Hi, You’re listening to Mini Miracles from Minor Moments with Linda Gullo.   This is Podcast # 54.   Welcome as we unfold a few stories about rebuilding.   Rebuilding things physically and then addressing how to rebuild and renew your own life to the fullest. We all have learned ways of moving forward when it comes to making decisions.   What is your system for resolving issues?  Do you have system in place?  Perhaps you do the PRO and CON lists?  What you’ll discover in this weeks podcast my offer you some insights about maintaining, growing, and resolving problems! This week there continues to be a great deal of action happeningat our home.  The hedges that create a boundary between the street and a fence to our yard are being trimmed.  It takes a couple men several hours to trim the top 20 inches of growth.  It is only May and will probably need another clipping during the summer.   Well the crew to trim them came earlier in the week and got the street side complete as the rain began to come down.  Now several days later the bushes were still in need of being completed, when I saw the men arriving this morning.  I was indeed pleased that they were following through.  When things need to be completed it seems like another thing on my to do list.   I like to follow through and see that goals are accomplished. Two weeks ago I noticed a change in the family room flooring and called in a builder that I trust... Continue Reading

Hi, Hope your week has gone well.  This is Linda Gullo and I am delighted to be with you.   Welcome to Mini Miracles from Minor Moments where a few tiny changes can escalate in your life and create monumental JOYS.  Our small daily habits can add up to make us vibrant and alive. Mini Miracles from Minor Moments is designed to help you find insights about yourself.  My plan is to help you like yourself and love life.  I think there are so many things we share in common that are often not talked about so today I am tackling one of those topics. Everyone goes through periods of uncertainty and inaction, but no one tells us how to navigate through them. We flounder and get frustrated.    Sometimes we give up, because it is just too overwhelming.  Yesterday, I wrote down a series of questions while I was praying about things, I needed to talk to God about these issues and asked for insight on 5 or 6 thoughts. Something was holding me back from taking action or maybe I didn’t even know where to begin.   That is when I need to go to the mountain top and discuss it in private with the Lord. As I was leaving the Chapel, I said to one of the people walking out with me that I didn’t feel like I had resolution to a series of questions I was praying about.   Jokingly she said, “Well you know how men are, they sometimes take time to answer.”  She then turned to her husband and said, “no offense Dear.” Well, I wasn’t even giving God the chance to respond!  And of course, I didn’t really expect immediate help.   None of my issues were with regard to a life and death crisis.  I did feel...

Hi this is Linda Gullo welcoming you to Mini Miracles from Minor Moments where the smallest moments can add up to make your days full of joy.   This is Podcast # 52 on Forging ahead through times of trouble.   We’d be foolish to think that all of life is easy, but life is challenging and it is hard to stay on top of it all. For many of us our faith in God and living with wholesome values helps us stay on task.  So where does your strength come from?   Is it God?   Is it people around you?  Those at work?   or Family members? Perhaps it comes in the form of reading good books?   Often the brief escape into a Fictional piece of writing helps you filter things out in your head.   OR  you run to books filled with advice and hopefully learn from them? I wrote a book several years ago called Erasing Adversity.   IT was a book about the story of a man who underwent a series of medical issues following a life altering brain injury and how treatment, perseverance, and scrambling for resolution took a toll on the family around him.    It was a book that was meant to give hope.  It was to be relatable to everyone whether they have cancer, go bankrupt, or encounter grief of any kind.  The need to read and share these sadnesses are meant to encourage one another. I have a sign in my office that reads “all things are temporary!”   We need to dream on and keep going.  We need to set goals and work toward better tomorrows.   We need to keep moving, creating, and finding new things to be interested in for ourselves and those around us.   We need to include more people and events into our lives by...

Hi Hope your week has gone well.  This is Linda Gullo and I am delighted to be with you.   Welcome to Mini Miracles from Minor Moments where a few tiny changes can escalate in your life and create monumental JOYS.  Our small daily habits can add up to make our vibrant and alive. Mini Miracles from Minor Moments is designed to help you find an insight about yourself.  My plan is to help you like yourself and love life.   Engaging in life and learning what works for you is the first step.  You don’t have to duplicate anyone else’s life or do things in a way that doesn’t fit. How are you doing as we wind down the month of April and move into May?  Are you on task with your goals for the year?   Do you have them written down?  If you are like me, they are always changing and taking on a new look.  But that is fine as long as we have a plan in place to get things accomplished. This is Podcast # 51 on Risk Taking.  On the Web page with this Podcast,  there is a picture of a bridge.   Many people are cautious about walking over a bridge, but if it is built well, it is a safe way to get from on side to another.  Constructions are made to be safe. Well I have a few stories for you to enjoy that bring up the topic of CALCULATED RISKS.  The first one is a rather funny one about teenage boys.  The following are about a Business options. I recently heard a funny story about a young man soon to be 17 years old.  He was staying with his father and a group of soccer friends for a few days in St. Louis for... Continue Reading

Happy Friday, I am your host Linda Gullo and this is Podcast #50.   Welcome to Mini Miracles from Minor Moments where just a few tiny changes can make a big difference in your happiness. This morning I was listening to Satellite radio and the guest was talking about a book he wrote on Ignatian Spirituality.  It encourages a person to reflect on their day and search out things that have happened.  It is used as a means of recognizing how God is present and working in our lives.   It is a means of growing closer to God and seeing all the wonderful things coming our way.   It also reminds us to be receptive of good things and aware of how we might be better to others. Well this whole week has been a series of small incremental steps in getting projects done.  I decided to share some of them with you as a means of allowing you to think about things happening in your own life. Please listen and enjoy.
