Hello friends!
This week I interview Cory Rosenke, a self-proclaimed bibliophile, just like me! Cory's childhood was one of struggle and beauty, one of discovery and revelation. He tells stories of growing up on a mountain in a remote cabin, of what he found in the woods, and also, how his childhood primed him for his life up until now! We talk wolves in the moonlight, L.M. Montgomery and "Anne of Green Gables," we talk about mysterious missing time and all about the soul. It's an episode that seemingly goes all over the place, but ultimately ends up in the same place...the beauty and unerring truth of our individual souls!
Cory's book "The Magnetic Heart of God" is out, you can buy it here! And his website, to see a bit more about this delightful human, is here!
I'm all about what kind of gorgeousness other humans can bring into the world and understand that we can be stewards of beauty for others...so my question this week is, what kind of beauty are you going to do this week? Or usher in this week? Or lavishly bring forth? A big question, I know, but just think about it...

See you mid-week for another beautiful episode!

This weeks episode comes with a TRIGGER warning dears, but also with an INSPIRATION warning! (Just in case your hearts are tender this week, I know mine is, so I urge my listeners to take care...).
Dana Diaz is a beautiful example of what it looks like to survive and emerge triumphant on the other side of a childhood and marriage that were heartbreaking, to say the least. Talking with her was like talking with a dear friend, one who models compassion, love for the world and fierce determination all in one sweet bundle! I urge to to check out her website to see just what else this formidable human is up to!
https://danasdiaz.com/
Her book "Gasping for Air," can be found on the Treasures page of the website-that's where I put all the goodies I think are worth checking out, so be sure to meander that way after listening to the episode.
Real life examples of strength and resilience are sometimes hard to come by, but not this week! Take a page from Dana's life and check out what needs to change in your life? What cannot be supported anymore...because we all have things, right? We all have thangs! I want each and every one of you to survive and thrive, just like Dana!
THANK YOU FOR THE RATINGS DEAR LISTENERS! It means so very much!

THERE IS NO BYTE SIZED EPISODE THIS WEEK BECAUSE I AM MAKING YOU ALL LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE!! (because I think we should all read the study that we talk about~recently released by the Fetzer Institute~you know what a taskmaster I am, but I guarantee the study is so super groovy you'll feel bad you missed out!)
It's no secret that there's recently been a worldwide pandemic, and it was clear to me that people were suffering in so many different ways during it...loneliness, depression, the loss of loved ones, missing rites of passage (prom? high school graduation?) and for me, especially, witnessing how society became more polarized and fractured. I will never forget people fighting over toilet paper in the supermarket, and being willing to hurt another human over it. That suffering and grief hasn't gone away, and I would argue, it's only morphed into other places and spaces in our lives...and while the world has gone back to "normal" so many of us are just trying to survive the day.
Gillian Gonda and I talk big grief in this world, in our own lives, how to survive, how to thrive. We talk how children can be wise little nuggets, and how our community is what is going to be what helps us, and sometimes save us. The study is truly fascinating...I urge you to click on the link below to check it out. Did people become more spiritual? More religious? Less? How did the pandemic affect our ability to find and create meaning in our world? You'll just have to read it to find out!
Thank you for listening all, and for more information, the website: bytesizedblessings.com

Emerald Carter shares two stories in this episode, and both are powerful as heck!
In this episode my beautiful guest shares: how a book can change one's life, how a stranger in the neighborhood can suddenly become a friend, how in the midst of a truly frightening episode, one is watched over and tended (by both humans and Spirit). She also shares what happened with the neighbor on the 21st floor, in the week before this neighbor's death...and the unexpected witnessing that happened! (hint: it's unspeakably lovely!)
I'm grateful to this incredible human for sharing her story, it's a very vulnerable one. It reminds me that even in the midst of uncertainty and being lost, people we don't know can show up and be of service. It's this kind of story that helps the world go round! (In that being of service to ANYONE becomes the norm, rather than the exception!)
Happy New Year all, and don't forget that I'm still asking for the Christmas present of a rating or a review for the pod! Those sweet ratings help other people discover the work that I'm doing here!
