Have You Ever One-dered??

So glad to be back in encouragement zone! It felt needed after some of the things I’ve been reading, seeing, experiencing. There’s a lot going on, everyday. Take a respite here. C

It’s a Song of the Week! I am so excited to present to you this brand new music-centered feature on the show. Last year we had a blast (my word) listening to 300 albums and discussing them together. Ever since I have known that we were going to get back to holding space to talk specifically about music on the pod, regularly. And just about a year after we started that massive undertaking, the time...

On choosing to surround yourself with things that authentically work well in the place where you reside. And what has happened to others who didn’t- So glad to have you here, C

It’s not just about living a long time (sign me up!) but living as optimally and healthfully as possible for as long as possible (no really, sign me up!) How?? Well you never know what’s going to happen, but you can control the things that you can control. Gratefully Thanks for joining me here as a part of the life you’re currently living. Deep appreciation, C

I was so much more impacted than I expected to be talking through some of these points of advice. People helping people is what it can be distilled down to. And that is always a big deal, regardless of the size or scope. Thank you so much for being here. A little bit better is still better, C PS: Yes I recognize my use of the word “little” in the title yesterday and today. Not belittling ;)

I find it so engaging to consider real life advice from real people. It makes me think things and about thing that I might not otherwise cogitate on my own. I got so into sharing, I had to put the balance of today’s poetry time below :) ••• Listen, by Barbara Crooker I want to tell you something. This morning is bright after all the steady rain, and every iris, peony, rose, opens its mouth, rejoic...

SPECIAL REPORT: The state of Rudeness (sigh) Y’all, I’m tired. And a little bit fussy. And apparently so are lots of other ppl. But that’s no reason to be rude. As a matter of fact, if you keep it up (the rudeness) you will consistently feel worse and so will your interactions with ev one else, from complete and total strangers all the way to people you love. Kindness and compassion, C

CW: Suicide Prevention Discussion We’re continuing the conversation we started last week about suicide prevention, as we draw towards the end of September. It is important for there to be safe spaces where these things can be discussed: from the side of needing help or from the side of wanting to help I’m really really glad that you’re here. Keep being here, C

Are sports the best use of our individual and collective time anymore? It’s worth asking. Go Birds, C

It’s the final entry to our weekly Summer Encouragement Series for this year and although I am sad to see it go (in general and particularly!) I also want to celebrate and honor it. Don’t worry; we’ll still do encouragement episodes! They just won’t be weekly. Thank you so much for sharing this with me, C

It’s Suicide Prevention Month all September long, and we’re talking about it today. Thanks for being here; thanks for staying, C

In reading through writings of a nervous system expert, I came across some simple tools - regulators if you will - than can help you return to a feeling of equilibrium or safety when needed. I even scrapped the plan I originally had for today to focus on this because I know the knowledge and reminders are needed. Take a few moments to join in, contemplate, choose a few for yourself. Breathe, rest,...

Summer Encouragement Series still going strong! I KNOW IT DOESN’T FEEL LIKE IT but good things are still possible, probable, and ahead. Deeply appreciative that you’re here, C

I’m honored to be able to bring you back the continuation of these ideas and attributes that make a good friend. These things are important! And they deserve our attention collectively as well as yours individually, as you evaluate the types of friends you have and the type of friend that you are. Thank you so much for being here; I mean that, C

For whom? You. Me. Everyone. The Summer Encouragement Series continues! Hope this helps, C

;) Ok, so part of the title is tongue-in-cheek and part of it isn’t! In honor of the Eagles’ home opener today (Go Birds), we’re talking about other amazing things about the city of Philadelphia. In a way that hopefully makes you want to leave wherever you are or wherever you’re from and VISIT it in all its glory. Visit visit visit all you want lol. Go Birds!

What if you could boost your endorphins even if you didn’t have the time (or inclination or capacity) for a full workout? You can!! Let’s talk how. I’m happy you’re here, always, C

Our Summer Encouragement Series continues, with the new pink thumbnail color scheme! (And YES it is still Summer.) No I’m not trying to rush you, despite what the title may infer. Listen in to see! Thanks for taking time to be here while we’re all going through transitions, C
