    21|Happy 250th America, Can We Keep It?

    WOW what a weekend it was!  250 years as a country sounds like a lot but when compared to other countries that have been around for centuries, we are only about 10 generations in.  How did you celebrate?  Did you wear red, white and blue?  Did you have a BBQ? Did you fly your flag? Did you watch some fireworks? Did you think about those who have sacrificed so we can celebrate? As part of a Military Family, I think about that a lot.  My husband is a Veteran Marine Capt.  My dad was in the Army AirForce in WWII.  One of my sons is a Major in the AirForce and flies the C-130.  My son was deployed for a few months and he was able to come home on July 4th.  How wonderful is that?  I saw a video of his 9 year old daughter opening their front door and screaming "dad" and doing a running jump to get into his arms. Neither one of them could say a word...just hugs! 50 years ago my oldest son was born during the Bicentennial and now to celebrate the 250th, that is special.  I have a rocking chair that I bought when I was pregnant that says 1776 Bicentennial 1976 that I took out of storage and gave to him on his birthday.  Our country is in a state of confusion!  That worries me a lot.  Our forefathers gave up so much so that we could complain when we should be grateful.  Less than 10 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, there was a Constitutional Convention in 1787. Upon leaving, a woman named Elizabeth Willing Powel asked Benjamin Franklin a question.  She reportedly asked "well doctor, what have we got---a republic or a monarchy?" Benjamin replied "A Republic if you can keep it."  This phrase has endured because it emphasizes that a constitutional republic depends on the ongoing commitment of it's CITIZENS to preserve it. Not illegal aliens given that right but our citizens! My concern is that we will lose it if the constant negative remarks and behavior will take hold.  My question is, can we be more Patriotic? Can we keep our Republic?  This could be our biggest fight yet!   To contact Laurie Hardie on how you can become a podcaster using her PodCrafter program, go to Lacoach@comcast.net  To find out more about the Lifewave Phototherapy Stem Cell Regeneration Patch for overall wellness, to get your Free PDF Health Tracker and a 30 minute conversation with me, text the word INFO and your email address to 469-583-1105.  No Hype, No Pitch, just a conversation to get some answers to your questions.  "Live Your Life Ambitiously Now and Your Future Self Will Thank You" "Strength in My Spine, Love in My Legacy, Ageless Attitude, No Nonsense"  joellynw.martin@gmail.com FB, Insta, LinkedIn@JoellynWMartin https://lifewave.com/joellynmartin https://linktr.ee/JoellynEyefordesign

    20|Caitlin Clark the Generational Super Star Controversy

    What is happening to the WNBA? I am not one who watched WNBA basketball before Caitlin Clark.  It just did not appeal to me although my 3 sons all played basketball and we were of the generation of the NBA 80's and 90's.  I did like the idea that women's basketball was gaining traction in viewership and salaries.  This league has been  working hard at trying to level up and that was encouraging. Then came along Caitlin Clark, soon to be recognized as the Generational Super Star, similar to the likes of Larry Bird, Magic Johson and Micheal Jordon.  What happened was just not the focus on her talent but something else was manifesting. She was not only that good of a talent but was a white, straight girl who was now getting attention for the wrong reasons. Was she tough?  Yes?  But when did that equate to poor sportsmanship and cheap shots from other teams with what seems to be the "get her" mentality.  Couple that with poor officiating and the court became a free for all.  Is this basketball or football?  Do the players need helmets and protective gear? My question is why was this being allowed to continue to the "fever pitch" that it did? Is it viewership or cowardice or most likely, a little bit of both?   To contact Laurie Hardie on how you can become a podcaster using her PodCrafter program, go to Lacoach@comcast.net  To find out more about the Lifewave Phototherapy Stem Cell Regeneration Patch for overall wellness, to get your Free PDF Health Tracker and a 30 minute conversation with me, text the word INFO and your email address to 469-583-1105.  No Hype, No Pitch, just a conversation to get some answers to your questions.  "Live Your Life Ambitiously Now and Your Future Self Will Thank You" "Strength in My Spine, Love in My Legacy, Ageless Attitude, No Nonsense"  joellynw.martin@gmail.com FB, Insta, LinkedIn@JoellynWMartin https://lifewave.com/joellynmartin https://linktr.ee/JoellynEyefordesign

