    WOW - Show Up

    This timely episode came, as I was showing up for something that I really did not want to do....HOWEVER, I had made an commitment and I honor the commitments that I make.  I am a person of my word.  Thought I didn't want to be doing what I was doing, but the time I showed up in the parking lot- it was time for attitude adjustment and to show up as my best self.  Showing up less than our best- everyone loses- especially ourselves.  I learned early on - that I could not control situations or circumstances, and I could make it even worse by a lousy attitude and brewing negative talk and a story in my head oh and add in drama for more of emotional fire.  I finally learned that I could not control the circumstances, but I could control the emotions and attitude around it.  That was were the super power resided.   Have you been in a situation where someone is talking, having good ideas, going to do what they say....and then they don't!  They don't show up for what they committed to doing.  It's frustrating, maddening, disappointing...I could keep going with a whole list, but you get the drift.  They failed to show up..not only for the people they made the promises to, but for themselves.  For their character and reputation.   On the other hand, have you ever been the recipient of when someone showed up unexpectedly for you? Or you've been the person showing up to surprise or delight someone else?  It's a blessing to both hearts and evokes so many emotions that get tied to a forever memory, and human connection and experience. Show up for yourself (not in harsh judgement, but kind care).  Show up in respect for yourself, using your voice for the good in this world. Amazing things happen when we show up.  Thank you for being amazing by showing up to this podcast.  I'm grateful!

    WOW - Take the Time

    Taking the time and connecting with friends (girlfriends and a new friend) was the inspiration for this episode.  There a sweet conversations and moments when we take the time to connect with others.  The taking the time gives a break from the endless things to do or get done list of life.  We often live in the "I'll do it later" or "I've got time" mind set.  Time is a thief and it waits for no one and we realized what it steals in life's everyday moments. Time marches on and we have no idea how much longer we have.  That's why it's crucial to take the time.  Make those minutes count in your life.  Make the time.

    WOW - Belong

    At a recent family wedding as I looked at my family-- from where I come from- I couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging.  I celebrate the relationships and the memories made with my extended family (aunts, uncles and cousins).  We come together with a shared history and traditions from the past, and created new ones.  We also have the ability to create our own "framily" with friends (the ones we pick, not assigned).  What a gift to be gathered with people who care for you, show up, support you, cheer for you, challenge you (in a good way) and accept you.   If you are in a new place, or new season- you are looking to belong.  Getting roots down is important.  So look for those folks that are a match.  Look for your tribe.  We all crave a place & people to whom we belong.

    WOW - Carefree

    Hanging out with little people is a joy in seeing how they see the world.  There is just such a carefree attitude in how they approach everything. In the seriousness of life and all the things as an adult we need - being carefree gets buried.   As children outgrow toys and put them away, much could be said about as we grow into adulthood, we tend to put away that childlike carefree attitude.  When we can touch back to the past and nostalgia, we can invite carefree living and being.  Being carefree is a quality, state of mind that wants to come out and play more often in our lives.  We just need to invite it and embrace it.  It creates well-being and overflowing joy in our soul.

    WOW - Connecting

    A Friday night dinner date with a friend, led to unexpected & kind of random connections with a bunch of people.  It's amazing when you stop and take time to talk with people- the things you find out and learn.  We always seem to be in a rush- going and doing.  When we pause- we can have some people human connection moments.  It reminds you of the goodness and commonality of humankind.  It reminds us of the good, the best in humanity and that we really do have more in common than we are led to believe.  Those connections create a thread in the fabric of our lives.  You'll hear the benefits of what those connections do for your wellbeing and mental health.  What if today you played Connect 4?  No, not the game, but played the game of life in connecting with 4 people in conversation.  Have some fun and watch those threads of connection bring more beauty in the world and your life tapestry!

    WOW - Chasing Dreams

    The power of a dream.  As we kept our eyes and hearts open wide at the marvel of space travel with the crew of Artemis II- while they lived  their dream, they invited all of us to dream big dreams and shown dreams can come true.  I still get the feels of reliving those incredible moments that united us as humankind.  It made me think on what do dreams do?  Why do we need dreams?   We discuss the cost of dreams, and what happens when someone isn't supporting them and how to navigate.  Dreams are unlimited.  They fuel our soul and create space for others to dream dreams.  Keep chasing dreams dreamer!  Bonus- a fun playlist at the end of the podcast.  Dream ON & Dreaming is Free!!!
