Byte Sized Blessings

It's time for another mid-week episode, and I dearly hope you all aren't getting podcast fatigue at this point, or are tired of hearing of miracles and magic! I am ever so grateful to each and every one of you who listens, and it's such a happiness that I get to meet people who are doing good works, talk to them, and then bring their stories to you! This episode my guest is Minister and Chaplain R...

Hello friends! This week I interview Cory, a self-proclaimed bibliophile, just like me! Cory's childhood was one of struggle and beauty, one of discovery and revelation. He tells stories of growing up on a mountain in a remote cabin, of what he found in the woods, and also, how his childhood primed him for his life up until now! We talk wolves in the moonlight, L.M. Montgomery and "Anne of Green G...

YAY! This is the inaugural episode of our mid-week Miracle series! Every once in a while I will be releasing a mid-week episode, without a byte, for you to enjoy! (cue the revelry and the dancing!) My guest, Kendra Lockhart, has several stories to tell, including one from her childhood where a mysterious voice helped to save her younger brother's life! She's had quite the interesting journey and I...

Hello friends! This week I interview Jeff Miller, someone I've known since he was a teenager. And yes, he decided I was cool enough to appear on the show! (you have no idea how young that made me feel!) Ha! Jeff is an adventurer, a man about town (but really the world, and right now, Latin America), and is changing hearts and minds with his YouTube channel, Slow Road South. He creates sweet films...

This weeks episode comes with a TRIGGER warning dears, but also with an INSPIRATION warning! (Just in case your hearts are tender this week, I know mine is, so I urge my listeners to take care...). Dana is a beautiful example of what it looks like to survive and emerge triumphant on the other side of a childhood and marriage that were heartbreaking, to say the least. Talking with her was like talk...

THERE IS NO BYTE SIZED EPISODE THIS WEEK BECAUSE I AM MAKING YOU ALL LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE!! (because I think we should all read the study that we talk about~recently released by the Fetzer Institute~you know what a taskmaster I am, but I guarantee the study is so super groovy you'll feel bad you missed out!) It's no secret that there's recently been a worldwide pandemic, and it was clear to me t...

Emerald shares two stories in this episode, and both are powerful as heck! In this episode my beautiful guest shares: how a book can change one's life, how a stranger in the neighborhood can suddenly become a friend, how in the midst of a truly frightening episode, one is watched over and tended (by both humans and Spirit). She also shares what happened with the neighbor on the 21st floor, in the...

Elizabeth has several stories to tell this week, and each are enchanting! This delightful author of several books has clearly been called from the start to a magical and delicious life! We talk how even the darkness has potentials in it (so perfect for the shortest day of the year on the 21st!!) and how going through a dark night of the soul can prepare one for the profoundest magic in one's life....

What does it mean to listen to your heart? Well, for starters, it might mean ending up in an incredible house on a peninsula in Bali! My guest, Layard, tells of listening and then following...and the gifts that come from that. We talk Trickster (again!), the Hero's Journey, and how our Hearts are really our most potent superpower! (Hint: they kinda know everything!!)  Layard Thompson is currently...

Sally is both captivating and intelligent, and both of these traits shine through as she regaled me with multiple stories of magic! Including: 1. How she learned that magic was a VERY REAL THING in the Amazon, 2. How Our Lady of Guadalupe is a very potent healing force, 3. And finally, that the Forest Trickster, Chullachaqui, is alive and well, and looking for those he can lead off into the jungle...

Junko lives to light people up...by encouraging them to mine not only their brilliance, but also their shadows! She grew up surrounded by Shintoism as well as Buddhism, and it's clear that both have left their mark on her. From a young age she was deeply immersed in the Japanese worldview of Shinto, and the spirits that came with it. Sensitive to the world around her, Junko soon understood that th...

This week it's all about the messages we get-whether from friends, from a strange green bottle in the ocean, OR? like my guest this week, in her dreams as well as in her ear! It is truly magical thinking about the lengths the Universe will go to to make sure that we are safe, and on our path! And Julia's story fits right in with this idea-that the Energy which surrounds us, the Spirit that moves u...

It's all about the superpower, baby!  Right now you're totally wondering what superpower? Well, the superpower that's led Lisa to have multiple experiences that can't be explained.

Siena loves history, loves old buildings and has reverence for the past. BUT it was her experience at a seance in a basement, one that had ties to the Underground Railroad, that she talks about in this episode. Her tale is a spooky one and reminds me that boundaries are good, especially when it comes to those who are already dead. I don't want to give any spoilers, but let's just say that sometime...
