The Power of Me Today (formerly Inspire and Tire)

Throughout this journey with my podcast I continue to hear from others of struggles in their lives that have kept them up at night or have lessened their positive outlook on themselves or their future and I have always tried to address it with words of comfort. Today I want to talk about a struggle that many of you, as well as those close to me, are battling and that is the anticipated fading of a...

I often ask myself why we have various worthwhile causes celebrated for a whole month and yet Mother’s Day is but one day on the calendar. Are we all not born of woman. Is the first act of love that we know on this Earth not the conscious decision of our Mother’s to bring us forward into this world so we can breathe and growth and be happy and loving. Is the thought of Motherhood not all encompass...

Everyone starts from nothing. Nothing is such a great start. It is a solid base that is unwritten on by others and from which you can create beautiful things. But when building from that foundation remember no man is an island. All on this earth need the help of others.

Today I received an email from a man in NY who regrets having broken up with his girlfriend years ago. He said she has moved on with her life but the thought of what could have been still plagues him. I wrote him separately with some advice but thought I would share with you some of my views about the concept of regret. I do hope you like it. And please note at 10 minutes and 10 seconds in I have...

All of us have suffered a loss in our lives.  And all of us have heard the words "I am sorry for your loss" - but what do people mean when these words are whispered to us.  I have a thought on this that I hope will give you comfort. #podcast #episode #calm #bedtimestories #loss #iamsorry #lonely #support  #happy #apple #google #spotify #pandora #iheardradio

We all keep a checklist of things we need to get done.  On paper we might have our grocery list. On our cell phones we might track our daily health.  On our computer we might make note of appointments.  Mentally we have our bucket list. Why we even have a checklist to remind us to have some fun time with others or just by ourselves.  And while checklists are an important way to...

Hello sweet one.  Life is a continual opportunity to learn and perfect your own happiness and compassion toward others.  Sometimes these lessons originate from obvious sources and sometimes we are blessed to learn from others not so obvious.  How we act and interact with all living things around us is paramount to reaching the next level in inner peace and fulfillment.   I do h...

Hello sweet one. I hope you had a special day today as all days should be special. And sweet one, today I want to talk to you about the power of words.   We know through our own lives how words have such a powerful force on us that they can distort our sense of reality.  After all reality is what we perceive it to be and if our soul, our heart, our being is under continual attack by...

Hello sweet one.  Letting go sometimes seems impossible.  It takes great courage to move forward with something from your past – regardless if you viewed it as something positive or something negative. In part because we are all a collection of our past experiences, memories actions and inactions. At times we wish we can reverse time to re-live or better an experience from our past that...

Hello sweet one.  A shiny penny is worth no more than one that has a bit of dirt on it - and in some cases it may be worth less as the one gazing at its beauty may forget to put it to good use and spend it on some needed item.  And this thought brings me to our story tonight.  I do hope you like it. #stag #bedtimestories #calm #podcast #sexy #story #fable #mentalhealth
