Suffer First Michael Royce

This is a special episode celebrating the greatest day that occurs every year. I’m joined on the show today by my two youngest kids, Callista and Constance (aka Clee and Con). Today we’re discussing the special gift they gave me for my birthday. Enjoy!

I’ve got a story to tell you, but it spans 53 years, so it will take a while to tell and a single episode will not get it done. I’m going to tell you a little of my history, but the story will not be in one episode and it will likely feel a little disjointed as I jump around. Also, I’m not going to try and do this in consecutive episodes, that would bore even me and it’s my story! Just stay on the lookout and it will eventually get told. Lastly, this is not a one and done kind of tale. It started 53 years ago and it’s not over yet. So, this is an ongoing narrative.

On Episode 19 I sat down with Josiah Puyear and we talked about his recent adventure in Colorado. We talked about his new job and his dream chasing. We ended the conversation with some uncomfortable stuff that the females in our house feel the need to talk about around us. It’s good times.

In this episode I simply want to tell you what's been on my mind for the last few weeks. These are some thoughts that have been rumbling around in my human brain and I want to get them out in the open. It's a short episode, but it's to the point.

My sponsor today is, "Clee's Gluten-Free Treats." You can find "Clee's Gluten-Free Treats" on Instagram. I normally ask for extra gluten on all of my food, but these cookies have made me reconsider my gluten life-choices. Currently you can purchase Chocolate Chip cookies and Snickerdoodles. Give'em a try, you will not be disappointed.

This episode is a quick discussion on getting and keeping your Glory. Most only concern themselves with getting Glory but, getting and keeping are two phases of the same fight.

I sat down a few weeks ago and interviewed a family friend to find out what she’s been up to for the last five years. I will tell you that if you find yourself approaching middle-age and you’ve not got what you want to get yet and your feeling like – “It’s too late, my best years have passed me by,” or you feel like you don’t have enough time left to accomplish your goals, to get your Glory, because you’re now in the 2nd half and your mid-way through the 3rd quarter, or you think to yourself that what you want is really for those that are just coming out of high school or college and I don’t have the time nor the energy to make it happen anymore – this episode is for you, bro! or female bro.

My guest is now 48 years old and just became a nurse. She’s a wife and the mother of four. She homeschooled her kids until they started high school and there came a day approximately five years ago at the age of around, uh, let’s call it 43, that she decided that there was more that she wanted to do, and she did it! I’ll let her tell her story, but if you’ve let some time get away from you and you’re questioning whether you’ve still got gas in your tank this is the interview for you.

Please welcome my friend, Shannon Toombs.
