    A Royal Voice in a Restless World

    TIPS Today, King Charles III delivered a historic and steady message during his U.S. visit, reminding both nations that even through differences, strong friendships can endure. His speech focused on unity, shared values, and the lasting bond between Britain and America at a moment when the world needs cooperation most.

    Be Good With Change

    TIPS Change has a funny way of showing up uninvited, sometimes as a disruption, sometimes as a quiet nudge that something in our lives is ready to evolve. In this episode, we explore the many faces of change, from career shifts and relationship transitions to the subtle transformations in our home lives, and why resisting it often creates more struggle than growth.I talk about how change, even when uncomfortable or unexpected, can open doors to new purpose, deeper connections, and a stronger sense of self. Because while it may not always feel like it in the moment, change isn’t just something we survive, it’s often where we find our next beginning.

    Good Grief: Transforming Triggers

In this episode, we take a closer look at those unexpected emotional spikes and what may be behind them. By learning to recognize the subtle (and not-so-subtle) triggers that set off these waves, you can begin to make sense of your reactions instead of feeling controlled by them.

    Good Grief, Messages Received

    TIPS There are moments in life when something subtle, a song, a scent, a flicker of memory, feels like more than coincidence. Many people who have lost someone they love describe these experiences as messages or signs, gentle reminders that the connection hasn’t disappeared, only changed. In this episode, we’ll explore the ways we notice and interpret these moments, and how they can bring comfort, meaning, and a sense of continued presence from those we carry in our hearts.

    Be good. Don't React Pause

    TIPS When faced with a challenging situation, it’s natural to react quickly, often with anger or negativity. But immediate reactions can cloud judgment and escalate tension. By pausing, breathing, and reflecting, you create space for a more thoughtful, calmer response. This intentional approach can lead to clearer communication, better outcomes, and a greater sense of inner control.

    Good Grief Be Good With Time

    Daylight Saving Time has begun, and with it comes the familiar ritual of changing our clocks and adjusting our routines. For some, the extra light at the end of the day brings a welcome sense of renewal and energy. For others, the shift can feel disruptive, an unwelcome reminder that even a single hour can affect our sleep, our mood, and the rhythm of our daily lives.

    Good Grief, how do I cope?

    TIPS Grief presses in from every direction—the absence of those we have lost, and the relentless stream of heartbreaking events near and far. It can feel like too much for the heart to hold. In the midst of it all, how do you return to a place of stillness and peace? https://youtube.com/shorts/hi5CQD2ggIY?si=55OD_VZ64YFj-Rer Click to https://chatmosa.com/live/summary/DIHGJIIL7TB12OMZU7OYCEID14280 to learn more about this episode and see the visuals being shared on the jumbotron.

    Good Grief it's 2026

    TIPS Beginning a new year with joy and anticipation can feel difficult if you experienced many losses in 2025. You don’t want to forget the loved ones who have passed, but rather allow your connection to them—through memory and spirit—to evolve. It is the painful and challenging moments of last year that you can release, making space for a year of growth and progress.

    Good Grief I Lost My Job

    TIPS Losing your job—by layoff or firing—can shake your sense of stability. When it happens during the holidays, the impact cuts even deeper, dimming a season meant for warmth and celebration. In that moment, the challenge is not just survival, but learning how to remain calm, hopeful, and resilient while stepping into an uncertain future.You will and can survive and thrive!

    Good Grief and the Holidays

    TIPS Remembering our loved ones who have passed is never limited to a season, but the holidays have a way of bringing their presence — and their absence — a little closer to the surface. As the world gathers, celebrates, and reflects, we find ourselves quietly holding space for the people who once filled our lives with laughter, comfort, and light.

    Tolerance

    TIPS Tolerance can take many forms. Most often, it refers to accepting the behaviors or perspectives of others, even when they differ from our own. It can also describe the ability to endure situations we’d rather avoid, or the strength to live with physical pain. In any case, tolerance becomes a quiet kind of salvation—an inner resilience that helps us move through life with grace. #tolerance #peace Click to https://chatmosa.com/live/summary/BQSYC57IKJQLHA9JFBGOCEID14119 to learn more about this episode and see the visuals being shared on the jumbotron.

    Gratitude In the middle of physical pain

    TIPS When you’re living with physical pain, gratitude can feel like a distant concept—especially during a season like Thanksgiving, when the world seems to be overflowing with joy, abundance, and celebration. While others gather around tables filled with warmth and laughter, you may find yourself focused on one thing only: relief. Pain has a way of narrowing our world until it feels like there’s no room for anything else.And yet, this is often when gratitude matters most.Thanksgiving isn’t just a holiday; it’s an invitation—a gentle reminder to pause, breathe, and look for even the smallest flicker of goodness in the midst of discomfort. Maybe it’s the support of someone who checks in on you. Perhaps it’s a moment of rest. Maybe it’s the simple fact that your body, despite its aches, is still carrying you forward. Finding even one thing to appreciate doesn’t erase the pain, but it can shift the energy around it. Gratitude doesn’t demand perfection or wellness; it only asks for awareness. And sometimes, acknowledging a single point of light is enough to open a pathway toward healing—physical, emotional, or both.So this Thanksgiving, if you’re hurting, be gentle with yourself. Let your gratitude be small, quiet, and genuine. Let it meet you exactly where you are. That alone can be the first true step toward healing.

    Forgiveness or Reconciation

    TIPS When someone wounds you, questions your character, or treats you with cruelty, forgiving them is never easy. Yet forgiveness isn’t something we give to the offender—it’s something we give ourselves. A quiet return to peace within.Reconciliation is different. It’s a gift, never a requirement, especially when there is no remorse, no accountability, no true apology. Life becomes gentler when we stand firm in our dignity and honor that same dignity in others.

