86: The Present Moment & Being a Beginner

from Spirit Crumbs · host Andrea McCallum

Today's episode is a little bit more philosophical in nature, and it has been naturally unfolding over the last few days. I allowed myself to rest instead of forcing myself to be creative on my Thursday off and it allowed me to receive some valuable insights for this part of my journey as I transition into my artist role. You know when you hear something many times and it just takes one specific time for it to click? I think about time and how we only have the present moment pretty often. I've heard it a number of different ways. But, hearing it described as us being still in the present and time moving through us really resonated.  I was gifted a visual of time and our perception of life being like a slide projector or a movie at a theater. Awareness and trust are at the center of our experience of this life. The more we trust the story to unfold the way it is meant to, the more it plays like a continuous film instead of slowly clicking through each frame.  Part of what causes us to pause for far too long is the fear of starting something new as a beginner. We get used to the respect and level of expertise we have in our comfort zone, but our soul longs for us to stretch into something bigger. We aren't supposed to be good at things when we start and there is magic to bringing our unique imprint to each new endeavor. This was one of my favourite episodes to record, so I would love to hear your thoughts! Also, ratings on Spotify and Apple would really help people to find me and join us on this journey.   𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁!

Tao Te Ching by Laozi (Author), Stephen Mitchell (Full Audiobook) Laozi Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living, and one of the wonders of the world. In eighty-one brief chapters, the Tao Te Ching looks at the basic predicament of being alive and gives advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit. This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to good government and sexual love; to child rearing, business, and ecology.Stephen Mitchell's bestselling version has been widely acclaimed as a gift to contemporary culture. The Soundless Flame Its-all-here A flame that has no fire A song without a sound I Am the deep desire The stillness all around Reveal the core, O Spirit The place no thought can claim Before all worlds inherit I Am the soundless flame Epic Real Estate Investing Matt Theriault In the spirit of Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad and Gary Keller’s Millionaire Real Estate Investor, and as an alternate to the Dave Ramsey, Jim Cramer, Motley Fool and Suze Orman shows, Matt Theriault, real estate investor, entrepreneur and author will show you how to create wealth through conventional and creative real estate investing while improving your financial education so you will have the option to realistically retire in the next ten years, or less… and enjoy the good life while you’re still young enough to do so. This free podcast and course in real estate investing serves as a portal to multiple real estate investing courses making it a complete step-by-step and comprehensive real estate investing program and resource. My Messy, Human Life Sheena Grund A new adventure of being alive in this messy, difficult, and beautiful human life... topics to be discussed at different times: life, unlearning, disability, faith, love, Spirit... really all the things! It'll be messy (as in all over the place), but that literally in the title of the podcast, so hopefully it's not a surprise! Also, life is unpredictable and beautiful, which I hope this podcast will be, too.
