Across the Table

Like a plant needs trimming to thrive, so does art.

The gift is to be used. Channel the anger and fear into your art, craft it into hope.

Violet is a quiet moment of **spiritual awakening**, a pause to listen to your **intuition** and embark on a **spiritual journey**. It's a reminder that **everything is connected** in **mind body spirit**, offering **spiritual guidance** and recognizing **spiritual signs**. ✨

In the art of magic, as in life, the hand must be still before it moves. This episode explores the delicate balance between focus and flow, between the sleight of hand and the stillness of mind that makes it possible. We talk about presence. About breath. About learning to trust the moment before the motion — where the real magic hides. This isn’t a tutorial. It’s a meditation for performers, storytellers, and anyone who wants to live with more grace and intention. ✨ The magician’s hand creates illusion. The Zen mind reveals truth. Sit with me Across the Table. Light a candle. Pour your tea. Let’s talk about stillness, awareness, and the art of attention.

Change is inevitable. How will you evolve to meet the change?

The empty chair has lessons, like the occupied ones do.

Hannibal shares insights from his own spiritual journey, offering inspiration for viewers seeking motivation and self improvement. By focusing on mindset and embracing meditation, we can achieve spiritual growth and find inner peace. This experience reminded me of something important.

The spooky season is done and I'm preparing for winter.

Reminiscent conversation with Wild Man Ted Loring, one of the best friends I've ever known.

Episode 73 - Today's Word Is Gratitude by Hannibal

Ride them both out.

I'm great at communications to groups. I'm horrible at intimate relationships. You have to lead with your strengths.

Caution: the story here may be triggering. It's difficult to tell, it may be difficult to hear.

No matter the size of your audience, your gift is waiting to be used.

Episode 68 - Deeper Backstory by Hannibal

Not the story I was about to tell, but you create what moves you in the moment.

Not for the awards, not for the critics, not for fame or wealth. I do this for the audience.

A celebration and a humorous story ...

An answer to a question, an anecdote from the chamber, an emotional outpouring.

Welcome back! A brief story about an attempted theft by an influencer, and i answer a question posed by a friend.

Life is such a journey. Back again for new stories

A reflection of my past and a future.

Two of my favorite places to be ...

I had a really troubling, frustrating day. Here's what I did about it.

A wee story about finding a form of independence.

Standing on it and spilling out my heart. More soon. Day 105. Life ...

The struggle in isolation. A ray of hope from another artist. Communication with a loved one opens.