    17|The Songs of the Heartland with Steve Abramowicz

    This interview pushes many cultural hot topic buttons for me and will probably do the same for you too! Mr. Steve Abramowicz is a Wall Street wealth manager, newspaper editor and best selling author turned into a very successful podcast host with 500 episodes giving a platform to those voices who could not otherwise be heard. He has interviewed Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Judy Mikovits, Martha Byrne, Jennifer O'Neill, Nick Scarcy, Riley Gaines, FBI whistleblowers, Trafficking rescuers, and Moms fighting school boards to name just a few. During Covid, I took lots of notes and had tons of questions.  I would watch stories on my computer and record them to my phone. I am so happy that I did because many of those stories and links have disappeared, especially of those individuals who had questions and were being silenced by main stream media, government agencies and so called experts, etc.  Through this conversation, I was able to recall what I learned during that time with Steve's insights and expertise. In addition to Covid, the controversies regarding January 6th, election fraud and transgender issues are all discussed along with Steve's personal experiences involving his daughter's swim team allowing transgender boys and his life in Seattle prior to moving to Tennessee.  Steve says, "For anyone who's ever felt alone in seeing what's happening to America...and wondered if one voice could make a difference, the answer is yes."  My question to any one listening is...Did you get some of your questions answered or do you now have more?   You can find Steve Abramowicz on all major podcast platforms as the Host of Heartland Journal Podcast and his book, Songs About the Heartland on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.  I found this book compelling as I listened to it on Audible and have the book in my personal library.  This book is more than information, it is history and you know that I love history! https://heartlandjournal.com   To find out more about the Lifewave Phototherapy Stem Cell Regeneration Patch for overall wellness, to get your Free PDF Health Tracker and a 30 minute conversation with me, text the word INFO and your email address to 469-583-1105.  No Hype, No Pitch, just a conversation to get some answers to your questions.  "Live Your Life Ambitiously Now and Your Future Self Will Thank You" "Strength in My Spine, Love in My Legacy, Ageless Attitude, No Nonsense"  joellynw.martin@gmail.com FB, Insta, LinkedIn@JoellynWMartin https://lifewave.com/joellynmartin https://linktr.ee/JoellynEyefordesign

    16|Saying Goodbye to Bandit

    Anyone who has ever had to say goodbye to a beloved pet, knows how difficult it can be. Bandit was a Jack Russell Terrier full of vim and vigor in his younger years. He and I started out with a love/hate relationship and over time became good friends. Letting go was especially hard for my husband because Bandit was his son's dog.  Alex died 14 years ago and Bandit was almost 18.  Holding on to Bandit was also holding onto Alex.  People say that you will know when it is time to say goodbye and I believe that to be true.  Bandit was giving us signs over the last 6 months and we were watching. It was his sight and his hearing that first started to fail him. He no longer jumped on the bed and was afraid to walk on his stairs to get up and down on the couch. In the last several weeks at 7:00 pm like clockwork, he would start to walk in circles by the front door as a form of dementia.  We saw the signs and knew the time was coming but when?  I tell the story of the last few days and how we found comfort in having someone come to our home to say Goodbye.  Maybe this can help you too when the time comes. The one thing to remember is not to feel guilty.  Pets are trying to hang on for us but we cannot be selfish.  Thank You Good and Faithful Beloved Pets for a Job Well Done! xoxo   To find out more about the Lifewave Phototherapy Stem Cell Regeneration Patch for overall wellness, to get your Free PDF Health Tracker and a 30 minute conversation with me, text the word INFO and your email address to 469-583-1105.  No Hype, No Pitch, just a conversation to get some answers to your questions.  "Live Your Life Ambitiously Now and Your Future Self Will Thank You" "Strength in My Spine, Love in My Legacy, Ageless Attitude, No Nonsense"  joellynw.martin@gmail.com FB, Insta, LinkedIn@JoellynWMartin https://lifewave.com/joellynmartin https://linktr.ee/JoellynEyefordesign

    15|The Little Red Hen was No Nonsense

    Let's revisit the lessons of The Little Red Hen from our childhood. The truth is, this story goes back even further to 1874.  The popularity really grew with the baby boomer generation in the Golden Books during the 40's and 50's.  The new book that I read from was published in 2001 and instead of baking bread, it is about cake. Mmmm interesting! Funny though that today we are in the sour dough bread baking era. Nonetheless, it is so much more than about baking, isn't it? What resonated with me the most about this book in today's culture, is the feeling that hard work is not as revered as it once was.  Taking responsibility for one's own needs, having initiative, accepting personal accountability and being helpful to others seems to have less impact.  It used to be that getting something for nothing was an embarrassment.  Today it can seem more like entitlement.  Creating simple ways for children to feel pride and accomplishment can foster a work ethic within themselves but also with helping others to do the same.  The reward comes after the work, especially when doing it with a grandparent.  I think we can all agree on that!   To find out more about the Lifewave Phototherapy Stem Cell Regeneration Patch for overall wellness, to get your Free PDF Health Tracker and a 30 minute conversation with me, text the word INFO and your email address to 469-583-1105.  No Hype, No Pitch, just a conversation to get some answers to your questions.    "Live Your Life Ambitiously Now and Your Future Self Will Thank You" "Strength in My Spine, Love in My Legacy, Ageless Attitude, No Nonsense"  joellynw.martin@gmail.com FB, Insta, LinkedIn@JoellynWMartin https://lifewave.com/joellynmartin https://linktr.ee/JoellynEyefordesign
