In this episode, Rachael and Elizabeth talk through the story of calling this episode an "anniversary" and we talk about what to expect in the future from Everyday Thin Places. Thank you for listening and letting us celebrate this special occasion! 

In this very special episode, it's time for the Super Bowl. Joining us for the first time is Erik Johanson, Philadelphia sports fanatic. In the last 5 months, Philly fans have gotten quite a bit of excitement with both the Phillies and the Eagles competing in championship games. We talk to Erik about how his love for Phladelphia and it's sports teams developed, and how it has become a thin place for him. And we explore one more important piece of Erik's story: his complicated relationship with his father and where Erik is left after his father's death last summer.  
Thank you for supporting this show and stay tuned for a whole new season coming soon.

Nope, this isn't a glitch or a mistake.

We'll be back to talk about silence in our next episode.  

But for today we invite you to take 7 minutes of silence for yourself.  

Think of this as an experiment. 
As a treat.
As an opportunity to experience an everyday thin place. 

Because sometimes there aren't words.
Because sometimes silence is the friend that you need.
Because there is an inner wisdom that you may not be able to hear until you turn down the noise.
Because silence can be a sacred, thin place.

Rachael Gallagher and Elizabeth Varaso are joined by Angela Dobrynski, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Grief Specialist.  While Angela has a wealth of professional experience in the world of grief and loss, this conversation focuses on her own personal story of grief, loss and the surprises that led to her building the family that she has today.
