Chili Cook-Off, Foster Dog, Emotional Assistance Animal all Rolled into Life
Welcome to my 5-minute podcast. Opening remarks... Life is…well…sometimes life is funny. That could mean what is happening around me or to me, produces a lot of joy. Maybe even a belly laugh. Or, it could be that what is happening is so surprising that if I don’t perceive it as funny, I may be...

Wake up to what's possible...
Thank you for listening. Openings remark... If you are a Thomas’ English Muffin fan, you will notice this message is posted on their packaging. When I read it this morning, I was struck by how my energy shifted…I smiled…and I felt my focus shift to the present moment. I cannot recall the last…

Om Shanti Om ~ peace in body, peace in mind, peace in spirit
Monday's musings. Welcome and thank you for listening... Opening remarks... When you think of peace, what comes to mind? Is it reading a book and allowing your imagination to transport you to another time and place? Is it sitting outside on your deck and listening to the birds sing? Is it taking…

Life...challenges...mindfulness...
Welcome and thank you for listening. Comments from the podcast... Life will always present us with a challenge and the form doesn’t matter….it is still our personal challenge to work through. My adopted granddaughter, Marissa, and I just completed reading The Mindful Twenty-Something by Holly...

Is there a stigma surrounding mental health?
Welcome and thank you for listening to this 6 1/2 minute podcast. Opening remarks... While great strides have been made over the past 70 years, I believe a stigma remains surrounding mental health. I have spent the last 2 years and 10 months in the Master of Social Work program at the University…

I am spattered with scars...
Welcome to this 5 min podcast... I am spattered with scars. Does that imply I have suffered or that I have healed? Or, does it indicate both are true? Do my scars create a pattern of beauty that showers me with grace. Or, do my scars define my existence, and the very essence of my being, as…

Take each situation as an opportunity to learn something about yourself...
Thank you for joining this 7 minute podcast... I have learned…through a great deal of missing the mark and adjusting…that whenever I take the focus off of what is going on inside of me…and direct that focus to another…what is wrong with them…everything gets out of balance…inside of me. It is a…

Being an adult means eating popcorn for dinner and cookies for breakfast...
Remember when we were young and all we could think about was becoming an adult and getting to make our own decisions…mostly because all of the adults in our lives were making decisions for us that we wanted nothing to do with. I knew what was best for me…or so I thought at the time. Actually my...

"Listen to your own voice, your own soul. Too many people listen to th noise of the world, instead of themselves." ~ Leon Brown
Leon Brown spent 13 years in professional baseball…a great contributor to the sport. But he is also known for some magnificent ‘success in life' quotes. And while I am challenged to pick a favorite, today’s quote is meaningful for this Saturday morning where the air is crisp and the promise of a...

Do you feel like you belong?
Community…family…tribe…these words describe belonging. They indicate a place where we are connected to others; where we are a part of. But, what if we do not feel that we have a community, or a family, or a tribe; then what? Not having a community…a family…a tribe…I know what that feels like. I…

Musings of a recovering pessimist...aka why I choose to be an optimist.
I think of myself as an optimist for when a challenge arises or a roadblock is encountered, I seek a solution. I actually believe a solution is possible and, consequently, I do not stop until one is identified. But I wasn’t always that way…I had to learn how to be an optimist…I had to practice...
-
Am I the hero of my story?
I want to be…and perhaps most importantly I can be. For in truth, everything I see is of my own creation. When I look at you, I will see a friend or foe based upon what story I am telling myself about you…about me. And because my thoughts create my reality, I have a responsibility to myself…to my...
-
Am I the best, authentic version of my self?
This question not only intrigues me, it is very important to me. At this point in my journey, what I call the last chapter of my life, I want to be the best…most authentic version of myself. I want my experiences…all the pain…all the loss…all the suffering…to mean something. To, at the very…

Do you believe abundance of love, joy and peace is your birthright?
I think this is a ‘loaded’ question because it is full of nuances. Some would look at it from a religious perspective; some would look at it from a privilege or royalty perspective; some would look at it from a cultural perspective. But I am not looking at it from any of those perspectives. It is…

Can we be happy...No Matter What???
I believe the answer is a resounding YES! And while I recognize flags may be popping up all over the place and bells are ringing, I ask that you consider why I believe this is true. Years ago, I made the decision that, no matter what, I would be happy. The decision was relatively easy…just do it....

"we are love, we are one, we are how we treat each other when the day is done"

"focus on relationships instead of consumption" ~ a call to action
This is Step 6 in Deepak Chopra’s 10 Steps to Wholeness. Six words. Thirteen phrases. The statement is clear; no ambiguity whatsoever. Perhaps if we polled a random sampling of our community, 95% would say something to the effect, “Well, duh, of course that’s true!” Because we value our...

Honoring and Supporting through Grief and Loss
In loving memory of my first-born son, SGT Tyrell Seth Williams, USMC 25 December 1976 ~ 11 February 2008 It’s Thursday, 11 February 2021. Perhaps to many, it is just another day marking the beginning of the end of another week. But for me, the date has a very specific meaning. It marks the date...

Rites of Passage...
The Winter of one’s life is the last transitional period and a cause for celebration equipped with all the grandeur and ceremony a rite of passage offers. I have begun the Winter of my life and I am jazzed. While this is the last phase of my life, it is the first phase that I have entered with...

The Meaning of Life...and Sudoku
Sudoku and the meaning of life. For years I have had visions of writing a book on this topic. It was, most likely, spurred by the famous "everything I need to know I learned in kindergarten." I don't know if I can fully get behind that statement, however I have found Sudoku to be far more than a...

"You are not who you think you are"...
While this is the title of a book by Albert Clayton Gaulden and a good read, this discussion not about the book; rather it is an exploration of this bold statement. If we are not who we think we are, and indeed we are not who others think we are, then who are we? 4:36 min podcast To learn more:...

You are love, you are loved, you are loving...
I believe love is one of the most used words in our language and it is also one of the most misunderstood. Rather than extolling it as a priceless gem, we toss it around, or aside, as a cheap bauble. To understand the entire expression of the word, is awakening to truth and joy indescribable NOW....

What do you want?
