  • S8 Ep157: Interview~ The Miracle at the End of the Prayer, OR Beauty At The End Of Life!
    It's time for another mid-week episode, and I dearly hope you all aren't getting podcast fatigue at this point, or are tired of hearing of miracles and magic! I am ever so grateful to each and every one of you who listens, and it's such a happiness that I get to meet people who are doing good works, talk to them, and then bring their stories to you!

    This episode my guest is Minister and Chaplain Roger Butts, who tells a simple, yet powerful tale-one I don't want to ruin by spilling the beans...but suffice it to say it takes place in a hospital with one frail and elderly patient, and the truth and beauty she brought to the end of her life. (as well as to Roger who was lucky enough and blessed enough to be present to her). I hope this story reminds each and every one of you to embody gratitude each and every moment!

    To read a bit of Roger's writing on his blog, "The Chaplain's Corner," click here: https://contemplativelight.org/blog-roger-butts/

    To check out Roger's book, "Seeds of Devotion," click here: https://www.amazon.com/Seeds-Devotion-Weekly-Contemplations-Faith/dp/1951694368

    Lots of my guests are bringing such beauty into the world, and sharing their ideas and words through their writings...which is exciting, because we need diverse works for diverse peoples! Not every author's idea is going to resonate with everyone, so having lots of different viewpoints is essential!

    Thanks for your ratings and reviews this week...

  • S8 Ep156: Interview~ The Mystery of the Missing Time~ Time Traveling OR?

    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...

    To visit my website, click here! And don't forget, SHARE THE PODCAST WITH STRANGERS! Sharing is caring everyone, and honestly, it means you are a part of helping make this pod reach even more people who might need a bit of joy in their lives!

    See you mid-week for another beautiful episode!

  • S8 Ep155: Interview~Psychic Knowings, ESP & Saving Her Brother's Life!
    YAY! This is the inaugural episode of our mid-week Miracle series! Every once in a while I will be releasing a mid-week episode, without a byte, for you to enjoy! (cue the revelry and the dancing!)

    My guest, Kendra Lockhart, has several stories to tell, including one from her childhood where a mysterious voice helped to save her younger brother's life! She's had quite the interesting journey and I don't want to spoil it for you, but suffice it to say that this is one human being who is here to change the world for the better, one experience at a time!

    A good friend told me before the pandemic truly set in that much would be emerging from this time of enforced isolation, some of it gorgeous (all the art, the writing, the podcasts,etc) and some not so good (the anger and rage still simmering). Kendra emerged with a podcast, "Know Yourself Well" which you should absolutely check out by clicking here.
    Kendra's Insta, her glorious Metaphysical Monarch self you can find here!

    I hope you enjoy the episode and appreciate all this human being has to offer! The truth is, I have so many guests I have to produce and introduce you to, this mid-week episode release is needed! Despite all the negativity and bad news out there in the world, I am finding exceptionally gorgeous humans who are determined to create beauty and spread joy! They are out there listeners, the news just doesn't talk about  them all that much. Shocking, I know.

    PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE POD. I will grovel if need be!

  • S8 Ep154: Interview~Cycling Across Continents, Three Day Feasts & The Magic Of The Stranger!
    Hello friends! This week I interview Jeff Miller, someone I've known since he was a teenager. And yes, he decided I was cool enough to appear on the show! (you have no idea how young that made me feel!) Ha!

    Jeff is an adventurer, a man about town (but really the world, and right now, Latin America), and is changing hearts and minds with his YouTube channel, Slow Road South. He creates sweet films that sometimes talk about food, sometimes are interviews with sweet strangers met along the way, but I guarantee...they'll always lift your heart! Talking about the three day feast he attended got me drooling and reminded me why COMMUNITY and BELONGING are so important and so necessary. I come down a bit hard on the U.S. in this episode, but it's only because of the separation that we are experiencing and the sorrow and grief that is seriously prevalent out there. Perhaps if we all came together for a party for three days, everyone's spirits would be lifted!

    The miracle this week is food, feasts, conviviality, purple lighting and messages from the gods that "suggest" a path in life! I get the feeling that mole recipe is probably another miracle, but the recipe I'm sure is a secret!

    To watch Jeff's channel, Slow Road South, click here!

    Take a gander around you and see where you can help another heart this week...whether it's your barista, or a stranger, you never know how you can be of service, as well as a blessing to another this week. Or maybe, just start with yourself. See you next week for another episode of the pod!

  • S8 Ep153: Interview~Rising Up & Out Of Narcissistic Partner Abuse!

    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!

  • S8 Ep152: Interview~ The Full Moon, The Loss & Traveling With Grief!

    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

  • S8 Ep151: Interview~ Paranormal Parties, Ghostly Neighbors & Being Taken Care Of By God!

    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!
