Mom's Strange Magic

After a time of wandering and looking for things that were already in front of me, Mom's Strange Magic has returned! Huzzah!

So, the title of this podcast is based on a quote from Hunter S. Thompson - "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." That's exactly where my life has always been - in the land of weird, wild, and wonderful. For far too long I just kept all that richness to myself, or sidestepped it using language that didn't make me look like The Outsider. However, that was just too much to carry around, so I decided it was time to, as Thompson said, go pro.

This episode was cut a bit short at the end due to the arrival of Mr. The Mister. Also, it was just time to end it, as I would have rambled and pontificated for another hour or so.

Sometimes life has a funny way of helping you out.

In this episode I talk about finding the book, "The Psychic Pathway" by Sonia Choquette, in 1995, and how it was the balm my soul needed. There's also some discussion about being intuitive, how I've tried to "fit in" with various groups, and my usual garden variety storytelling.

Hello y'all! This week's episode is like that next to last chapter in your favorite book. You know, the part where you see how the main character pieces all the previous experiences into a magnificent lesson...

And tomorrow, well, it's gonna be May...

This week's podcast is a full snack. There are things I've wanted to say for a long time, and personal epiphanies that need to wander around in the world untethered and unrestrained. This isn't a "things are about to get real," but more like, "dang, I could have been doing this all along instead of pushing myself into places I don't need to be." Sort of like a real life version of Glinda the Good Witch coming to me and saying, "Yo, Kim, you've had the power all this time."

This week's episode is about how comparison is not helpful for growth, near death experiences (NDEs), and how we let things still our joy.

The mystics and sages of old encourage us to walk as authentically as we can - to face reality in the best possible manner we have available. When I started this podcast it wasn't for the likes and shares, but to move out of a comfort zone. One of my favorite bits of words from Rumi sums it up nicely.
"Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?"

This week's episode is a more personal "ramble" than usual. After walking all around the world (so to speak) I realized the Philosopher's Stone had always been in my yard the whole time.

This week's episode has som technical difficulties due to the wild nature of cats. Maybe they need their own podcast? Would that be niche enough?

One of the things I see happening across the board is that we are all niche-ing ourselves into corners we should never be in. We are complex organisms, not automatons. So, as per usual, you'll get a right proper ramble about not letting yourself get stuck into the niche.

This week's episode has a few words about, you guessed it, the active role that social media has in fostering division. There's also some rambling, tangent wanders, and much more.
