This has been a long hot summer - and turning the page for a new theme of refreshment sounds like a good idea! We begin this series by exploring what it would look like to refresh your relationships. Faith and Lois talk about restoring strength in your connections. What might you do to freshen up an important relationship? And how about  reconnecting to stimulate a friendship?  We hope this invites you to go deeper as you relate to those most important in your life.

Are you returning to the office? Continuing to work from home? These are the questions many of you are facing as some COVID restrictions are being relaxed. Today we'd like to consider how to adjust to these changes. How might you ease the transition? We offer some ideas about creating a new routine for returning to the office. And know that this transition will take time, maybe a few weeks or months. Planning for what's next makes a huge difference. Let us know how you're transitioning to the next phase!

Your spiritual routine may have changed throughout COVID. And now that many places of worship are easing restrictions to gather together, what does that mean for you? In our podcast we wonder about the ways in which you connect spiritually. You might have missed meeting with people on a regular basis, or maybe you've found new avenues to express your spirituality. Because of the changes, are you desiring to reconnect with your faith community or have you established another routine? So much to consider. Enjoy!

Throughout COVID, have you noticed changes in your body and mind? In our podcast today, we explore what your body has gone through over the past 15 months. We begin with your mental health and physical activity. Then we wonder how your eating habits have changed. Have you gotten better at taking care of yourself? No matter what, your body has carried you through a pandemic. Amazing!

In our new theme for the next few weeks, we're considering what's next in all areas of our lives as COVID restrictions change. In this podcast, we're wondering about the impact the pandemic has had on your relationships. What will you do to rekindle the friendships you may have set aside? As you rebuild your relationships, what might you be looking for? This time of reflection may offer you some new ideas as to what's most important.

Finding ways to celebrate milestones in your workplace can make a huge difference for you and your colleagues. In our podcast, we explore how to reward small successes. We find ways to share praise with your team. When you reflect on what you're accomplishing, you have strategies you can implement or ignore the next time around. And as you acknowledge those who helped you make key strides, you'll discover that positive reinforcements go a long way. Enjoy!

Celebrating your spirituality offers you enormous room for growth. In our podcast this week, we notice what happens when celebration and spirituality intersect. You find your voice, through your gifts and talents and how you speak into matters of life. You face your fears and find that still small place where you begin to know what happens next. Maybe you have the chance to reframe your attitude, and when you do - you know what what to do. And it's at that moment the portal into your creativity opens and you're ready to step out of your comfort zone.

When you think of celebration - how often does your body come to mind? In our podcast, we are considering several ways you can celebrate your body at any age. First, put it in perspective: your body has been with you every step of the way. Follow that up with some love for yourself. Now, are you ready to inspire and be inspired? And finally - how are you caring for your body so that you can continue to do what you want? Your body is worth celebrating!

Celebration is our new theme and we begin with how it inspires your relationships. In our podcast, we consider what happens when you appreciate people in your life. How well do you listen to understand what someone truly wants? Taking pictures is a great way to let people know you how much they mean to you. Maybe even writing a note of thanks when someone least expects it. And when you plan something together, you connect on a deeper level. Celebrate those in your life who bring you joy! And discover what happens in return.

Renovating how you go about your work offers you the ability to restore your craft to a better state. In our podcast today, we offer three ideas. First, decide what you want to change to make your job more ideal. How about a mission statement for what you do? Next, determine how that change will impact you in the long term. And finally, how will you put those new ideas into practice? We'd love to hear what you come up with!
