Byte Sized Blessings | Paranormal Stories, Divine Encounters & Magical Happenings!

Hello babes and welcome to my conversation with Tantri Wija, Reporter At Large at "The Seattle Times," bon-vivant as well as dear friend o'mine! We had this convo in person, IN PERSON, in Santa Fe last March and just finally am I able to get it up and out into the world....because...I wanted to wait until we launched our first few episodes of our new podcast, Tantri and mine's, "The Beast Beneath the Bed!" It's a very different flavor than this one, irreverant, a bit outré, and all about folk tales, fairytales, and everything in between. (it's really just an excuse for us to hang out and be intelligent and funny all at once!)

But guess what? This episode is all about Tantri so here you are:
a link to her articles at The Seattle Times!
a link to her book, "See Succubus!"
and lastly, to her website...ta dahhhh!

Be sure to do a deep dive on this guest because she is worth knowing!

To check out "THE BEAST BENEATH THE BED" on Apple, click here!
On Spotify, click here!

We have great conversations, lots of laughs, and in general, are a tad goofy!

PLEASE DO CONSIDER RATING AND REVIEWING THIS LITTLE POD OF MINE! I work so very hard and adore bringing these stories to you all! Each rating makes me smile!

Your bit of beauty is this: Tantri's Dad, Wayan, and the glories of his shadow puppet theater! Check it out...it's mesmerizing!

You know how you just meet someone and you think, "oh. my. gosh! This human is totally RAD? (an homage to our Gen-X peeps out there), well, that's what happened when I got onto Zoom with Elizabeth, and it was such a bummer that our online convo had to end! (but we've all got lives don't we? Well, at least you do!)

Elizabeth is SPLENDID! She's an Author, an Integrative Medicine Practitioner, THE Fermentation Maven, as well as an Acupuncturist and finally, Urban Homesteader! Whew! She tells the entire story on the pod, of how she sort of stumbled and then more intentionally, created a life in her small garden, and is feeding herself and fermenting delicious veggies, and in general, trying to help us all eat better and be better!

YOU KNOW WE LOVE RATINGS AND REVIEWS SO BE A DEAR AND DO ONE OR THE OTHER, OR BETTER YET, DO BOTH PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

Your bit of beauty is on tap here, a TEDtalk called "Let Your Garden Grow Wild" by Rebecca McMackin, who urges us all to let our gardens get all wild and woolly. Because guess what? It's good for every little think that calls our gardens home!

Hey there friends!

I'm introducing you to Hollis Peirce this time, and to be honest, I was a little nervous before the conversation! We had tried to get together for a few months, but something always got in the way, and THEN, the timing was right, (finally) and I got to confab with this fierce and funny disability rights activist!

Besides for being an advocate for those who don't have a voice, Hollis also is a public speaker as well as podcaster, with his very own pod, Twenty-first Century Disability, which you can find here! He's also a motivational speaker and all around generous-of-spirit human, and never lets the dust settle, because he's also redefining what it means to be "disabled" and changing the rules of, well, pretty much everything! He never takes "no" for an answer, and is working, one day at a time, to make this world a more just and equitable place, for everyone! To check out his website, click here!

THANKS TO ALL WHO LISTEN, AND PLEASE REMEMBER TO RATE AND REVIEW!

Your bit of beauty is this: this video from the 2024 Paralympic Games. Check it out when you get a chance!

Holly shares her story this episode - and it was all I could do to let Holly just talk! I had so many questions, but I knew if I ruined the flow, I might not hear all that she has to share. And every single miracle emerged out of her being in a coma, in the hospital, for 70 days while having COVID. During that time when she was intubated and in another realm, she had experience after experience of deceased relatives visiting her, two NDE's (!!) and multiple other Divine interventions letting Holly know that her work was not done on this plane. Suffice it to say that she received a Divine mandate during those days and is now in the world making it come alive, and believe me when I say Holly is here to help all of us, and remind us all that life is full of mystery and miracles!

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING, AND IF YOU PLEASE, A RATING OR A REVIEW WOULD MAKE ME DANCE IN THE STREETS!

Thomas is a prodigy, at least that's what they told him when he was a kid! But what does a prodigy do when the rug is pulled out from under them, when they don't receive the support and understanding they need? Well, they suffer and retreat and try to understand a world that doesn't seem to have room for them to thrive. (or seem interested in even doing so...) BUT, and you knew there was a big BUT in there...Thomas has survived, and come to a deeper understanding of just who he is, and his place in the world. And it comes with the idea of working with those who are classified as neurodiverse and INCLUDING them in everything! He's funny, he's self-effacing, and he is committed to making this world incredibly beautiful for those society seems intent on excluding!

PLEASE REMEMBER TO RATE AND REVIEW...IT MEANS EVER SO MUCH!

Your bit of beauty is this: a clip from "60 Minutes" all about Jake, a young man who is so proud to be as special and spectacular as he is!
