Unreasonably Grateful

I don’t know about you, but when fear, God, and Love are all in one sentence, I get still. Most of my life I have tried to face my fears as to not let them overpower me God and Love I seem ok with, it’s the fear part that has taken me out. Listen in as we look at all three together.

This time last year, I was sharing about going to the World Series with my son and grandson. We aren’t going this year. Instead, we are learning the lessons of defeat, and there are many. Listen in for insights on all the times we miss the mark of love. Thank you for being here; you matter. I am offering sessions on Tuesday mornings. If you want an elder to hold space for you and reflect on your a...

Here we are again, and I am making some correlations between Baseball and the rest of life. There is a lot going on, and when I/we slow it down, we begin to notice. If you have ever wondered what now, after some event or change in your life, then listen in; I’m calling it the postseason! Thank you for being here; you matter. I am offering sessions on Tuesday mornings. If you want an elder to hold...

Change doesn’t happen all at once. Nothing in my life changed instantly. It takes time to heal, time to forgive, time to awaken; that’s what I mean. The awareness may happen all at once, but the conversion, the transformation happens over time. It’s a journey, listen in to hear more. Thank you for being here; you matter. I am offering sessions on Tuesday mornings. If you want an elder to hold spac...

Sometimes we see limitations as shortcomings, failures, or restrictions; however, what if we began to see them as healthy guides that set us up to win? Listen in for a new view.

Have you ever wondered how healing takes place? I know I have. Recently, I have both observed and experienced how we are all called to heal. Listen in and let the healing begin.

Sometimes, when we feel inadequate or challenged by what we perceive as our shortcomings or failures, it is difficult to shift our focus. Yet, shifting our focus may be just what there is to do.

I heard something on a Hallow podcast this week that reminded me of my topic. Consider that we do not rise to the level of our expectations or rise to the moment, whatever that might be; we fall to the level of our training. Listen in as we explore what that looks like when it comes to love. Thank you for being here; you matter. I am offering sessions on Tuesday mornings. If you want an elder to h...

I have noticed that if I pay attention, inspiration comes from all around me. This week’s episode is an example of that. Listening to an interview after a Dodgers game, I heard Dave Roberts say in reference to Tarik Skubal pitching against the team he was just traded from, “He is pretty good at being where his feet are planted.” And it got me thinking. Listen in for a bit of everyday wisdom. Thank...

Have you ever found yourself “begging” for another chance? It doesn’t really matter what it is; I suspect most of us want to try again, do better, be forgiven, or be given another chance. Listening if this is you. Thank you for being here; you matter. I am offering sessions on Tuesday mornings.

I suspect we all have accepted limits; they keep us feeling safe, comfortable, secure, etc., and yet we also most likely know that limits restrict us, bind us, and keep us smaller than perhaps we are created to be. How do we break out of our limits? Listen in for a lively discussion of what may be possible for all of us. Thank you for being here; you matter. I am offering sessions on Tuesday morni...

I don’t know about you, but I enjoy doing for others. I even often wish I could do more, and yet, I have learned there are times when I can’t do what I would like to do. Sometimes it’s timing; sometimes I am just not able for a variety of reasons, and I want to distinguish between can’t and won’t. Listen in to expand your capacity to give. Thank you for being here; you matter. I am offering sessio...

Have you ever found yourself waiting for a big moment? Maybe seeing others have their big moment, whatever that might be, and wondering when your moment will come? Consider that it is often the small things, like the parable of the mustard seed or the yeast, that have the greatest impact, and if you and I will just pay attention to what is right in front of us, there will be many small moments of...

In this age of information, where you can look up anything at any time, I find myself valuing not knowing or actually needing to know more and more. While I can appreciate all the facts and figures that others can spout, I enjoy the quiet of emptying my mind. Listen in for what I am referring to. Thank you for being here; you matter. I am offering sessions on Tuesday mornings. If you want an elder...

Do you know what your perfect day looks like? Consider it is difficult to know a bad day if you don’t know a perfect one. Let’s look at this and perhaps another way to frame our days.

I am always happy to hear from you....

I don’t know about you, but working to be perfect feels like a trap. Even expecting myself or others to be without faults is upsetting. It also isn’t realistic. What if seeing faults in ourselves or others is simply an invitation to want better for them and for us? Listen in as we explore this more. Thank you for being here; you matter. I am offering sessions on Tuesday mornings. If you want an el...

I don’t know about you, but this occurs to me as a high calling, and yet, it is so doable, or be able. I have said before that there really aren’t any kudos in loving where it is easy to love; it’s when we are stretched that loving is the most powerful. Then again, let’s not judge, let’s just love, openly, everywhere, freely, and often. Thank you for being here; you matter. I am offering sessions...

I’m pretty sure most of us want to avoid suffering, and yet, we also want to love and be loved. My question is: Does suffering go hand in hand with love? Listen in as we explore it together Thank you for being here; you matter. I am offering sessions on Tuesday mornings.

Watching a tribute video the family put together for my husband’s 70th birthday brought to light just how intricate the connection among all of us is. There is no denying it when you look back on your life and see just how the pieces have come together. Let’s look at it now. Thank you for being here; you matter.

Sitting in silence may be challenging. I don’t know about you, but when I first sit quietly, it takes a while before the chatter stops. I don’t always even know what the chatter is saying; it is simply there. Take a deep breath, move your head from side to side and let your shoulders drop, take another breath and listen in. Thank you for being here; you matter. I am offering sessions on Tuesday mo...

Have you ever felt like you wanted to rush things along? Or perhaps that you should be further along yourself? I know I have. It takes something to let go and trust that things and you are right where they need to be. Listen as we explore plans beyond our own making. Thank you for being here; you matter. I am offering sessions on Tuesday mornings. If you want an elder to hold space for you and ref...

I suspect being humble is not all that popular in today’s culture. Perhaps it has become confused with being weak. I suggest it is the opposite, perhaps one of the characteristics of real strength. I remember watching both my father and my mother as they moved closer and closer to death, and now I see it in your sister as she navigates all the changes and uncertainties of chemotherapy, and it seem...

While laughter has been studied and found to be beneficial in so many ways, perhaps it wasn’t until my sister and I were crying that we were laughing so hard that the reality of its healing powers really kicked in. If you find yourself struggling to make sense of what's happening and there don’t seem to be any answers, sometimes just stepping back a bit may help you see the humor in the situation...

Have you ever noticed that when you are waiting, things often get clearer? Have you ever had a change of heart while waiting for something to take place? Consider that something powerful happens when we wait. Listen in. Thank you for being here; you matter. I am offering sessions on Tuesday mornings.

I‘m pretty sure we all know in life there will be storms. Most of us have heard some version of that many times, the question we are exploring this week is just how do you face a storm. I heard something recently that had me get curious, did you know that cows run in the opposite direction of a storm and yet Buffalo run directly into the storm. If you think about it the cows are going to experienc...
