    Beyond Your Goals: Creating a Vision for Your Life with Living Towards!

    Beyond Your Goals: Creating a Vision for Your Life with Living Towards!

    Do you want a different job? More peace in your relationships? Better health? Or maybe just more joy in your life? If so, you’ve come to the right place.

    My hope is that by the time you're finished with this podcast, you’ll have a fresh perspective on how to break through the patterns of your past and move from a place of worry to wonder as you create a vision for your life.

    Using a mixture of positive psychology, christianity, and the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience, this podcast will help you shape your life by speaking life over your goals, dreams, and future plans that God has for your.

    Book references include:
    Living Fearless Book on understanding your calling.
    Visioning: What is it and how does it work?

    Landed Safely

    Landed Safely

    What I’ve learned is that it’s human nature to let our loved ones know that we are safe, alive, and back seemingly “in control” on the ground. However, I’m beginning to realize that we never really 'land safely' in life -- from the time we come out of the womb to the time we take our final breath, we go through seasons, situations, and circumstances that are filled with exciting take-offs, scary touchdowns, and a whole lot of unexpected turbulence. In this episode, Mark will explore what it means to "Land Safely."

    The Power Of Conversations

    The Power Of Conversations

    Most of our day is filled with communication. Not conversation. 
    Communication is about events.
    Conversations are about people. 
     Communication provides instructions.
    Conversations provokes vision.
    Communication creates buzzing notifications.
    Conversations create compassion and reflection.
    Communication adds to your TODO list.
    Conversations make you forget about your TODO lists.

    Enjoy this episode where Mark discusses the Power of Conversations.

    Thank You Mrs.Wilkie

    Thank You Mrs.Wilkie

    Let me introduce you to Susan Wilkie, better known as Mrs.Wilkie.  There’s nobody quite like her. She has been a kindergarten teacher for over 35 years! 
    According to my rough calculations: 
    She’s taught over 700 students
    Engaged with over 1,400 parents & grandparents
    Dealt with thousands of teary eyed situations 
    Celebrated hundreds of students losing the infamous 'first tooth' 
    Ventured to over 105 field trips 
    And breathed life into so many children for over 6,300 days! 
    This was her final year of teaching and this podcast is a tribute to her. 

    May this remind you of your most favorite teacher and the wisdom and insight that you've gained from them.

    Are You Waiting For a Bloom?

    Are You Waiting For a Bloom?

    Do you have something in your life that are you are hoping will bloom? Or maybe you are in a season where you need to stir up the soil and plant some new seeds. Whatever season this finds you in, may you be reminded that hope is the sunlight to our desires. Growth takes time and often includes moments of pain & doubt. Just keep moving forward with an expectant heart!

So Powerful!!

Mark, thank you for your Visioning episode. I’m so happy that you chose to share it. I listen to it while I was driving and was moved by some of the things you shared. I’m not the best when it comes to coming up with the right words so I will probably copy some of the things that you had written on your vision. If you ever doubted about sharing this episode, know this that someone was blessed as a result of you sharing it. More power to you and may God continue to bless you and your family and his anointing be on all of your work!
