#165 -  On the Edge of Hope

Noticing Wonder and Awe to sustain the SCI Healing Journey

Have you ever noticed how what your believe can have tangible effects on what actually happens?  Have you ever noticed signs around you, and known you were connected to something much larger than yourself?  Join Louise on the latest twist in Archer's journey to return to Maryland from the Shepherd Center.  On the heels of discovering blebs in Archer’s lungs and receiving a concerning diagnosis of Bullous Lung Disease, a number of occurrences took place that can only be called miraculous. Tune in to hear about them, and to cultivate your own awareness of what is possible in your life.  Here we go.

In this episode:

Heather Robinson, a 5th Grade Teacher at Cape May Regional Elementary School, in the beach town where Archer had his injury. Heather shared Archer’s story with her students and together they created a beautiful class project that brought the students closer to gratitude for their breath and strong bodies while uplifting Louise and Archer.

Jessica Dibb, the Founder, Spiritual Director, and Principal Teacher of Inspiration Consciousness School, co-Director of the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance and Trustee for the Blink of an Eye 501(c)(3), brought intuition and breath-work when Louise called upon her for insight about Archer’s lung capacity.

Blink of an Eye is created by Louise Phipps Senft and co-produced by Louise Phipps Senft and Zera Bloom. Theme music is by Victoria Vox.
