Stories of footsteps on ceilings? Magic? Dying three times and then returning to the world forever changed? Join me as I interview people who have experienced all this and more!

This world we inhabit is filled with the inexplicable, the uncanny, the miraculous-and each of us has a story. You can choose your own adventure and meet my guests in either the longer interview or? the byte-sized option, which distills their tale into a smaller, more potent nugget of magic. Inclusive and spacious, this podcast interviews humans of every kind!

And remember: we're all in this together, and in this podcast, you'll find mystery, a little fairy dust, and maybe, just a little bit of hope & love.

    The Interview: Jonathan Labman ~ The Magic of Bending Spoons!

    The Interview: Jonathan Labman ~ The Magic of Bending Spoons!

    Hello all! This episode I speak with Jonathan about three very different inexplicable incidents in his life! (BUT, please know that you too can bend a spoon by watching this video right here!) And let me tell you, Jonathan held up a spoon that he had bent that looked like a pile of spaghetti...and to say that it astonished me would be the understatement of the century!  (I see some practice spoon bending in my future!)

    He also discusses a vision he had that gobsmacked him as well, and the magic of escaping being bullied and abused by attending a school in Wales. Jonathan has survived so much (including being bullied and abused as a child, as well as escaping a religious cult later in life!). To say that he is unstoppable would be doing a disservice to just what a formidable spirit he has! He is a transpersonal psychologist as well as a spiritual director for men. But that's not all, he is also SUPER COOL! We got along like peanut butter and chocolate and I suspect I have another dear friend for life!

    Your bit of beauty is the video up above introducing Eugene Yang and his method for bending spoons...but why stop there? Here is a photo of one of the utensils after it had been worked on! Believe or don't believe...I still think it's cool!

    PLEASE REMEMBER TO RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST! (Every little bit helps!) and remember to share the pod! 

    See you next time for another episode of magic...courtesy of this enchanted world we have the fortunate grace to live in!

    The Byte: Indra Rinzler ~ The Magic in Our Stars

    The Byte: Indra Rinzler ~ The Magic in Our Stars

    Indra is a Vedic Astrologer but also teaches people through the use of the Enneagram. And when I went to Seminary the Enneagram was one of tools I learned to discover myself...and let me tell you, it has explained so very much!

    Indra wasn't always an astrologer-after many adventures in the business world he felt called to something else! Something older and more ancient-the ancient science of astrology! Ambika Devi said, "Your path is illuminated by a roadmap of stars." And I just love that idea, that we can find our way forward by looking up into the heavens, but also to the past and to the time that we were born, to discover just who we are!

    Indra has a very sweet offering at the end of this podcast-and you can contact him via his website here, and email him through his email here- IndraRinzler@gmail.com

    What I especially appreciate about astrology is the implication that we are all connected and those connections, to the stars, to the planets, to all that is up there in the sky, affects us for our lives, and illuminates a path forward for us trying to make our way in the darkness.

    Your bit of beauty this week? Well, I don't want you to think that I am unbalanced, so here is a documentary about astrology on "Ancient Mysteries" narrated by that great Vulcan, Leonard Nimoy himself! It's a bit dated, but very fun!  And who doesn't want a little throw back every once in awhile!

    Thank you everyone for your support-and so very grateful I can create these little bits of hope, joy and revelation for not only my life, but yours as well!

    The Byte: Catherine Chadwick ~ The Miracles in the Healing

    The Byte: Catherine Chadwick ~ The Miracles in the Healing

    Catherine has a few tales to tell...and why shouldn't she? She's a multi-facted and dynamic human who has: appeared on TV, is a Certified Transformational Coach and has created The Art of Self Craftmanship as well as the Sunshine Quotient! Check out both here! But it is our conversation around Catherine almost working herself to death that is the key here...as well as our talk around what we have in our refrigerators that should catch your attention!  What we have in our fridges just might keep us from working ourselves to death-or at least keep us healthy enough to keep us out of the hospital...

    Yes, I know! Our refrigerators! Who knew that what is in them and what we choose to feed ourselves with could be so polarizing? Food is medicine Hippocrates said, and our bodies need nourishment...and you're not going to get that eating fast food every day! So how do we nourish our bodies? And thus our souls? Well, for me it's lots of rest, lots of laughter and lots and lots of dear friendships...oh, yeah, and lots of greens and other yummy vegetables! But I'm a nerd like that!

    Catherine has a joyful Instagram, so check that out here!  But she's just a joyful human in general...and you'll understand that when you listen to the episode!

    Your bit of beauty this week ~ Giuseppe Arcimboldo is FAMOUS for his paintings of human beings looking like food. I urge you to check out his work here- it is subversive, disturbing, and in the end, gorgeous! So that's the bit of beauty this week, people who look like a salad bar!

    PLEASE SHARE THE PODCAST! And remember, subscribe, rate and review...every little bit helps so very much!

    see you tomorrow for another episode of the pod!
