Poetic Resurrection

As I start season five, I give much thought to what this season is. I’ll call it life, because that is what happens when we are making plans. Life sometimes defies us, challenges us, yet what I have learned is that it teaches us to move forward and when we refuse to move forward is when we see and feel the challenges. I’ve learned to stop and ask why. Why am I going through this? What am I to lear...

This has been my longest season and mainly to be honest I just didn’t know what theme I wanted for the next season. I feel it should be about life.

I’ll be having more guest and as you probably have notice I’ve changed Poetic Resurrection Podcast to every two weeks with one guest per month and releases on eith...

The last couple of weeks have been emotionally and mentally challenging. Not physically, even though I know that's something I should pay more attention to.

The airports, airplanes, ground transportation. Much of...

Something was nagging at me to look at...

Why is it easier to forgive another–and yet, difficult to forgive ourselves? Can we find joy in the cha...

This week on Poetic Resurrection we're going to discuss expectations. Why do we expect? What do we expect? I believe it depends on the circumstances. If I pay a vendor for a service or a product, I expect it to work. I also expect that this vendor has more knowledge than I do. For example, I expected I would do an episode last week. Well, I also expected to have the internet I pay for but that was...
