We cannot travel back in time and add-on to our experiences from many years ago. Or can we? -We live day by day. Then as time passes, a change begins... We begin to reflect about what we once did, at THAT MOMENT our life morphs into stories of how things used to be. We begin to see with greater perspective as we retell our past; this time leading from our hearts. Join Kevin, an old ice cream truck, Wilk and Heidi understanding respect & unconditional love.

It was the summer Paul went from simply existing, -to caring passionately about people, life & ideas, age 15-16. Paul's influencers: His friend Fred, his older brother Steve, a wheelchair bound drum instructor AND author and Beat Generation novelist Jack Kerouac. In this episode, Paul hits the open road. What he discovered changed his life forever. Freedom + No Reponsibilities often equals…  Well you’ll find out…   
This podcast episode is a retelling of realized dreams accompanied by absolutely NO planning at all. Paul begins to appreciate & apply the existing world just outside his door. Paul develops wanderlust, and chooses to emulate the Americana based counter culture book ‘On the Road’ by Jack Kerouac. With an appetite for adventure and all the ignorance of his age, Paul learns to survive on the kindness of others. Be sure to listen for the fraternity house stories!

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGVpebUFTOs Just what triggered this slight shy girl from the mid Midwest?  Was the trouble with Stacey really her fault? While conflict and confrontation are her reactions, we follow young Stacey from early childhood through high school. Transiency, personality clashes, an aggressive troubled older sibling, her parents’ divorce and other stimuli offer an explanation. The story meanders in every direction, but comes together organically. Do not miss this one as we determine just WHAT is the trouble with Stacey?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLZB2cHpi3kWhat do you do when there's a creek three blocks from your house and you're 8 years old? Paul's mother always firmly commanded, "Don't Go To The Creek!" However it seemed to call to Paul & his friend Jeff. Riding bikes down the steep slope to the creek, crayfish, minnows, older neighborhood bullies, a treefort, and a magnifying glass all contributed to this true summer of adventure for Paul and his friend Jeff.
As time passes, this lesson from life has faded into mere echoes of dimmer voices and at one time, fantastic adventures for a couple boys and a long hot summer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTERxNBPtaY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7yHl0YUs8c    This episode retells stories of encounters with bullies -shaming, blaming, and intimidating. Just why did everyone at day camp laugh and punch Wally? Why was Donald such a creeper on the school bus? Why did Mike feel it was necessary to dismiss and let others know that they were poor at what they did in band, and they should "Just quit." Life teaches some hard lessons, not retold with newly found humor and perspective.        https://www.lifeslearningcurve.org/post/bullies-and-snowskiing

Whether we like or not, we all have been detained. Sometimes painful, sometimes full of joy. We retell some of our best stories when we became unintentionally detained for the moment.