    Falling Back to Standard

    TIPS Falling back to standard time is one of my favorite moments of the year. Not just because I get an extra hour of rest, but because I don’t lose one to the clock. Standard time feels natural—simply time itself. We don’t need “Daylight Time.” The light already knows what to do—growing with spring, fading with winter, all on its own.Falling back isn’t only about time— it’s about reflection. About adjusting, recommitting, and choosing the path that feels right for you.

    Opposite of Bad is Bliss

    TIPS For bliss to be the opposite of bad, we first have to find what bliss means—for each of us, alone. Not that we have to be alone to feel it, but we should be able to touch that feeling without needing someone or something.Click to hear the songA Beautiful Day Today.

    The Opposite of Bad, Peace

    TIPS Peace stands in contrast to all that is bad. We’ve seen so much turmoil lately and not nearly enough peace. But even in the face of darkness, of evil, violence, and oppression, can we still open our hearts to sadness and to the possibility of hope, love, and calm? Let’s try.

    The Opposite of Bad. Beauty

    TIPS For months now, much of what we hear and see—in the media, online, and even in daily conversations—has been heavy and discouraging. It’s hard to feel at ease, much less good, in the midst of it all. Yet, imagine what could happen if you allowed yourself to focus on beauty, even briefly. It has the power to brighten your mood and build the kind of positive energy that can sustain you through life’s challenges.Music: Brother's Johnson.

    New Moon in Virgo - The Luxury of Winning

    Fear of Poetry

    TIPS Fear of Poetry is a short film I produced with Marla Cotovsky, an adaptation of a collaboratively written poem, composed initially by members of the Station House Reading Series, now known as DStreet Development Lab. The poets and performers featured in the video were present on the evening the poem was created, and are credited at the end of the film.

    Living Beyond Grief Part 3

    TIPS In Parts 1 and 2 of the Living Beyond Grief podcasts, we explored how the death of a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences to endure. While there’s still so much more to say on that subject, I also want to broaden the conversation. Grief doesn’t only stem from loss through death—it can arise from many other life events, situations, and changes. In Part 3, we’ll explore other sources of grief and their impact on us. LINK TO "SETTLIN' BY SUGARLAND Click to https://chatmosa.com/live/summary/A9C2LA0O9IVWPPEFE89PCEID13761 to learn more about this episode and see the visuals being shared on the jumbotron.

    Living Beyond Grief Part 2

    TIPS Healing from the grief of losing a loved one is a cyclical journey. Though we move forward with the desire to live beyond our grief, the path isn’t a straight line to peace and joy. There will be setbacks, but there are also breakthroughs ahead. Each morning offers the chance to take a step, or several, toward living life with renewed exuberance and purpose.Joe Bonamassa Breakthrough: https://youtu.be/MOE6iF8j39E?si=IZyIzx7GAZpoUHsi Click to https://chatmosa.com/live/summary/MV52ODQ57349PIXBJ5CNCEID13742 to learn more about this episode and see the visuals being shared on the jumbotron.

    Living Beyond Grief

    TIPS The loss of a close family member, friend, or even someone you deeply admired can bring overwhelming grief, depression, and a sense of hopelessness. While these feelings are natural, remaining stuck in them for too long can become profoundly debilitating. Still, it is possible to emerge from that darkness and find joy and purpose in life once more, while continuing to honor your loved one’s memory. It's not about forgetting; it's about cherishing their memory and allowing it to inspire how you live moving forward. #griefrecovery #mentalhealth #peaceofmind  Click to https://chatmosa.com/live/summary/QQ8Y1HQBWGVZNHHFLKUQCEID13684 to learn more about this episode and see the visuals being shared on the jumbotron.

    FEAR vs. PEACE

    TIPS Today is Juneteenth, a day to honor National Independence and the enduring struggle for freedom. Yet, in 2025, many citizens live in fear that their civil rights are being undermined. It's a sobering reflection of the state of our nation. Can we find peace without constantly fearing the worst?

    Calling All Angels

    TIPS The “No Kings” protests taking place on President Trump’s birthday, June 14, are a response to the harm he has caused—his actions, his policies, and the indiscriminate use of ICE to target people based on appearance alone. This demonstration is a powerful statement by the people, and it is a rightful expression protected in the United States.But let’s be honest—many are struggling with anger, anxiety, and depression, all fueled by fear. Don’t give in to it. Fear is exactly what the birthday boy thrives on. Let’s not give him that gift.

    Proud to be Human

    TIPS June is Pride Month—a time to honor and celebrate individuality, authenticity, and love. You don’t have to be part of the LGBTQ community to take pride in who you are. Embrace your uniqueness, and never be afraid to be yourself.Sadly, many LGBTQ individuals still fear judgment, rejection, or even harm for simply living openly and truthfully. That’s why Pride matters. This month, and every month, let’s stand together and celebrate the truth that we are all human, deserving of dignity, respect, and equality.

    The Violet Flame

    In these challenging times, finding ways to create balance within ourselves and in the situations we encounter is essential. A key step in achieving this is to release and let go of anything that no longer aligns with our higher purpose. We may also face negativity from others, whether at home or in the workplace, which can influence our energy.With so much fear and negativity circulating—primarily through the media and television—it’s essential not to absorb this energy, as it only deepens the darkness. Instead, we must focus on bringing forth our Love and Light. To do so effectively, let’s first clear away the dark and negative vibrations using the transformative power of the Violet Flame.
