I want you to know that I make a mean apple pie.  A statement I use metaphorically in reference to rolling out pastry and finding solutions.  I know a little corn goes great at a bbq but does it jive with a Pod Cast you tell me.  
This episode talks about Olivia Betts' beginnings, me The Podcast Host, where she is from, what she thinks about living in the solution, and her struggles and times of finesse at finding a solution to live in.

About The Podcast Host and Why She Writes

Welcome to the Podcast Finding Our New Normal--Living In The Solution

As a general rule what will be read or talked about will be regarding "Where We Where, Where We Are, And Where We Are Going" locally, nationally, internationally, and as a Global Community. This content will be issues or topics that have been written about previously on my blog, that you can find at www.foundmynewnormal.com.

Let's talk about the solutions, or the things we can build the solutions on. 

Awakening is not always a dream, but can be interesting if we find something to pin our normal to. Reality has arrived.-OB

Kahlil Gibran wrote The Prophet and it was published by Alfred A. Knopf.  The story is written in sections of 26 prose poetry style and to the Podcaster, it reads like a Holy text.  It is a book she grew up with and wants to share with you.  The story begins when Almustafa, the chosen one, ship returns to take him home to The Isle of his birth.  He was stranded is the connotation and he has been waiting a long and lonely 12 years, isolated, but still one with the community of Ielool, in a place of observation.  When his ship arrives the villagers gather about him and ask him what he has learned about life since he has been there, one by one they come forward and ask him about different topics, which he then speaks to.
It is a fantastic story and a book chalked filled with wisdom.  The copyright ran out in 2012 so she is now able to share it with you.  It is broken into several segments, which she will do in audiobook format, Olivia Betts reading The Prophet to you.
When she was a child she always saw this book on the shelf of her mothers.  One day in her pre adolescence, she had a rip roaring fight with her mother, and she will never forget what happened next.  Her mother called her into her bedroom.  Her mothers bedroom, was the corner room in the basement.  It was a sunshiny Sunday afternoon, she could smell the ocean, the cliffs leading down to the shores 20 feet from the sliding glass door, the seagulls screaming as the dove for herring.  Her mother put her hand on the bed and indicated she should sit.  She did so.  She then said spoon.  Again doing as she was told she laid down, her mother laying behind her, just like spoons in the cutlery jar.  In front of her, her mother reached out with a hardcover book, the jacket white with an interesting long haired man depicted in illustration on the front.  She began to read to her the piece on Children.  "Children are not your children, but life's long for itself."  And on it went, as did her life.
The Christmas just before her grandmother died, a few years later, she was presented with a copy signed and dated from her.
In those times when truly she should do nothing, as she knows not what to do, she has two or three books she reaches out to. This is one of them.
Enjoy.

The Reading Of The Prophet By Kahlil Gibran

I do not know what you thought about the man but I admired him.  Starting Conservation and Ending, as well... the Creator of The Playboy Bunny, I definitely would say the man lived a full life.  A life, that someone could be proud of.  Not necessarily everyone's chosen path, but one that almost all have fantasized experiencing, if only for a moment.  All of us for different reasons.  Myself, for his business acumen that he carried, while still managing to hold onto his genteel ways.  The life of one so diverse can only be categorized under the fascinating column.

The End of An Era: Hugh Hefner Dies

Paddling Through Covid. A Poetic Rant about the ebb and flow of our journey through Covid. So little control, but yet there is so very much control that we are unaware of, partly that when we had the control we abused it.
