Dedicated to those committed to a healing journey, who are needing to look at their photos as part of the process. 

You may think Kris has lost her marbles (apologies to those feeling triggered). 

But seriously, there is so much love in our pictures, and on the flip side of that, there are many photos that keep us from finding that love, holding us back through guilt, clutter and other images that keep us in patterns of pain. 

Kris LeDonne, host of Picture Love Podcast offers some deeper reflections on how destroying photos mindfully, can be an important way to break cycles, heal ourselves and even re-parent one's inner child, who needs a voice. 

Top 3 reasons include:

1. When there are too many redundancies
2. When they hurt someone else 
3. When they hurt ourselves 

Other valuable thoughts include: NOT letting legacies be made from clutter, Letting loved ones have the images they want while letting go of the ones that cause you blocks, and extra healing thoughts to support our journey. All presented with love

Host Kris LeDonne reflects on a nugget from last week's episode of Picture Love, when Kathryn Garland shared her perspective on candid photos of her everyday moments. 

Key themes and ideas of this short episode include:

• Noticing the gratitude of a moment - whether or not you have a photo- but giving it the focus and energy that attracts more experiences to appreciate
• Sometimes a photo that reminds us of someone we lost is a powerful way to celebrate that life and connection. 
• A compliment that changed the trajectory of the day
• Photos help us be more conscious of that love in beautiful experiences
• Don't Dodge out of the frame- allow yourself to be in a photo, because it matters to the people who share a memory with you. 
• Go ahead, capture the moment, then put the device away and make the memory.It'll be waiting for you. 
• Look for everyday moments you can enjoy today
• Kris shares a new offering: mixed media photo art pieces or grouping- starting to be shared on her Instagram @Krisreminisce
• Inspiration: Display a collection of photos with positive feelings, to be greeted with images of things that have beautiful and healing emotions attached to them.
• Here’s the episode referenced with Kathryn Garland.

Kris LeDonne is pleased to share a heartfelt conversation with Kristin Wilson, the host of the Solidarity Sister! podcast. 

In this episode, Kristin indulges us with reminiscence of stories with family life, her personal goals, limits and lessons and how community is woven throughout all of it. 

The Solidarity Sister! podcast and corresponding FB group are designed to empower women with practical tools for building powerful communities and leaning in through both joy and trauma. Kristin knows what it's like to desperately need help and not know how to ask and to see a friend in need and not know how to show up. She is on a journey to figure this out and is inviting other women to do it alongside her. Kristin has been married for 25 years and is the mother of 8 children.

Kris LeDonne created this episode to hold space for each of us to take a mental inventory of who's voices remain in our thoughts. You may be past this point in your life, or you're not ready to go there yet, ...  or maybe you're like me and realize your life is like an onion and each layer reveals new levels of sweetness and powerful emotion. 
You are invited to unpack the head stuff that keeps our hearts from being heard:

• Let's bless & release things that served us at some point but we've outgrown
• Declutter the thoughts that serve nobody and take them out with the trash
• Dust the shelves that held the wrong items for too long and thank them for hold up
• And celebrate, polish and display the things that really do reflect our best selves TODAY and that honor a better presence in our lives!
• Smile knowing it's part of life and will need to happen again at different times... and that's OKAY! 
• Above all, love yourself and your heart will be able to love others more fully. 

Let's picture love together!

Fellow podcasters Kris LeDonne and Christy Fontaine engage in heartfelt conversation about showing up "as you are" with candid perspectives on living life as the best version of ourselves, in the many roles we fill.  Here are some key takeaways from this conversation:

1.  It's OK to ask for help, receive help and it doesn't make you less of anything.
2.  There is joy on holding somebody else's shovel when we do it from a place of intention and not obligation
3. A lot can be learned from looking at a picture of ourselves a year ago to measure back and decide what went well and how we might need to grow going forward
4. There is so much joy and freedom when we let go of old beliefs & stories that just don't fit us anymore
5. We can never fully, love somebody else if we don't love ourselves 
6. Humor is a tool of resiliency that allows us to laugh at ourselves, and find hidden joys in the imperfection of life
7. Laugh out loud and don't worry who's looking. 
8. Reminiscing through old photos can reconnect us to our roots & it's important to protect them so they can be enjoyed and shared when they're needed most.
9. Even when you can't find that special picture, there's still joy in retelling special moments. 
10. Never underestimate the sentimental power of a handwritten note.
