonderful intention to just one day? In honor of the entire month of May, our Ho‘ohana this month will be to share the spirit of May Day and the gifts of May you are able to give. — from this month’s Ho‘ohana™ May Day Gifts of Aloha
