 “Limitations only exist if you let them.”  In this episode I am sharing a handful of quotes that will hopefully help inspire you and motivate you to get through your day.  I share how it can be easy to let the negative stuff and thoughts get us down. I mention that we need to make an effort to find the positive stuff.  I remind you that the good and positive are there just as much as the negative.  The quotes I share and comment on are about change, limitations and relying on our Savior.  If you need a little pick me up,  there might be one of these quotes or thoughts that will get you through the day.

 Episode description: “...and whatsoever is truth is light, …”  In this week’s episode I am talking about the Netflix hit “K-Pop Demon Hunters” and how it is resonating with so many people due to the truth and light within its message. ( I share a few spoilers so be warned.)  I share how any truths can lead us to light and that light can lead us to Jesus Christ.  I talk of the things  we all relate to like shame and mistakes and also wanting to be good and  to search for light.  I go the plot and talk about how this story can relate to all of us and how we can heal through sharing our mistakes and shame and being honest and sharing goodness and light.  So many good things about this wonderful movie.  If you haven’t watched it - well get to it!!

 “… this dual process coping seems to be the way of midlife.”  I hope summer is going well for you all.  In this episode I share that my summer is feeling weird and all the change that I have been coping with.  This summer has felt different. I share how I have been looking back, missing the simple summers at the pool when my kids were younger.   I mention that redoing my daughter's room has been bringing up lots of nostalgic memories.  I am also excited for my children to leave the nest but it is such a bittersweet time.  I also share how our trip to the Cleveland Natural History museum with its new renovation was a metaphor to what I have been feeling as we appreciated the new but were looking for all the familiar past things we loved about the museum.   I finish with a quote from an article that describes my feelings quite well, both the mourning and the reinvention.  Looking back and also looking forward.

“So glad that I made it happen!”  In this episode I share a bit about our vacation to the Universal resort and also their new park Epic.  I was able to have all of my family together for the first time in 2 years.  It was the first time to take a vacation with all the new in-laws as well.  Some highlights - everyone getting along, the wonderful food and the new park Epic is just a beautiful place.  I talk about how I was so grateful to have a friend who was able to help me through the overwhelm of figuring out tickets and how to navigate the park.   It definitely was a fun start to our summer!

 “How does my mess become my message?”  How I love a good story!  After finishing a new release from one of my favorite authors, Katherine Center, I share the importance of stories and learning to revisit our own stories. Inspired by a talk given by the Dean of Education of Brigham Young University, Sarah K. Clark, Jesus the Master Teacher, given May 20,2025.  I tell you about my own story from high school that ended up being a pivotal moment for me and how I have learned to revisit that story now.   Like Sarah K. Clark, I  invite  you to involve Christ into your story and rewrite how you see your old stories and how they frame the way you think about your life.

“Cozy up to these nap benefits.”  As summer begins I use this episode to talk a little about rest and napping.  I have enjoyed this extra time to rest after surgery and am a little reluctant to get super busy again.  I think resting has been good for me.  I share some great benefits of a short nap in the afternoon.  I also mention information from a few articles that describe just the right way to nap to get the most benefits.  I invite you to try out resting a little more during the summer.
